All cool, yes, its a bit of messing around to do custom stuff, and thats why it costs more. At 10c each, it works out to be charging the Laser machine out, including operator labour at $40 per hour, which is not possible in the long term. If it was just some generic designs that we could run...

I like you crane :)

Caps might eventually rust, not sure, in my shed they arent around long enough to rust :) here's a famous one knocked up in a hurry...

I did the design on those, you can basically do any design you want, as long as its in black and white, the black areas are etched off. Too much detail wont show in such a small area. They are etched in my laser machine at work.

Machine can fit 200 caps in one run. Each run of 200 caps takes approx 1/2 to 3/4 hour to do red or grey caps, and 1 hour to do 200 black caps (run thru twice). I would say the very best price you would be looking at is... 20c each for 1000 red or grey caps. 24c each for 600 red or grey caps...

Is this the sort of thing you're looking for ? :)

Will try some different coloured caps in our laser tomorrow and post some pics. Can also make stamps if thats your choice.

yep, that would work, but what actually attaches to the fermeter to lift it ? i was thinking of making up some sort of strap thingy to wrap around and underneath, with some lifting loops on it, so might set about designing my own 'strap-on' :)

So presuming you sort out a winch, what method would you use to attach it to the fermenter ? I have thought about making some sort of pole with a chain in the middle, and a winch handle so thAt when you totate the handle, one side platfor goes up and other side goes down. That would be useful...

I havent noticed any real difference in flavour in brews since I've recently started skimming, so I dont think there is a relly big difference. Skimming really does seem to prevent boilovers, I get no buildup of the froth at all when I skim. Sometimes when I see a dark film on the froth...

Tony, this may be a dumb question mate, but are you saying you are only doing a 40 minute boil, or just add hops at 40 in a 60 minute boil ? sorry again of its a dumb question, but I've just never heard of a boil under 60 mins and I want to make this asap. cheers, Happy easter everyone.

I used a 36 Litre stainless pot and gas burner initially, and it was fine... BUT... I now use an exposed element 40 Litre Birko electric urn for BIAB, and have never looked back. I wouldnt go gas if I were you, especially if you are doing BIAB, because if you ever get to controlling the temp...

I have never looked at the water side closely, but would like to after reading this thread. When you wise people do your PH measurements, roughly how much would the PH drop pre and post mash, without using additives for PH corection. Say when doing a light Ale with no dark grains and using...

QUOTE> "But do those greeblies have any effect on the brew? Bacteria, wild yeasts etc?" I would imagine they are all 'NUKED' when you boil for at least an hour. I use rainwater too, and cant say its ever caused a problem. I use starsan so that I dont have to rinse anything and all has been OK...

It would be a positive move I reckon to change the 'anonymous' status of anyone rating other forum members recipes. We also all need to consider before rating a recipe, that its maybe going to be slightly different on different brew rigs, and things such as cleanliness and temp control etc etc...
