    I’m 32 and more of a breakaway rider than a climber or a sprinter. Predominantly rode track for the past few years in London (with a preference for the endurance events), but back doing some road racing now that I’m nowhere near a track on the west coast of Ireland.

    Ha ha ha, I tend to stick to the flatter races now!

    I rode rás Dhun na nGall a few years back and the final stage finish was at the top of Glengesh. Misery.

    WiFi Temperature Probe and Controller with MQTT (maybe Inkbird)

    It’s a while since I’ve played with sonoff relays or homeassistant (had them running in my old house but shut everything down and boxed them up when we moved, and don’t miss smart home tech), but back then flashing them with tasmota was the best way to integrate them into home assistant. There...

    You could probably make something with a sonoff th16 if you’re planning to use home assistant to control it?

    Mini mash extract brew - partial or full volume boil?

    I’ve brewed about 14 or 15 all grain beers to date, but having just bought a house and moved in I’m currently short of space in which to brew while we get settled (cant brew in the kitchen as it’s just been painted and extractor may as well not be there, and can’t brew outdoors as I’ve no...

    Have a go at simple AG

    Why not? Isn’t that pretty much what a partial mash brew is?

    Probably, but I personally wouldn’t like to wait til the end of a brew day to find out :)

    Fitting in AG brewing around life

    I’ve tried a 20 min mash and 20 min boil a few times with great success, a bit like the brulosophy short and shoddy brews. For smaller 5-10 litre batches this enables a 2 hour brew day, but would probably take longer with full sized batches for heating and cooling.

    Fitting in AG brewing around life

    It all depends on what aspect of home brewing you enjoy, it sounds like for some of the above it’s the brew day itself, but for others it’s the building of a brew system or the actual drinking of the beer with friends and family, so OP, don’t feel pressured into carving out time to enjoy brew...

    Fitting in AG brewing around life

    I’ve used a hdpe Jerry can, they cost like 5 quid each, but a good friend has just left it in his kettle overnight and it worked well for him too. I’d be more inclined to try the latter now, as it means one less vessel to wash and store.

    No chill would probably shave another hour off. I’ve done a couple and they turned out great.
