Usually thicker bases on reputable pots are there to distribute heat more evenly so you don't get hot spots where the flame hits the base. Cheaper imports want to look more like more reputable pots which is why they add such a layer, however sometimes depending on the type of glue they use, it...

While a larger copper coil will get you warmer water exiting the HEX coil than the current coil, I am not sure if your element is going to keep up, especially if the difference in temperature is too much. I did some testing a while ago and with a modern 2000W insulated kettle boiling about 1.9L...

While I am not an expert in this field and while it might be a bit late for you given you were going to rack in the afternoon, here is my 20c worth. I would expect that your best option would have been to take some yeast at the height of the fermentation when yeast is most viable. At that...

I assume that you are talking about the thermostat dying rather than the fridge. I would expect that it depends on how it fails. If it fails in way that leaves the fridge thinking the temperature is too high and it has to cool, then your digital thermostat that controls power to the fridge...

At a minimum, I would be keen for the following: 1 * 5 liter Combo 2 * 2 liter kegs 2 * 5 liter keg

Yes, I had the Crankandstein 3D which never missed a beat. I then traded up to a 320D which I purchased second hand (so no history on how much grain was put through it) and that had similar issues. When I contacted Crankandstein I was told that most often this is due to the two plates being...

Yes, I am still in.

If you have a closer look at your unit, you will notice that the bearings are off centred and need to be turned in place to adjust the distance of that roller from the other fixed roller. Unless there is another countersunk bolt in on the right side edge which I can't see, you will need to...

Fully agree with what Glen W wrote. In addition it is worth considering that Copper is much easier to bend than stainless so if you are looking to bend your own immersion chiller, copper is pretty much the only choice. Copper will also tarnish over time so if you don't brew regularly you may...

Without knowing how many kegs you went or what your carbonation levels were, it is a bit difficult to provide an estimate of what you should have consumed. I found a reference that indicated 75 grams per CO2 for force carbonation at 2 Volumes of CO2. If you were doing Wheat beers, you might...

I would expect you have a leak somewhere. I know that force carbonation takes more CO2 than to dispense, however from a previous thread here it appears that you need between 32 and 48 grams to push out 18 liters of beer. So for 3 kegs that is a maximum of 150 grams...

I am not sure but it doesn't sound right if you are measuring such high resistance but then I don't have much experience on exactly how these dry boil sensors work. The picture makes the wires look charred so you really need to get this looked at by someone who is qualified. Saving a few $$$'s...

That looks like the contacts on the dry boil cut off are charred. That is not normal and it might be that the dry boil thermostat got too hot - It lets the current through to the element when it has a temperature below its rated threshold. If you use your Ohm setting on the multimeter accross...

I am keen on 2 * Victoria hops as my last attempts were sabotaged by my dog. Can you either confirm that your details are still correct or PM me the new details and I will wire the funds through. Thanks Roller

While I can't provide you with the answer you were after as I am not sure how thick it is, I did notice that the handles were welded on. With that in mind, I suspect it is thick enough for someone skilled at welding to be able to weld fittings onto the pot. Perhaps send the question through to...

I tried drying a genuine Erlenmeyer Flask once to add DME via my stove and it cracked. Since that experiment, I ensure that I let the flasks dry naturally and I only apply heat when there is liquid in the flask. I am sure a gauze mat would have dispersed the heat better so while I haven't...
