You could always isolate the hose at the low end when you finish pumping, switch off the pump, then raise the hose up to get it to drain through into the fermenter.... you would have to let some air in to break the vacuum, but it could be done. Or you could do what the petroleum boys do, and...

I placed an order with B3 last week.... hopefully arriving in the next couple of days, and hopefully with a nice printed catalogue for me :) dreamboat

I am looking to bid (have already done so) and caboolture is only 30 mins north for me..... If you have no joy elsewhere, I will be able to help you out. dreamboat

If you are in, and we can get to say a minimum of 6, then it will be a go. dreamboat

All values picked from Efunda.com Copper, Thermal Conductivity = 401 W/m-K (at 25C) Copper, Thermal Conductivity = 393 W/m-K (at 125C) 316 S/S, 16.2 W/m-K (at 100C) Water, 0.607 W/m-K (at 25C) We can assume that the conductivity of the stainless will also be slightly reduced at higher...

Wow.... thermal conductivity of S/S is approximately 1/30th of that of copper! Far more effort will need to be put in to see if this has any practical effect through a wall thickness of less than a mm... and even more importantly, how this compares with the conductivity of water (wort). It may...

For $90 each, I can get as many or as few as are required. Just a bit of stuffing around for me to pick up and one a week for the rest of my life. If there is interest in some more, maybe another mini-bilk-buy... and with the interest, we could close up in a week, and still get half a dozen or...

Hi all, Following the recent purchase of Temp Controllers (thanks to me), I am selling the ones which I was intending to use, but got out of as I would then have three different systems to remember.... I would have offered them here first, but I felt guilty as I got this one (and the next one...

IBU is a mathematical calculation, and by no means indicative of how bitter a beer will taste. A light, pale beer may taste quite bitter at 30IBU, whilst a 10% abv Imperial Stout at 80+ IBU will likely still taste sweet. I have seen a chart somewhere which shows something about this, but I...

Many thumbs PoMo???? Hopefully no more than two ;) dreamboat

33.77 first go..... and I still got called a Muppett!! dreamboat

Have you sorted this out BrissyBrew? Let me know if it is still not working, and I will hunt through the manual, and have a play with one here, and see if I can get some idea. dreamboat

I am with WillM on this one.... scrap the malto dextrin I would do a boil as big as you can (up to 6 or 8 lires if possible) with the unhopped extract and the hops - and I would split the bag, say 10g for 60mins, and the other 10 at 10 mins. Use this hot liquid to thoroughly dissolve your kit...

I think there is somewhere in Promash where you can choose the formula to be used for calculating the IBU's. I have not ever used Beersmith, but I would suspect that you have the same control with that program also. If they are both using the same formulae and you still get different values i...

Just got this on the email.... go to google.com, or google.com.au type in the word faliure hit the "i'm feeling lucky" button rather than the search button. dreamboat

Andrew - I can get more of the same Dixell controllers, as many as I want, for $90 each which is still not a bad buy. However, if I were you, I would try to make the one that you already have work first. Even if you don't end up using it on your element, it can alway be put to good use down...

My suspicion is that the 0-10V output will be difficult to use, unless you put another device in-line to convert that to a switched output. For basic control of your heating element, I would RTFM and see what you can get the alarm output to do for you.... it may be a bit of a pita to set up...

Same probe, just referring to the way in which it is or may be used. The response time of the probe is actually the same, but in your fermenter, it will not respond as quickly as the temperature of 20+ litres of beer must change before the probe will register that change, which obviously takes...

Congrats Jason.... hope all goes well. Don't listen to all this talk of lack of sleep, it is only an occasional event, even when they are very little, so just go with the flow, and catch up when you can. dreamboat

Try giving BOC a call, the gauges that they put on their reg's are cheap, and they will sell them as parts. dreamboat
