Great video, right up my street. I love doing experiments like this and used to do it to check the difference of the cost of brewing when the solar panels were really kicking it out compared to when they weren't. This is on the Inductiana Jones which I still haven't shown people but I will because I've still been filming everything. I remember the solar saving about 60p.
That's awesome. Dan has just put up some solar but the inverter isn't big enough to power the kettle. It charges a battery to power the lights music and camera gear.
hi guys, so how much beer and what kind of beer is being brewed? Is it a full 21 liter batch of something middle of the road 5%-5.5% abv? 19 liter? half batch 10 liter?...?
That's a great queston and I hope to fully address it in Sundays video. The second part to this video, giving the total cost of a pint. About 4.5kg of grain but yes a full brew in the kettle. I've just bottled it and have 42 500ml bottles. Oh... and it tastes 👍
I imagine ('m not qualified) that a more powerful element wouldn't make much difference to the amount/cost of electricity. The 6 kW element would just get you up to temperature faster, and once there, if well regulated, will use the same average power as a 3 kW element ... If I'm wrong i hope someone tells me...
@@Wrongald You are correct. My 6Kw elements get me to Strike and Boil temps quite readily…my system is really quite efficient and operates under a PID so during the boil, I hover around 45-50% power and attain a still, most rigorous boil. My original comment is tongue in cheek - though I still don’t wish to know the cost !!!! Lol.
