Yes thanks Garry, we'd all be very kinky up here if you hadn't sent it up to us!

Here's how I got on (and a couple other pictures from the last brewday). The bottom bend is not visible but it is -very- gentle and a bit untidy. Steve had trouble with kinks with the pipe bender, so caution was the name of the game. It's also a bit high, the top two coils were out of the wort, but it still did a great job.

Also the boiler is insulated with cardboard from a tayto multipack and baling tape. Ghetto brewery!

Why is there an electric lead going to that Mash tun? uck me YOU PUT AN ELEMENT IN A MASH TUN? :o :o
Luvin the double tap, there is a house somewhere in the country where they can't turn off the supply to the immersion tank  ;)
how much sterilising are you gonna do with that much bleach and vinegar   :)

Second coolerbox is the HLT

Double tap is because the twist tap is a pain in the hole and I had no connection to fit the good tap! There will be some upgrades in order when I get out of college!
