Aidan....good for you mate, its a functional w/shop for distilling and it looks like you're well on the way to 'settling in' re new abode.....

I've gotta ask though.....
re [i]but after some consideration I decided against that just in case of a puke spewing wash into the keg and forcing me to redistill the lot. [/i]
is this an issue for you anymore (given your attendant focus on quality ferments, etc?)....and, if it is, why?

(BTW I am gonna assume the answer is to-be-sure, to-be-sure ;) )

Sorry for missing this Frank ::)

You got it first time, to-be-sure-to-be-sure and begorrah!

It's kinda like the reason I use a mechanical timer on the socket my power controller is plugged into and set for just 1 hour. I never leave my still when it's running except to go to the bog or get a coffee etc., but that's when it's easy to get side tracked and lose track of time. Once I'm in my workshop a small alarm tells me when it's time to press the reset button. ;) Simples!

Murphy's Law states anything that can go wrong, probably will, if you haven't anticipated it and put things in place to catch it. ;)

Are you running that timer with a contractor? Most of them aren't rated to run large loads, and tend to fail on the on position (fused on) so wont cut off the power after the time is expired.
