Hi, Would you recommend this product or it's more-premium counterpart suitable for whirlpooling/aerating your wort: Basic Stainless Steel Drill Powered Mash Stirrer & Mixer - 1/4 Inch Hex Drive or would you say something more purpose-specific for aeration/whirlpooling would work better (i.e...

Great to know. Just to confirm, each outlet can handle 2400w, so a 2200w element is fine in the heating plug as opposed to 1200w each plug?

That just tells me it can turn off and on a heating pad and a fridge -- I want to know if it's a suitable, good choice to control an element for mashing and boiling; i.e, if it's a similar controller to what's in the BrewZilla.

Is the RAPT temp controller (regular 10a version) able/suitable to act as a controller for a 2200 watt element for step mashing/boil in the way something like the Brewzilla or a PID controller does? I can’t find much info about it being used to control elements for mashes and boils but it is...

Not sure what you mean. Got a pic of a setup like that? I know dust washes off but I want to wash my bottles after use, cover the tops with some foil and then just sanitise them when ready to use. It's a convenience thing.

I find the issue with beer boxes is that they open from the sides, plus you can't just buy replacement ones. I am looking at some kind of suitably-sized packing boxes though. I figure if I can find a good size it'd work much the same as boxes for slabs but open from the top. Ideally I'd like to...

I know it's been discussed on here before, but I've scoured all the threads and not found a good solution for bottle storage. I know some people mention milk crates, but I've decided with my empties being stored in the shed, they just get too dusty, so I'm looking for something that can close...

Ah, yep, I follow you. That sort of setup does look good. Very handy diagram for people who wanna go that route. I did consider some sort of co2 injection as it starts to vacuum, but honestly what you describe sounds way more complicated than what I'm setting up (plus I don't keg beer so I have...

Yeah, that kind of basic balloon setup you mention is basically how this would work but without needing a second hole for it. What do you use to zap co2 into each bottles?

That doesn't sound easier to me at all, and your instructions are very confusing. I mostly just want to know if the parts I linked are the equivalent to the parts he uses in the video, plus some help tracking down some of the stuff he uses I can't find.

I just mean to say in the event it did need to suck up more than say 3 litres worth of co2 (which from everything i’ve heard would be very unlikely), it wouldn’t be able to just suck back up the sanitiser. I don’t want to create a vacuum on purpose, just that that’s preferable to suckback of...

I think the one-way valve would just create a vacuum in that case

Might be a bit big by the looks of it, but I wonder if that cap would fit a smaller bag, because that would save a lot of hassle having the tap already on the cap

I've been looking at rigging something up to protect from oxygen for cold crashing. I know some people just tie a little mylar balloon to a tube or something similar, but I'm looking to rig up something like the cold crash guardian. I came across this video which basically replicates one: The...

Has anyone used one of these? https://cheekypeakbrewery.com.au/nano-boss-touch-screen-pid-controller-voltage-control-pump-control-wifi-integration-coming-soon/ I’ve been looking into ebiab controllers and so far that’s the only option (as a standalone controller rather than all-in-one system)...

Tri clover would be better, but it looks like a more difficult installation. For one, it looks like picking up a hole punch that size is a bit harder than 22mm or 32mm, and apparently that sized weldless part can be more prone to leaking?

Hi all, I'm considering adding a 2200w element to my 50 litre brew kettle which I use for BIAB. The kettle I have had a few 22mm holes predrilled for attachments, and so it also came with some plugs (https://cheekypeakbrewery.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/B8.jpg). For the element, I'd need...

In this case I think installing an element in my existing kettle will be cheapest and fairly straight forward, and I already have an element at my disposal. All I'd need is the hole punch and maybe a power controller. I think if I end up liking the electric setup I'd go for something like the...

No issues figuring out the calculations - my question is about the style and the level of carbonation appropriate to it.

I’m looking to turn my brew kettle electric (this one 50ltr NANO Brewery 304SS Brew Kettle, Triple Base Pot - Cheeky Peak Brewery) and looking at the 2200 wat element Kegland sells. It seems fairly straight forward, make a pilot hole and then get a 32mm hole punch you sell and that’s it? One...
