Not to be a know-all but have you considered a portable induction hob? You would need one with pseude stepless control, eg a rotary control (such as this one) as you probably can't use an SSR to control it (the hob won't auto power on when the SSR closes the circuit). Merry Christmas!

I watched The Last Kingdom a while ago, pretty decent show.

There's always a chance you get a knock off. I don't buy stainless parts on Ali anymore because of the poor quality some merchants send you; once ordered a batch of cam lock fittings that were poorly cast and filled with some sort of mystery crud that I couldn't get rid of. They became paper...

StereoType O Negative - Last Christmas on SoundCloud

Finished my minikeezer recently. Kegged a batch of kit+kilo Yorkshire Bitter which came out as an acetaldehyde bomb. Not really a nice beer to christen the keezer with unfortunately.

My mom was a lifelong smoker too, passed away at 63 from lung cancer. Young people that smoke can't imagine the degrading and horrendous way you die from that, it took my mom 5 years to slowly suffocate and the last year was absolute absolute horror.

I smoked from 15, 16 to 26. Got up one morning with a bad tobacco hangover (was at a party where I must have smoked about 2 packs), saw the disgusting ash tray and decided then and there to quit. Haven't touched it since. The gods have rewarded me for my effort with giving me asthma and...

This guy removes them from his store once in a while, probably when out of stock. Ordered one from him, got here (EU) quicker than most orders from China.

I got an iPhone SE to replace my 5S because like you I don't really want to go larger than 4". This should be a very nice update for you camera wise, it's fast and future proof. You won't get any of the newer features of iOS though so the 'new gadget' factor might disappoint. I am not really...

Yeah, I get 12ppm from a brand spanking new RO system (down from 320ppm) which the store where I bought it says is within acceptable limits.

Enough time how to figure out how to brew a decent 80/- so you don't have to be without once you move!

This is very interesting. The literal translation of the Norwegian word for meadowsweet is 'Mead herb' (Mjødurt). Do you have an inkling about how strong one should make the herb tea? And what yeast to use?

This one is still fermenting, took off fast enough and has been bubbling away steadily. Is this strain known to be slow? OG was 1.046, pitched 1 pack into well aerated 5G.

Proper protection (other than overn mitts) is something that a lot of homebrewers don't seem think about. I always wear a dust mask / face protection when working with stuff that generates dust or spray (malt, pbw, star san etc). Better safe than sorry! Ever had a lungful of star san mist? It...

They are also very susceptible to bending damage, I kept one in my wallet for safekeeping for a short amount of time and while it looked perfectly fine and undamaged when I took it out and used it it almost set my laptop on fire,; it melted the SD to micro SD adapter card. Needless to say it...

PBW has worked for me for things like these. Maybe boil it after for some extra peace of mind.

Nur Regen wie immer :) I know of a few shops Dutch brewers sometimes order from: http://amihopfen.com/ http://www.hobbybrauerversand.de/Startseite Our most popular Dutch shop also ships to Germany (€7.95 postage): https://www.brouwmarkt.nl/ if you need help with the last one just...

Wilkommen aus Holland! Gibts schon Schnee dort? ;) Many happy brews!

Well I heard people say they don't 'believe' in Brulosophy outcomes because of some of those dogmas. DMS when boiling with the lid on for instance. He must not have done it right! Those people are the Homebrew Inquisition rather than police.

I would say do a batch with store bought bottled water to rule out any water chem issues. If that gives the same results start cleaning/renewing your gear. Do you have a two piece plastic spigot on your FV? Those can have hard to clean nasties.
