Spoils

Well we have just returned from Europe and found that a large painting fell and crashed behind our TV cracking open a home electricity network adapter (Think a big A/C looking adapter with a LAN cable connected into it). When the painting cracked open the device the power terminals were barely touching and caused a fault in the electrical system.

The safety switch in the circuit breaker box tripped and all electrical outlets lost power. Overhead lights or anything on a direct switch still worked.

Our fridges, however, are on outlet power so they lost power... Fast forward to the interesting stuff....

The beer and two meads are now ruined - I checked the temperature before throwing the switch back on and it was 31C!!!!! Damn all my insulation. Optimal temp is 18C.

So I am not going to even waste my time and try and 'hope' they come good over time, they have been sitting at this unacceptable high temperature for little under 2 weeks.

Good side of things, I get to brew again :)

crap mate, hope the TV ended up OK. Looks like the beer tasting will need to wait a couple of weeks.
