"Fermchamber" uwwhherrr what a posh name for an auld fridge with a STC-1000. O0

Total cost of FCs range from €10 for the STC with free fridge all the way up to a cheap larder fridge plus STC!
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

An auld fridge is also on the list, just need to find some space!!!

Cheers

I haven't brewed since I ordered this so alot of pent up brewing to do. I have to do my batch for the NCB barrel and I really want to do an RIS. There's a kit included with crushed grains. Think it's a Saison Kit I requested so might as well do that first.

I'm the same, haven't brewed in almost 2 months looking forward to Saturday. I'm hoping to give the Kraken American Amber a whirl

I haven't brewed in months either. My order still isn't marked co eye yet tho... ???

It'll all be fine once I hear the whirr of the circulation pump tho... :)

Oooohhh! A big parcel has arrived to my home place, won't know what it is until tomorrow... :'(  ;D

fishjam45 (Colin)

Received mine earlier today, assembled it in no time at all!

Will put it through its paces tomorrow night.

Nice and shiny ... very shiny!

Nice one, mine should arrive today (fingers crossed)  :)

My pot isn't big enough for heating a large amount of sparge water as I only did 1 gallon batches, so I went ahead and purchased a 20 ltr Catering Urn online for €85 delivered.

This should hopefully free up even more time and avoid me standing at the hob with a thermometer in hand. It also has a keep warm feature, so once you hit temp it will hold it, so you're ready to sparge once your mash is done.

It's not essential, but should make brew day a little quicker/easier!


beanstalk

Deadly. Can you put up a link for that?

I've so much different grain in the house now I don't know what I'll brew first on it at the weekend! Woe is me... ;D

A very large box has just been delivered. 26kgs in fact.

First job tidy up the place so I can unpack it!
