Just received my 3D Crankandstein from the USA, landed to my door for $330. Including 1/2' drive shaft and stainless steel rollers. Mill took only 9 days from ordering, I have not given it a run yet as I am making a hopper and base for it. Bargain at the price compared to buying it in Sunny...

How about another one. I tried this a couple of months ago turned out great pale ale Dry hopped with 25 grams of Cascade in secondary. Used safale yeast. It was ready to drink in two weeks after bottling Regard Blue

If you build it they will come! Regards Blue

Soft solder has lead in it I think, Silver solder has a % of silver. Yellow tip 2%, Brown 15% and Blue 45% The higher the % the easier it is to weld. A Stick should range from $3 to $7.(R.R.P) Just clean the copper with a Scotch Brite pad and away you go. You will need flux for brass...

To answer your question NO! By lying the freezer on its side you would have the compressor on it's side too..The compressor has oil in the bottom of it to lubricate it. This oil would run out and you would seize it. Also with the compressor it is mounted internally with springs inside, this...

I would have to agree with Wortgames. Being a refrigeration mechanic and doing Heat load calculations, glass door on a cool room can be up to 600 watts of load per door verses an solid insulated door. Stoping and radiant or conduction of heat in to any fridge would be a great help. Remember...

My brewer name is. BLUE DOG MALT BREWERY. Named after my dog. A black 2 year old kelpie X Border collie. Got his name blue dog when my wife gave him to me for xmas. He had a blue collar on.

Just a thoght, I don't know if there would be enough yeast still active to prime the bottles????? Regards Blue

Does this fridgey actually have a ticket? I do have a ticket and have worked in the industry for some 11 years. Putting R22 into a low back pressure compressor is some thing not recommended. R22 normaly runs on Air/Con but is used in some refrig applecations desiged for its use. Hey with the...

G'Day Kirem I am a Fridge mechanic by day and a brewer by night. To confirm with Timmy on the delay. Yes a solid state relay does not like to switch on and off to much. Very unlikly you would have this type in a commercial style fridge. Unless the compressor is a Danfoss make. As for the...

We also have one of these down my way. Had a look at the setup awhile ago nothing special. Know a few people that have used them, and tried some of them. Alot taste the same. Every one I have talked to have no interest in seting up in the garage to home brew them selfs(NO MESS NO FUSS) Plus...

G'Day Valcono Looking at doing a similar type of thing at home. Glycol systems work by refrigerating Glycol in a tank. This tank normal cycles at -2c to -1c. The kegs are normaly refrigerated and can be as warm as 10c. So if you where to put the gylcol in the freezer and have your kegs in...

I have sampled the Bintara brewery too last time I passed throught Rutherglen. I found that most had a very strong hops flovour. Nice body and mouth feel, but thought that the pale ale, larger and wheat started to taste the same. :( I was disapointed and most likely will not be purchasing...

G'Day all I have just bottled a german larger(Malt extract). Basicly just put every thing in the stock pot and boiled for an hour and steeped the finishing hops. Cooled wort to 20C in about 40 mins and fermented with a saflarger and 12c for 3 week Bottled it last night after getting home from...
