I certainly hope so it's been a while just waiting for the boiler to come to the boil then 1st hops in
 
I haven't had a phone call, so eddie hasn't pickled his brains with which pipe goes where or which switch does what, so it should be a good un :D

Where did you get your hop stopper from Eddie. Is it an MD custom made job.
yes its all MD's work id never be able to fab that works great a little more loss than expected but i think a short [iece of vossys hose to create a syphon effect will reduce that still only about 2l of loss
