So I have gone ahead and bought all the stuff I need to get brewing my beer 
I have almost completed my wort chiller which is made from 20ft of 12mm (1/2 inch) annealed copper terminating at a tap fitting to take a couple of flexible fittings I happened to have lying handy... so why not make use. I used 12mm because I think the more metal and water you have in contact with the wort the quicker you cool it. I am also going to rig my cordless drill to drive a mixing paddle to turbo the process
.
I have been going on a bit about energy conservation in the boiling phase and came across this video on youtube . Thought provoking for me on two levels. one it does not seem to have a detrimental effect on DMS retention and two the type of beer I will be attempting to make relies almost totally on heavy late hopping for flavour/aroma . I am guessing if I double up on the early hopping I will be near perfect for my flavour profile.
