I was brewing yesterday, currently catching up with everything I should have been doing when I was in the shed

I am waiting for delivery of 400 litres of methanol and 50Kg of KOH tomorrow (going back to KOH for the winter as liquid glyc will make glogs much easier).
Over the last two weeks I have been doing loads of building works in my outbuilding and rejigging the heating etc.

Loads of pics to follow once it is all tidy.

I have thought it has been quiet for a while.
Brewed today, went well in the very wet conditions, especially the demeth at over 5L per hour. Why is it faster sometimes than others?

Also been on a central heating project. Over 1000 litre thermal store, if that is what it can bee called. Needs more insulation, but that can come in time.
Going to have a WMO burner heating it, eventually. The way the weather is, it might be this week, because there is not much work I can do in this.

If I erect a bit of a canopy in the morning, to keep the rain off as I plumb it in, I might stand a chance of getting it fired up.

I somehow doubt it will be anywhere near as tidy a Jules' setup though.........

Yep it's certainly been quiet for some time.

I've built a new defuser for drying my washed bio, it's basically the top of a stainless steel patio heater but I've been a bit cleaver with how the bio is introduced to it.
I've only dried one batch with it so far and had problems with the new thermostat in the heater not going over 55°,
but I'll be doing another batch this week so will take some pics when it's in use.

How coincidental, I've been re-positioning my diffuser today.

It now generates a surface area in excess of 3, 700cm^2 in a single unbroken film of WVO.
