Good luck Phil.

I am yet to experience the effects of our weather on ferments!!! Do you use a standard yeast (lowans) or something that can handle this kind of temp?

We got let off lightly compared to the south. While out for lunch though, their was a massive gust of wind sounded like a plane air braking but much louder, all of a sudden the umbrellas just disintegrated into bits then flew through the air like projectiles.. :wtf: My first response was to run over to where my four year old was looking off the deck ( on the second story) and grab the other one and drag them inside, which everyone followed soon after. :o :o :o :o

Well the weather is sure playing havoc with me getting my new power supply for that 3Kw element I got sitting here waiting to power my 200 litre mash tun I want to build and get going.

Paid for it about 6 weeks ago and everytime the seller has packed the truck for the drive to Brisbane to drop it off at the freight depot it has been bloody raining and cutting off access to the pacific Hwy. The first time my new power supply ended up in the shed kitchen to keep it out of the flood waters. Then Debbie comes along and the new power supply is loaded on the truck fully sealed with the others then several tarps are thrown over. The truck is parked in the shed and the water line stopped just shy of covering the truck wheels.

Got an email saying hopefully a week monday QLD should be open again so he will head up there with some 44 gal drums of clean diesel for the trip home as for sure water contamination would be at the pumps after the floods.

Anyway my new power supply a 16HP single cylinder Listeroid Diesel to spin that 5Kw generator head I got given for free as it didn't work ( a 12 volt battery soon fixed it :)) ).....

Yeah, she's coming up but we're used to it, most of the time, and this one especially it comes up so slowly that all those in the flood area are prepared, I'm personally well out of the flood area.
Just makes it a pain in the arse to get anywhere.
Don't believe all the hype the news feeds you, rocky is well used to this habit.
