Dammit i knew i shoulda checked in on this earlier :-(

I recently got some 330L from bargain barrels in Brisbane, he did have some 50L there he made, but they are not cheap, they have to make them and it looks like a lot of work in them. Just get a 330 and brew more :-)

Where abouts are you? Just google switchboards and your are, or similar words. Might also need to find a sparky who likes beer to design it for you.

I am up for a kilo, on fone so can't update properly sorry. BTW BK, it is Mick here from the gold Club incase part of that 2kg was for me?

The other is The Gold Clubs club barrel project:-)

One of them is a group brew with 4 other mates, Monday we fire up Zorco's brew rig and brew up 330 odd litres of a Flanders red :-)

Picked up a couple of barrels this week :-) Was after 220s but ended up with 300/330 hogsheads :-)

i bought what looks like an identical one couple of weeks ago, 10 bucks on Fleabay Delivered in a couple of days only used once but seemed to work

Welcome mate, You will learn heaps from hear and as you go! If you have the spare room, keep an eye on Gumtree and the likes, especially after christmas people will start getting rid of that extra fridge :-) Set the fridge up with a temp controller and you have one of the biggest improvements...

one thing to keep in mind, as the Wort will stay hotter for longer after the boil, your flameout hops may end up giving more bitterness than they currently do. When i was No chilling i just moved all my hop additions 15-20 mins closer to the end of boil. Might be able to add the flameout hops...

I would def not try to get it back in, who knows what else is now breeding in that stuff!

Im in, will have a chat on the fone when we are both free.
