If you want a cheap pot or the budget is tight, large aluminim pots can be found in most asian varity stores. I'm in Melbourne & found my stainless steel pot in Footscray, but have also seen examples in Brunswick & Richmond. No doubt Springvale would be a good hunting ground too.

There is a guy on the US Brewboard who modified a SS conical to capture the CO2. http://www.brewboard.com/index.php?showtopic=7848&st=0 Warning! the thread is 39 pages long.

You could also tap the outer shell & circulate chilled water/glycol around the bladder for serving &/or fermenting. I like the look of these kegs, especially in the 30 litre size. They would suit my brew size well. It's only the start up price thats putting me off.

Re: Cube cleaning, I have a suspect cube at the moment. I can see a couple of black spots that haven't been removed by soaking in Napisan. Anyone got any other ideas?

They feel fairly thick. Thicker than the CUB 800ml types. I can drop you a sample if you like.

They are marked as "65cl" so I guess 650ml. They do look bigger & I first thought they were at least 750ml.

I have a large number of crown seal bottles availble for Melbourne homebrewers. A family member has the task of cleaning out a store room. There are two pallets of impoted beer, well out of date. The beer might not poison you but I wouldn't drink it. I'll swap either one bottle of your best...

I've picked up some of these today & there are plenty more to be had. PM for further details. :) See also - http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...st&p=214467

I've just got hold of a few doz crown seal long neck bottles & can get plenty more. If you're prepared to come & pick up some you even get the beer in them for free! Further on from this thread. http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...mp;#entry213915

Hey Pip How many bottles are you after? I have a lead on some out-of-date imported beer (Best before Oct 2000!) in brown 750ml crown seals. I'll be checking these out this weekend. I think they have a pallet load.

Hi TC, Are these http://www.ecokeg.com/index_new.html the kegs in question? $36 with or without bladder?

Thats what I thought. Everyone said "APA" then went off & thought of something else. I'll go with the Pale Ale that's fermenting now & keep the Stout for winter. :)

1. Peels Cream ale 2. DarkFaerytale - Smoked Ale????? 3. Lucas - Batz Altbier 4. Wardhog Brown Porter 5. Fents - IPA 6. Velophile - Stout or Pale Ale? 7. Thirsty Boy - Kolsch (or a Wit if the Kolsch goes pear shaped) 8. Andrei - Irish Dry Stout 9. Quintrex - Tripel 10. RobW - robust porter 11...

How did the ride go? I'm usually up for beer after a few hours on the bike.

Its the extra 10 to 15 litres more than a keg shaped HTL I'm after. I could have any number of 50 litre 'vessels' some legal, most not & there are a few 100 - 220 HDPE drums around but bugger all 60 - 70 litre ones. If I'm spending the time building a new HLT, I want it big enough to grow into.

I'm glad this swap has sparked off again. Either glass or PET is fine with me. It's great to get crownseal longies in a swap but not everyone has them. I think the Coopers PET could be used as a new swap standard? Only thing I would add to the 'rules' is labels. Could everyone please label...

What vessel is the HLT? Where do I find a SS 65 litre drum?

The stirrer motor is from a microwave oven, the carrousel motor. I plan to wire it in parallel to the element. So whatever controls the element will also power the stirrer. :) Mounted on the lid with a shaft & paddle down to just above the element.
