    So.. if you brew enough you could feed some cattle your spent grain... would make for tasty eating :) Unsure what Smiling Samoyed at Myponga do with all their spent grain, but might be worth a call if you have cattle. That's the best retirement that keg could dream of :) I'd bet it never had...

    dubber's double

    Not the greatest idea to be posting photos or discussions of how you've secured your garage door :) I'll PM you with what I did as a suggestion, allows simple open/unlock from inside and keeps the emergency release active.

    Glad to hear you're getting into homebrewing :) Check out http://www.brewadelaide.com/forum/ for an excellent local forum, and http://www.sabrew.com for a local homebrew club (Disclosure: I'm on the committee of SABC) I've got Chinook and Cascade growing here :) (and can I plug my homebrewing...

    Wouldn't bother with Arduino for that personally. RasPi has way more power than you will need for a security system with the convenience of Linux. Or if you need more GPIO pins a Beaglebone Black is probably a better choice.

    Are you going to race in the Pulsar series too? That looks like a great little series to be a part of.

    Old mate dropped around today to put the fluros in. What a difference! I knew it would be a decent change - but wow - it's actually nice and bright, and, useable! Before photo above, now: IMG_20141125_195437 by auvortex, on Flickr It's actually going to be a pleasure to work out there at night...

    Dropped into L&H a day or so ago looking for fluro's with 4 tubes. Unfortunately they're not available in a batten fix model. They are available only in, uh, I forget the name he called it but they're sunk into the ceiling. Not keen on going that far right now so the 4 x 2 tube 36W fluros will...

    Things got a little cramped last night. IMG_20141117_200531 by auvortex, on Flickr I have a few ideas about how I can do some more reorganisation to create some more space which I'll get to on the weekend. We have a sparky coming out on Tuesday next week to wire up 4 new fluro lights which...
