I just plug my fridge into the heating side of the inkbird. Save messing around changing settings athumb.. fridge is turned on permanently as inkbird tries to heat the fridge up.

Happy if gotonebrewing wants it though as he was first come first serve so to speak

Change of plan im happy to have both as got a mate that wants a boiler.

is the chiller still available?

I imagine the recipe your thinking without hops will just give you a nice dry stout that im sure will be very drinkable ! Hops wise i have never had campden ink myself so cant really give any advice on flavours but if it was me i would just bang 25g of each in and see how it goes !!

got my hops from cross my loof . Havent looked at there yeast so will have a gander !

CML? Excuse my lack of knowledge on the old abbreviation! Got the yeast for a local HB shop ages ago. Hoping the dry hop gives it a nice lift !

Session best bitter begins ! Well started it saturday actually so it began then ! Will see how it comes out !keep ya posted !

Well they reckon stout gets better the more months you leave it ! You never know those cacao nibs might blend in later down the line ;-)

15 days conditioned ! Tasting very good already . Can only get better now ! (he says) its a winner! Thanks everyone !

Cheers pete. Ordered mi sen a strainer !! Just need to finish whats in my barrel now and then its brew o clock!

Nice one alside ! Looking forward to having a crack at that!

Sounds good to me alside! Fire away! Actually been intending on having a dabble in extract/a.g for my next brew to be fair and where better to start than a pedi clone!

Cheers pete. Better late than never . Not opened the pack yet but the last lot i had was in a teabag of sorts. Those little strainer things look good! Think gonna do the dry hop with some muslin or maybe get one of those fancy little strainers ! But if all else fails ill do the hop tea haha ...

Thanks for clearing that up folks . Could never understand why people left it in primary so long when most kits say 4-6 days ! All confusing stuff for an amateur ! The hop pellets that i have come sealed in a foil bag so im thinking the (teabag) they are in will be ready to just drop in . So...
