what's your favourite piece of homebrew equipment

[Will_D]

I know a few of ye's have missed this post in the GF thread:


So after a lot of work and vists to Beaumont the Great Grain Father has been fabricated.

There are 3 layers of 2mm radiator foam/foil under the 1.0 mm "Circle's SS outer wrapper sheet".

Why the brass bands? Why not!

The outside temp is now like 30C and the GGF is now a hell of a lot more thermally efficient 

Just need to swap out the controller for one of my flashed STCs

Jaysus Will, that is a thing of beauty.

Nothing escapes an eagle eyed Welshman (particularly if its a fine looking sheep - Baaa!)

WILL! You're better than that. I would like to distance myself from Will D's comments.

I can't help but feel that this is a rather pathetic attempt at a mines a nicer shiny attempt after my previous post....but hey I suspect mines bigger.....

Some "circles" for the weekend Sir?

Saw the following on a U.S. Homebrewers vid



Great for cleaning stubborn spots on  conicals or Carboys

[DEMPSEY]

Cannot make it out, is it magnetic and you toss one piece into the glass jar

[Leann ull]

Indeed

[johnrm]

Good idea - Theres something similar for fishtanks.

Got my thermapen and really pleased with it. Best buy in a while. Ridiculously fast, and turns out my stc-1000 was 0.6c out. Cheap amazon thermometer I was using before was at least 0.9c out if not more, it's hard to even get it to make up its mind in the ice bath. Definitely recommend the thermapen

Sweet I got a Thermapen recently as a present but haven't brewed with it yet. Hoping to try it out this weekend. Have absolutely no confidence in the thermometers I've been using so far.

My new 38.5l thermopot from Bergland. Holds the temp really well..

Hope you bought it direct from their ebay site, they are pretty good performers as MT's and nice and easy to work on, I have a 60 60 80 and a 6 for the herms
Post if you want any steers

Thanks CH I will definatly have a few questions over the next few weeks. Still dont know what way i will configure it yet. Struggling with just using for mashing or sticking an element in to use in a biab setup.

yeah got them straight from them.
