Thanks guys : ) It's been a real learning experience making this, and I'm not sure I'd attempt it again without a workshop to build it in. Doing the whole thing outside in british weather is a right pain, and it's taken a whole lot of trial and error to get a working brewery. I'd love to give it a go building a new one but this time use stainless, with stainless pots instead of kegs, welded fittings and no copper. I'm still a big fan of the electric aspect though and I've had no electrical faults yet. One thing I do want to get sorted is a fixing point for a water supply and drain point on the side of the frame. I'll be sorting this next month or in the new year.

I've taken the first steps in adding to the brewery this year, by fitting an outside tap next to it as a water source, and by buying a new fermenter. I've also worked out how to go about chilling the beer in a sanitary way.

Today though, I spent my lunch hour making this; a guide to how the system works. It's kind of written for my friends who know nothing about brewing, but I like it so I thought I'd share
