ive got my 462 then i started building a drag car, haven't got into running anything yet but will soon. let me know how you go if you get it.

Im waiting for my 462 to turn up in the post, can anyone tell me if it is possible to get a water level measument or volume to feed back into it? I was thinking a pressure transducer on my HLT to give me a water volume or a flow meter on the fill line. This would then control the water supply...

Awesome Rig Duck, ive just ordered my BCS-462 today, Planning an automated 1V set up, hopefuly a bit more compact. I have all the gear now so i just need to go and build it. Ill give myself a decent time frame and aim to be drinking quality beer by the end of the year. So ill follow this thread...

Mate you've cracked it!!! thats exactly the way to make a temp right. fill it with glycol, recirc pump for the flooded font and stainless coils for the beer!!!

Yep they suck. I got one of those too thinking i only needed it to control the heating element in my mash, but it was crap because of the one degree thing too. I was putting up with it while i was running a brew for the first and then it let the magic smoke out. THE END. Dont feel bad eMPTy...

CoxR do know somewhere to get the mesh? preferably online? or does anyone else?

Nar the beer will still freeze and cause dramas, we messed around and managed to freeze the beer lines. (Could burst the exchanger) Bigger volume in the exchanger is the the solution. If its a stag party and only one day/night I would go with something like Buckerooni posted. The only reason...

I dont know foles, i kinda like the brewboss's DIY look. But if i could get a 50l grainfather for $1500 i would snap that up. The braumeister is just too pricy for one big lump of cash, i would never get that past SWMBO. She doesn't even drink so absolutely no understanding of the importance. I...

Yea Brutus im gonna hold off for bit, i've got a feeling that the USD is gonna get a little better soon. hopefully :unsure: . Ive ordered one of those controllers from Lael to get me brewing while I build my rig, figure i can build all the automated mechanical bits first and test it out manually...

Stux what did you make the plate from? Sorry just saw the link on the bottom, cheers

Ill have the last spot on the list if its still open Lael. Ive PM'd you. Cheers

Huh yea right! of course i will. This is after one of our better days, the beer tasted good that day.

So Few good setup's there. Only one crazy awesome rig i can see that is not ice dependent posted by nvs-brew's. After yob mentioned it a plate chiller would probably work alright :huh: perhaps sit it in a little water bath in the bottom of the fridge then plumb it up as a dual pass. Might be a...

Nar its aluminium pressed and folded plates. like i said on a budget.

Just thought i would share this. Last year my dad and myself did quite a bit of prospecting in outback WA. We were usually away for a minimum of 2 weeks just relying on solar to charge the metal detectors and keep the beer cold. Well, we came up with this idea, keeping the beer cold and leaving...
