No tea today

[brewdexta]

This had to go in the brew room. The kitchen kettle packed in today, so the missus added it to the shopping list. In the mean time I have a Tesco own brand kettle in the brewery, so I thought I would get that for now.

I did think there was a funny smell in the brewery the day after I bottled my last brew, I never thought much of it until now. I noticed that the kettle was turned on with the neon glowing. The last time I used was during bottling the last beer about 4 to 5 weeks ago.

This is the result, I'm guessing that this happened quite soon after the last brew.

Looks normal.

However lift it off the base

And check underneath

The fuse hasn't blown and there is an RCD on that ring main and the element was no longer hot so must have failed at some point without going to earth, hopefully quite quickly to save my bill.

I would have thought that there would be some overheat protection.

In the 'olden days' there was a metal rod that pushed the plug out of the back of the kettle. Kettle plugs were round bodied then.

That'll polish out

I know you are a Yorkshireman but surely you don't mind putting water in it from time to time

Here's t'cup that is supposed to stereotype us Yorkshiremen, we are not like this at all, we are lovely and fluffy, generous souls, honest, we just genetically have short arms and we do like trousers with deep pockets. Or as they say in France "il a un hérisson dans sa poche"

You can always weld it up...
