Brian,

Do you still have the euro power supplies for the bulldog pumps? I have a Euro adapter and would happily take one instead of waiting for the uk ones to come into stock.

[HomeBrewWest]

OK, let me see what I an do. I'll try to get some in.

[HomeBrewWest]

My pump has not stuck and I have a few solar pumps on standby should it fail. What is the replacement power supply?, is it a higher voltage?. I have loads of power supplies so could probably just swap it myself

http://www.soundcloud.com/aural-abuse

No, the voltage must stay the same as the original. But it needs more power . . . more Amps. So, it a nutshell:
- same voltage,
- higher amps (A) or higher power (W, Watts, or VA).

[Dracusse]

Same there i can take a euro power supply have few adapters there ...

[Dr Brown Ale]

 Don't mind a euro either

[HomeBrewWest]

I'm on it . . . will be a week or two though.

New Nitrogen Flushed Chamber Vac Packer For Hops
This beastie cost us a small fortune . . . . but its high time we took the lead in hop packaging since we've been lagging for a while.
See a video of it in operation earlier today:
http://www.homebrewwest.ie/news-22-w.asp
along with a description explaining why its a quantum improvement.  Its interesting to see how it works. I'll post another video when we get the nitrogen flushing up and running next week.

[Leann ull]

Looks great

[Dr Brown Ale]

Hi,

Do you have any 2016 USA hops in stock?

[HomeBrewWest]

On the way. Could be a few weeks though. We were the first with 2015 hops, slower this year for good reasons. All will be revealed when they arrive.
