Hi, I haven't brewed a while so it's time to pass on all my collected gear, the photos give an idea as to what there is, but here is a list of the main items I guess, Collection from Reading please, crates in the photos also available. If someone does want it all please make me an offer...

Add me to that pot please, any of these would be useful :smile6:

Yep, no different than any other brew day, my current tun is a home made insulated plastic bucket, it gets a good pre-heat before use.

That looks lovely, and already have a thermo pot on my wish list for Mash Tun upgrade in the future.

Not my video but I found this very handy when working out how to set my water calculations for my equipment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8mEJ_WTJ2o I now have the basic calcs in an excel sheet for a quick and easy water volume check
