I am waiting for delivery of my Tel Tru's from the US and have decided to postpone my first AG until they are fitted...So...Looking for something to podge around with while I am waiting I have decided to have a go at a sight glass on the HLT. I have a basic idea of what fittings should be used...

Yupp, around $80 for the three of them shipped half way around the globe, it is a little disturbing to think that HB shops charge more than this for one of the buggers! Burn baby burn. :super:

I just paid for the three thermometers to be shipped by airmail from the US for $40 so that makes a grand total of $60US....Bargain!!! I have sent the seller an email asking if he has anymore of these for sale and will try to arrange a bulk buy for all those Brisbanites interested. AG is...

$19US for the three which is a very good buy by any standards, the stinger will be the postage, I have emailed the seller and asked for a price by airmail. If I manage to sell one to a fellow brewer here it should offset the cost a bit and also make someone else very happy. :super: 4 inch...

I think it is around 90 percent sure to be a stout because it will help hide my mistakes a bit better than a lager or lighter beer. I will bring 2 750's :super: I'm not sure if my licence will extend to a sleepover yet, I will consult the missus when the moment is right. :ph34r:

They have a dual scale on the face so they should keep me happy. :beerbang:

After contacting a seller on Ebay I have made a purchase of 3 Tel Tru thermometers. He had them up for sale at a very good price and I am just waiting on a shipping quote before I pay for them, there is a good chance I will be looking to offload one of them when they arrive at cost price so if...

I would like to try as many of your brews as possible, it will be a very merry Xmas. I have not got a clue what I will be adding to the case yet but whatever it is don't be too critical as I have not even fired up my AG setup in anger yet. :party: Maybe A Stout if no-one objects? :chug:

I did a test run today with my setup, heated 35L of water (Took around 15 minutes to 100C) and tested all the seals for leaks etc. I left the plain water in the esky for an hour and re-checked the heat it lost around 4C in the hour (Was 94C going in and 90C after an hour) but I think if there...

I get the basic idea here but fail to fully understand, I am sure I will be able to get there with this description though. I will print this out and take it to the plumbing supplies place and tell them what I want to do, I guess they will help out a bit. Cheers. :beerbang:

I have been checking out some thermometers on Ebay and have found some real bargains compared to the prices charged at Grain and Grape etc the problem with this one is there is no threaded piece on the back to attach a nut to from the inside of the keg. Would it be possible to solder one on or...

Yes I am still using the elcheapo plastic fermenter for now but have been looking for a reasonably priced glass carboy, they are a little expensive compared to plastic but it is the way I am headed, once I get one I will re adjust my height settings on the stand, that is the thing with dexion...

Alas it is half price because he bought 2 for $30 :P

I had a bit of a tinker with my stand today, also fitted taps to the mash tun (Esky) and my second keg. I did a trial run with plain cold water to check for leaks and make sure things go as planned, it worked like a dream. all I need to do now is clean the kegs out before I use them and get on...

Anyone after a 2A Crankandstein? $10 cheaper than the website too! If I had not just ordered mine..... <_< http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...item=6195561615

I don't know if it would work but I have been toying with the idea of using an electric kettle element or maybe 2 to bring the sparge water up to temp. I was going to buy an elcheapo kettle from BigW or similar and take it to bits and see how it goes, could this work? This could be a cheap way...

I originally had the HLT right up at the top of the stand but the height was intimidating, I made this modification to see how it looks but you are probably right about the headspace. I am also worried about the steam condensing and dripping back into the kettle taking all sorts back with it...

Ah, thanks for putting the pic up. :super: I got the kegs from a job I did for an old biddy round my way, she had them sitting in her shed and when I spotted them asked for them as part payment but she insisted that I take them for nowt! RESULT. :super: They look a bit beaten up on the...

Ok, after the huge build up I hope it is worth it. :ph34r: This is still a work in progress, it will hopefully be finished tomorrow, I still need to make a shelf for my NASA below the HLT and something for the esky to sit on, it is sitting on a cut off from a 44 gallon drum in the photo that...

Warren, if you want to see my brewstand just have a look at yours...It is a blatant copy. I got the Dexion from a mate of a mate who works for someone who knew someone who works in a factory that was getting rid of a load of the stuff so I snapped up enough to build my frame for $100 with a few...
