Hi there everyone,I'm Mike,as per the title,from Norfolk!.I live about 3-4 miles from the Woodfordes Brewery,so I am in good company!.My Grandfather worked for Watneys all his life,and my father spent a good few years there too,unfortunately they have both passed away before imparting any knowledge to my ignorant self,so I have too admit to being a total newbie in this new found hobby of mine.(I did dabble with Boots brew kits in the mid 80's but less said about that the better!);-).
Anyway,to cut a long story short,(well short'er') I received a Coopers DIY beer kit for fathers day (the plain lager one),and since then I have managed to make a heated,st1000 controlled brew fridge,thanks to the good old Mother-in-law who donated the fridge! (I didn't let her know exactly why I wanted it though,and she would probably have a fit,as I 'dremeled' a load off the inner door,so as to fit the FV on the foor,so I have enough room to remove the krausen ring ...:rofl:).
Anyway,just finished the brew,and plopped it in to the new fridge at a constant 21.5c with a 1c leeway,I couldnt fit the heater under the FV and still have room to remove the krausen ring,so it had to go infront of the cooling element...:cry:,but hopefully it will be OK...Just dont tell the Mother-in-law....:???:
Thanks for having me here!,all the best.
Mike
