i have a cross hatch pattern on mine (45mm roller) its farily light, and ive found by turning the other roller the malt draws fine, however if only one roller is turning it will struggle to suck it threw, im thinking of putting a rubberband around one to add sort of a passive drive to the other...

tell me about it i have been puting off buying malt, now i will again have to get some

Bad News guys They are out of stock of some of the malts, could be the end of July before the pickup is performed please PM or post if you have any concerns, need to make changes etc etc I tried to elevate the problem by doing a pick up in two diffent locations, (far west suburbs and then far...

No i didnt actully, i will have to try that tonight, i will l put some 70deg water in there and give it a taste, thanks for the feedback

Ok have recived a reply from bunnings saying that the buckets are not food grade and that they sell 20L food grade buckets for $9.95 Im not sure if they based this information just on the labels of there containers. So use these buckets at you own risk, they are PP plastic so they will...

Cheer BJ, links didnt come through but im sure if anyone want to go this way it will be easier than muliple pots on the stove, the one thing i didnt promise about the $10 dollar method is the time it will take This will be time consuming, but it will be cheap and hopfully produce a reasonble...

Problem is with 18l of space for the mash, i will strugle to get it high enought to be able to water down, any help would be great here though

PJ I have a 50l and 3 ring burner sitting here (read first post), im trying to do this so as others can follow it, i need not to be relying on second had gear. Im going to try and get this to happen on the stove with pots you should already have, but im slowly thinking i may end up having to...

being PP im hoping these buckets will be ok, as i said as long as they havent used bad recyled plastic or used a bad dye they will be fine as they are PP(rated to 120degC) edit: realy bad spelling

Yep PJ If the guys that are attempting this can get there hands on the 20l white style buckets by all means do it im actully having problems working out a way to get 30 or so litres of stuff to boil at the moment with only $4 left, but i will get there I am trying not to rely on the get this...

Edit made to original post to show completed mash/lauter tun, i tested this with plain water and found a loss in temp of around 2 degs over 30mins

Edits made to original post to show thermometer

Good news, i went and checked the bucket and they are made out of PP (the trangle symbol and the 5), there should be no reason why these cant be food grade, (its only the dye or if its recycled that may stop it), i have found a thermometer for $2.00 from a two dollar shop its range is 60-88 and...

I think i remember one of his post saying it maybe but its not the recomended method

Look i will try and pickup some of the white buckets as well today and show how to make them for guys wanting to spend a little more. I will keep going and im currently finding out about the plastics (these buckets are made in NZ so should be able to get a definative awnser) to be honest im...

Very True

Yep, the triangle with a 2 inside it, however this only tells of the plastic type and not if it has been recycled, apparently it has to be a certain range of plastic types, be non-recycled and not have bad chemicals in the dye (black is the only color that seems a problem), i will keep...

I am actully doing some recherch atm and am trying to find the manufacture of the buckets, the funny thing is most food grade plastics are pourous (spelling)

dicko, point well taken I will continue on anyway with a disclamer, ive come this far, im not sure what these buckets are made out of as it doesnt say.
