Today was largely spent on the end of a shovel.

Dug trenches (in solid clay) and ran lines out of the shed for:
  • sump drain
  • fishtank drain
  • sink drain

(I wonder why sometimes my lists change font size?)

Also a trench for the water line to the sink tap.

Plumbed it all up:

Again, I'm rooted. I need homebrew.

You can get a lot of stuff on a Hilux if you have enough ratchet straps.

Two, 4,000L, specially-designed aquaponics fishtanks, ex-UTS.

Sadly, they leak. A lot.

They were cut in half to get them out of the building they were in.

Nothing several gallons of fibreglass resin won't fix.

Nice head.

Do you do full mash?


Yes, takes about 5 hrs and I make 42L batches

Nice pickup on the tanks. You must really have your ear to the ground to find all this stuff, good work

We're about to move on from kits/modified kits to mash - one of Kathy's Christmas presents was a grain mill. We may try boil-in-a-bag. How did you learn?

Yes, the tanks were a score - friend-of-a-friend.
