I'll ghladly pay for shipping across the imaginary line!

Get an electrician to install a small sub panel at the main panel and do the run yourself to save some $, or if you have an older house maybe a new panel with more capacity is an option, as well as having a up to date panel.

Yeah, my bad, I was way off. Late night foruming is a bad idea. BasicBrewing porter variations Direct from the source I badly quoted.

Is anyone on Vancouver water using Campden/pre-boil/just letting their water sit out in order to drive off any chlorine flavours? Anyone noticed a difference with/without? I notice a tiny bit of a chlorine-y tang in the aftertaste of my beers. Nothing bad enough to make me NOT drink it, but...

Any photos of this set up? Does the 100' of copper circle the walls or just act as a radiator in the corner of the room?

So, fresh from the 'global disruptors' at ZX Ventures (an arm of our friends AB-InBev) come the Whym. whymkit.com Make fresh beer on your counter top in 24 hours! Why do all that silly waiting around for fermentation? Instead, you get a can of beer base, add a few grains and hops...
