Burton Snatch Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yes, it's all over the news here in W.A. Maybe Victoria and Tasmania are next? I have a dream to disconnect from the electricity grid, and have a few friends which have on rural properties due to the cost outweighing grid connection costs. Might be a market for a stand alone system which would see home brewers see out the storm!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graculus Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hope you guys get your power back on soon. A couple of times when we've had bad storms here we had no power for three days each time. When that happens you realise that what you pay for electricity per day and what it does makes it rather good value for money actually. I've got solar panels that feed back into the grid. I'm keeping my eye on the price of the batteries though. When they're a reasonable price I'll be buying. I'll probably add extra panels to the roof too.

joolbag Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Good to hear you guys are back with power. How's the brews? Did you lose any food to spoilage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaffeinatedSentryGnome Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 There are still places without power. I think my brews are ok. The 2 pilsners got up to around 16c but it was only 14c outside so i just opened the fridge door. The hop slam us got up to 22ish so i did the same. The ginger beer seemed to stay around 20c but its been making huge bubbles in the fv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
