    Keg bulk buy

    I would be keen on at least 3 * AEB kegs. If we are close to the minimum order then I might increase the order. Are the AEB kegs in lots of 15 or is that just the minimum? What is the quality like for the 19l Kegking kegs? If the quality is good then I would be after a few as well, subject to...

    Braumeister NEXTGEN Build

    Yes, they have all the mounting kit at both ends of the element. Note that mine were the 2600mm 3000Watt elements so you would need 15Amp power and your normal power point would not suffice. Regards Roland

    Braumeister NEXTGEN Build

    That doesn't sound right, unless you are getting some very different elements to the ones I purchased or there was a very big increase since I purchased mine. I purchased two 3000W elements from them in August and they were $102+GST each for bendable elements. They bent the ends free of charge...

    Melbourne: Grain Bulk Buy September 2013

    I am interested as well as I noticed this bulk buy a touch too late :-(

    Fix a Fridge that is ? Dead

    If it was a reasonably modern fridge with automatic Defrost then I would put a bit of money on the fact that the defrost element is buggered. I have two Westinghouse fridges, different models but both which were marked as automatic defrost / frost free and the defrost element went in both of...

    New Fermenter Tap and Bottle Filler

    It looks like it will last you for quite some time. I wouldn't be so worried about the cleaning of it as the beer going through it should be pretty easy to clean out. I would be more concerned about the fact that it won't automatically stop the flow when you have filled a bottle which is a...

    SS Conical Fermenter users: Good, Bad and the ugly? Do tell...

    I have a 46 liter stainless conical fermenter for about 8 years and it is a great bit of kit. Not sure how frequently some folks change their plastic fermenters but these things are for life. I used to do homebrew in the 80's with the kit fermenters and a couple of decades later when I decided...

    False bottom pick up tube

    I used to have the Beerbelly setup and it worked fine. I then moved to a larger mash tun and bought a US based false bottom as per the one in the video. I have only done one brew with the new setup and the efficiencies looked close enough to be identical to the previous mash tun / false...

    Installing a DS18B20 inside a thermowell?

    Thermal paste is not overly great at conducting heat, however it is much better than air. The reason you are supposed to put it on as thinly as possible on CPU heatsinks is for it to fill in the tiny manufacturing indentations on the CPU and heatsink. For CPU's and other electronic equipment...

    200lt Nano Brewery

    If you are looking at getting into the brewing business, I can recommend reading Berwing up a Business by Sam Calagione and the Brewers Association's guide on Starting your own brewery. Brewing up a business was good, but I found to Starting Your Own Brewery better as it was more generic. They...

    Help planning a 120L System

    Another option in terms of the larger vessels is to import one at a time via one of the re-direction services. The Blichmann gear is manufactured really well, has a very good quality thermometer, 3 piece ball valve and borosilicate glass level gauge. If you added that to a locally manufactured...

    Insulating Cast Iron Burner

    I found that by using a cement sheet over the tiles and a highly reflective stainless sheet on top of the cement sheet, I can bring 50 liters to a boil without any adverse effects on the tiles. The tiles around the reflective sheet get hotter than tiles directly under the cement sheet /...

    Over the side element

    I am pretty sure it is not since the voltage is too close to our voltage :-) In the US, you would double the amperage for the same given wattage but Europe it is pretty similar. The voltage in most of Europe is between 220-230Volts, so the amperage for 3200 Watt doesn't change that much as your...

    frozen kegs again

    Assuming it was set to 8 degrees above and not below zero, I would check the STC by calibrating it with some ice cubes in water. While stirring it, the ice cubes bring the water down to pretty much zero degrees and it should be an accurate enough method to detect such wide deviations that you...

    Over the side element

    If it is a 3.2KW element it should only draw 13.4Amp which is fine if you have 15Amp circuits installed. If it draws 16Amp then it would be closer to 3840 Watt and you need a greater capacity circuit which might be more expensive to install. Another option is to put an element in each of the...

    Electricity/pump Box

    As Dent has already mentioned in his last point, I would worry about the temperature the pump gets up to in a confined space. Mine gets extremely hot even when just pumping 78 degree mash liquor and this is while it has plenty of cool air around it. With computers the issue with heat is that he...
