I've been brewing kits and all grain for nearly 20years now, usually at least once a month or so - usually I do it at thr back door by the kitchen, but there's a lot of setup and take down each time (and its not an ideal location). And yes, it's definitely about the enjoyment of brewing than a...

Thanks - thats useful to know. They seem to be around £300. In terms of running the pipe, I assume it would need buried to deal with cold temps etc. How deep would it need to be? Is it just a case of digging a trench or would it need lined or something? (I assume this would be a big cost saver...

Hehe - I'm going to go with quaffable! :p

Yeah - moving the water is an option - say with a caravan water roller drum - but I'm doing 5 gallon all-grain batches, so I'm needing 40L+ each batch... plus a cooling coil is a nice feature to have which needs extra water that can flow - and I'm really just wondering what the requirements...

I'm currently looking into getting a shed/workshop space built at the bottom of the garden, and it would be nice to be able to have running water and a kitchen sink - though no need for a toilet/shower etc. The issue is that the location is about 25m from the house, where the water and drains...

Thanks for that info - I'll look into replacing the actuator. Is the valve screw/couplings a standard fitting that will take any actuator, or do I need to purchase one of the same range/model as the current one?

I've got a BGMVSP-23 actuator (aka Drayton MA1) set up on my boiler system. I noticed the other day that some of the radiators were staying on when HW was selected, and that the hot water seemed to be less hot than usual. Having taken the actuator off the valve and switched the controls, the...
