Tank's on...

...yeah, been on now for 30 minutes - up to 46.6 degrees (C).
I've got 12 bottles of water, 1 raised test bottle with the thermometer probe wedged in so as to read the temp at the centre of the bottle and I got 1 bottle of capped batch 5 cider (that I already know has developed quite a bit of condition)
Note the weighted lid - that's 6 tins of cat food in a mushroom tray...
Nervous? I'm expecting the whole thing to go "BANG" at any minute!
See, she's up to 50 degrees now....



You know when you see things on telly where they say 'don't try this at home'..?

55 mins now 59.8... don't think that the thermostat is helping as the sensor is clamped to the underside of the tank and is cycling on and off. Though this is ensuring steady rise and allowing for the whole tank to sit at a mnore even temperature.
61.4... 58 mins now
