Finally, after 3 months in limbo living with my son and his farty labrador dogs I'm in my new house
I am surrounded by cardboard boxes but am very happy. Before I moved I retired the lovely Urnestine (40L buffalo boiler) and converted an old but unused German 50L barrel into my new boiler. I just have to do the sac run now which has been bubbling for a week already
Got to get your priorities right so I sacked unpacking and upgraded the power outlet in my garage to 20 amps, for my welder obviously, ahem. My new element turned out to be 3.5kw so I upgraded my scr from 4000w to 10000w. I might start thinking about unpacking my suitcase now the important stuff is done
, it's good to be back in the game

Welcome back.
Welcome to you new home. Do like people with the right priorities. I am sure some chap called Maslow said they most important things were food, shelter and vodka
When are the farty labradors coming to visit?

Welcome back to the game!
Once you have a decent fermenting space, the world is your oyster.
Enjoy!

Or...
Once you have a decent fermenting space, the world is your vodka

I did have a decent brewing space until my son moved house too a few days ago. Now my brew area/garage is full of my sons gear that he couldn't stash elsewhere. I can't complain tho, his garage was full of my tat for 3 months till I eventually moved

Swings and round-abouts.
It will all sort it's self.

I know someone who has a wooden false wall in the garage. Brick wallpaper and a hidden door.
You don't know it's there.

Someone asked me what were the main constituents of my personal Retail Price Index.
Sugar,Malt and electricity.
Everything else is peripheral.
