Sorry to hear of the Health issues VT.
You are too far from me,
I hope you receive a decent donation for your kit.
It is possible to distill in small spaces, is it not?

Hi all.

I have a beer fridge which is a Seimens intergrated type fridge controlled by an ITC-1000
It isn't fitted into a unit but is used as stand alone on a worktop.

This is FREE for collection only, along with as much FREE homebrew gear you can carry, but a small donation would be appreciated.
My reason for sale is that I am moving into a sheltered apartment due to ill health.
My location is about 5 miles East of Norwich.

Anyone interested please PM me.

I don't see a gain in microwaving it. To reduce the hardness boil the water and then let it cool slowly (insulate) then rack.

I don't have a tank Mash, I have one of those over sink water heaters that heat the water from the mains. It's only a 3KW jobbie, so not all that. I just wondered if Microwaving would do any good

I now ferment using a mixture of hot tap water and backset from the strip run. For the Spirit runs and blending I've had to use a combination of hot water, filters and patience. I don't want to have to go and buy water in or use chemical filters as that sort of goes against my ethos but I was thinking of microwaving tap water, I wonder if that would help?

Is your hot tap instantaneous or from a tank?

Nice, cannot beat the real thing. I still have a good pile of JD chips from when B&Q sold them off for £3 a go.

Not bragging,(much!) but over the weekend I was presented with four barrel staves from a newly retired barrel from an Islay distillery.
A welcome update to the very old staves that I have been using.
I am looking forward to cutting them to size and using them.

Robert.

I have a bag but am a wee bit loathed to use them as there is no mention of where or what they come from, also don't smell of whisky.
