Hi Folks,
Recently bought a GD125 the 2 door Grand Deluxe Kegerator from KegKing.
I have it set at 2.5c.
It takes 3 minutes for the unit to climb up to 7.5c and about 3 minutes to get back down to 2.5c.
Compressor cycling every 3 minutes wouldn't be doing the unit or the bills any good!

Hi Folks,
A mate of mine is looking to go BIAB and has found a cheap URN on eBay.
It's 48L with an exposed element. Doesn't look as good a build quality as the Crown or Birko options.
Does anyone have experience with this unit...
Hi Folks,
I have recently upgraded from my Crown Urn and built a 70L kettle for BIAB.
As I no longer have my sight glass for volume measurement I now use a steel ruler.
I'm trying to calibrate beersmith for use with the new equipment.
I always do a mash out and then hang the bag while the...
My main concern was the earth wire which is connected to the hot aluminium. I couldn't get the plastic cable glands to fit so I used metal ones. Of course they get hot too! The live and neutral seem cool in comparison!

Fat ******* I may take you up on that offer mate if I get stuck thank you.
I'll call a few metal fabricators tomorrow. I'm in lower blue mountains there must be somebody nearby who can do the job for me before I **** it up more...
Unfortunately I can't pick another spot as I'm committed now! I did use cutting oil just a tad ambitious on the last home.... Sigh..
So no holesaw will cut it now?
May have to seek professional help! ;)

Hi Folks,
Started drilling some 16mm holes in my stainless stock pot tonight.
All went well except for hole number 4. The last hole!
When drilling the last hole I was the hole saw must have been too hot and it flattened the teeth.
So I went out and bought a cobalt 16mm hole saw which at...
Interesting. As you say most of the brew day is thumb twiddling.
This process would be ideal for utilising the waiting time and give another batch.
One of the things I also wanted to achieve was experimenting with split batches for different yeasts and different hops for cube hopping.
