Getting brewing equipment in the strangest places

[hairybiker]

After a trip to the local £1 shop. I came away with a slotted spoon (with a large carving fork no use that ). The slotted spoon has a large mainly flat working area and is great at stirring the mash (about 2" across) ... and it is SS :

They also have the digital timers back in stock great for setting at 60/75 min for the additions stage of the boll.

So anybody else got any useful brewing equipment from a strange retailer?

None for me.
I'm a typical, Jewsons for plumbing bits, and solar equipment supplier for pump.

Unless the old train transformer that controls my pump? It's variable, the speed that is :thumb: So that's a 30+ years old
