The Reserection

[newtonsshed]

Hi All, not been on here or done some brewing for quite some time now about 5 years - had now 2 kids and moved house.My youngest is 5 months the eldeest is 6.

Anyhow's I got so far a few years ago onbuilding the brewery I've got 3 old beer kegs converted to brew pots (keggle) an old kettle and copper tubing for a small hrms system that I planned, most of the ball valves and hose required I just need to clean it all down As the name suggests, I brew in the Shed which has now long last got electrics in so I can be a bit sophistocated this time round no more working by candle light.

The main bits left to sort out (apart from cleaning everything down) is sourcing a decent pump I previously tried the little brown pump/solar pump with limited success couldn't get it to pump theven clean cold water from the hlt to mash tun without it cutting out, I'm now tempted to use one of these http://www.homebrewbuilder.co.uk/pumps.html
but again it's only 12 volts and not sure if have similar issues as well as needing the 3amp supply to it or might just bite the bullet and go for a march or totton pump but didn't really want spend that much. I also need some better false bottoms currently using the copper manifolds out the old plastic system which last time tried using the plate chiller it just blocked.

I also need to finish the FV cupboard also in the shed I've doubled skineed and insulated inbetween and was going to put a heating tube along with an under counter fridge but as cupboard is bigger then a gridge I was going to take the foor off and fit the inside to part og the cupboard wall but niot sure if that wold work what you think>?

Thanks
Andy
