      Hi there, Can you guys recommend a good sanitation product I can get in SA. I am using Milton (I have a few little ones running around) at the moment but not sure if that is an acceptableprodusct to use when sanitising my equipment. I would appreciate your comments on that one.
      
      Cheers

      Hi
      
      I have a old fridge that I want to convert to ferment in,
      
      The fridge has a Ranco K59 L1035 thermostat in it

      I have purchased a cold room thermostat model F2000 -35 to +35 Degrees C. (unfortunately the digital versions are hard to come by here and extremely expensive to import)

      The question is can I replace the current thermostat with the new one or would it be easier to create a external plug to control the switching on and off of the fridge.
      
      The...

   3. Boil question

      I have recently joined the group and slowly been studing all the info, I have gathered the equipment I need but have only been able to obtain a 11 liter pot, will do a 10 liter MaxiBIAB as my first attempt on a Pale Ale.
      
      I have completed a test boil and noticed that if I leave the lid off my pot I don't get a good rolling boil. If I leave the lid on then the boil is a good rolling boil, otherwise I just have rising bubbles.
      
      I have tried my stove as well as a gas burner with the same effect...

      Thank you all for the responses,
      
      I have ordered a new gas burner like the one below

      Stock pots of that size are not commonly available in South Africa, I can order one from a catering company but the cost is not worth it,
      
      Commonly available are stew pots, which are shorter and have a larger diameter (not sure if these will work)

      The 11 liter pot is very thin walled and it seems to lose heat quickly.
      
      Thanks
