I am having a hard time squaring "Fairly easy place to live" and "Can't get bacon though".

Point taken RJ. Some day one say I'm going to do a run with my engineer mate. He can do the maths and read the graphs.
First catch your pig ...

@Brian: I have looked up making bacon. Some time ago. One of the problems is: A guy will arrive at the market with half a pig across the back of his motorbike. It has travelled however far, in the dust, heat, traffic and flies.
Pig finally arrives at the market, gets dumped onto a piece of cardboard and is then chopped up into little bits. The Chinese like bite size bones with a little meat somewhere.
However, I have seen some pork bellies that could work. Thanks for the nudge.

@ Mr. Four Square: Don't wait for your mate.
If it's any help, I record everything, starting with fermentation. What went in and how much, temps, SG. Temp, SG and rate of change of SG gets recorded every morning. I can then see at a glance if all is going well.
Runs are recorded every hour and include time, temp, volume collected and %ABV of same. Again, at a glance I can see if the run is within the acceptable range of previous runs.
I believe it helps me. I can go to a 3 year old product that is ageing and be able to look up how long it took to ferment, or how much alcohol I pulled off a run, etc. Management by statistics.
