    Temperature Controller Wiring

    Like JamesB says, wiring looks fine, AN RCD basically makes sure that there is a balance between phase and neutral, there is a chance that when the controller switches between heat and cool, it is only switching the live, thus for a very quick time there could be an imbalance, and the RCD does...

    Keg Rules

    Surley a keg is a great cheap boiler / hlt if you keep quiet and they are not legitimate - not that I would promote such a thing :whistle: , however at £75 a pop, you would be mad not to go for a 50L thermobox and 2 100L stockpots, at around £160 delivered. they are then legally yours, the MT...

    Brunken Dastard's Big Bad Brewery Build

    Burner For 70l Stock Pot

    i'm changing to gas and used a large Tripod burner from Hamilton Gas products. I've got a 100l Stock pot on order but used it last week with my keg, it took about 25 mins to get to temp (50 deg to boil), there is a possibility I might need a larger one for 80L of wort, but I think it is ample...

    Gas OR Electric.

    My first 5 AG brews were electric, but the element played up on my 6th brew this weekend, so I have switched to Gas, I am in the process of upgrading from 5 gallon kegs to 100L Stock pots, and like the idea of gas. Making beer and playing with fire - it don't get better IMO
