Haven't heard of that brand, but Constante imports on Bell St have some brilliant electric tomato machines. We're upping from 180 to 260kgs this year and are just using the classic old pressed steel hand crankers. Couldn't believe it when they got through the 180kgs without breaking last year...

That's an over generalizing xenophobic post if ever I've read one. I actually agree that we do need to pay attention and care to whether these pumps are fit for pumping boiling wort. But we are the consumer here and we get to make our own choice. I work very closely with a company in China and...

Man I wish mine would last anything like that long. Main problem for me seems to be oxidation - anything older than a few months is just ruined. If yours aren't oxidised; and they're stored in the dark and at a stable, appropriate temperature then who knows how long they'd last. I suspect if...

Just read this thread from start to finish. Very, very, very informative; and perfect timing for me as I set up my brewspace. Well done to you Big Nath for persisting and to everyone else for being so helpful. Looking forward to the final build!

Thanks Stux - yes, I've a mix of 30L and 60L fermenters so sink will definitely be big enough for them.

Excellent - thanks for all the advice guys. I like the idea of washing them upright with the use of a flexi hose - will go with that. Will post some photos when I'm done - still can't quite believe that I have a brew space to fit out! Cheers Breezy

Hi All, I'm fitting out my new brewspace and am chasing a sink at the moment. Ideally I'm after a 2nd hand commercial jobby combined with a bench. I'm trying to get one with a bowl longer than 650mm so that I can lay my (future) corny kegs down in it to soak them if necessary. Having done a...

Hi Guys, I gave almost all my bottles away on here a few months ago in readiness for a switch to kegging. But our big tomato sauce bottling day is this Saturday and we've changed our method this year to use ... beer bottles. Has anyone got any crates of non-twist top beer bottles they can...

Hi All, These bottles will go to the kerb-side on Sunday evening. All washed and sorted; although the Sam Smiths and Emersons have been waiting outside for a failed pick up for some time now. PM me for pickup address. Cheers Breezy

Pint bottles going down a hill. Others still here.

Hi Guys, Also going is our custom Big Blue Bitches Brewery Beer Bottle Beautifying Barrel. With stand. We filled it full of even the most disgusting bottles and then then on brew night ran the hot water from our plate chiller into it and dosed it big with napi-san. Come bottling night two...

Hi Guys, Just starting to get the shed packed up ready for the big reno. There's a keg-enabled-brew-space in the reno plans, so I've got a bunch of bottles that need to go. They've all been washed in napi-san and sorted into milk crates; but have been gathering dust for 6 months or so: Green...

Hi Pennywise, You would be acting eponymously to carefully compare the prices on Allquip with those of Beerbelly. I spent a lot of time looking at both sites before choosing Beerbelly for my (Robinox) stainless pot. I think Wayne includes tax on his prices and Allquip doesn't; he was either...

Yes, just discovered them this morning at http://www.costanteimports.com/product.php...p;category_id=4 - which seems like a great place for a visit before my next Tomato Sauce bottling day:)

Yes, the welds are what worries me. The one on eBay declares tig welds and a seamless interior - but who knows. Interesting that the UK homebrewers are onto them BribieG.

Well I don't want to wander off-topic here into a slanging match of plastic vs stainless steel vs aluminium etc. But IMHO it would certainly be nicer to be fermenting in stainless steel than plastic if the price is right. So, while I wouldn't be shelling out $700+ for a stainless conical...

Hi All, Doing a lot of browsing for affordable stainless steel fermenting options at the moment; and just discovered the 'fusti'. http://www.oliveoilsource.com/content/stai...spigot-30-liter http://cgi.ebay.com/25-Liter-5-gal-Wine-Oi...i-/130407518137 They seem to me to be a pretty good...

Hey Guys, Thanks for all the good info. I've got lots of options to choose from now:) Cheers Mike

Hi All, At D&G's G&G BIAB demo a few weeks ago, there was a discussion around using an aquarium heater for keeping ferment temps high enough during cold conditions. Dan, I thought I heard you say that you use an aquarium heater and that you just submerge it in your fermenter. Is that right...

Rollers getting stuck? Try one of these: http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/watch?v=Aja7gcgRMJU Wouldn't like to be crank it by hand though... Breezy
