Yeah I was looking at the same pumps awhile ago also and thought the same thing. -gav

That's a good idea about turning them on the end to drain I like that. The HERMS system I have in place at the moment thats the HERMS coin in the HLT that requires two pump to keep the HLT water consistent. so 1 recirculating the HLT water and 1 recirculating WORT. In future I'll be installing a...

Hanging out for sure, only waiting on a few things to come in now but hopefully they get here before the weekend so I can at least get my rig tested and all the dead zone and sight glasses worked out.. then to organise a brew! I've done a classy thing and zip tied my pumps to the stand :)...

Here is my wiring.... anyone notice anything obviously wrong.

So a small update, finished my wiring (Apart from one freaking wire I ran out of terminal lug) Elements coming in tomorrow/friday then I can get this bastard happening!!

Also found a statement about "You can't retrospectively get DIY electrical work certified even if its in 100% working order and to standard" looks like I'm going to have to chance it and just unplug it after every brew. -gav

Most of that is installing/relocating hard wired to mains units, with the exception of "or constructing an extension lead and replacing a plug on the end of a lead." But not worth the risk with young kids in the house, Think I best research getting a sparky to look at it. -gav

My mate went to Pirtek in Bendigo and got a manifold setup from there with awesome push fittings/small ball valves and some sweet looking black hose. When he had it connected up he could pull the hose anyway and pretty hard and no loss of gas. He had some cheap white and blue plastics fittings...

my fav bit of that is the bottle opener and catch tray.

When I started out in AG I got a cheap esky to be used as a mashtun and I found it could loose up to 5c over the hr mash and I had to put foil on the top of the mash to stop it leaking heat. It also depends on how full your esky is going to be. i.e. if you buy a huge esky and only do small brews...

was thinking the same thing..... should put a MASH count down timer on it to look like a bomb. -gav

wow that escalated quickly... Yeah thought I was going to have to ask my insurance company about it just thought someone else may have gone down this track already. -gav

Hi All, Just coming to the end of my build of my new brew controller and had an interesting conversion with a mate about connecting non electrical certified units in the house hold. Boils down to, if you have a claim and they find you've got your DIY Control panel connected that's not tagged...

Yeah thats the ones... I saw they 16A later too.. IP20 isn't much chop I guess I could put them on the bottom of my panel and it should be fine, but not mounting on element guard which what I was thinking. -gav

only thing i see is the blue ones don't have a IP rating the yellow ones are IP67 -gav

They're great looking... might have to get a couple just to have a look at them. -gav

Mine will be mounted behind the pots and I like the idea of them at least being splash proof..

They look nice and cheap :) IP44 which is probably all I need also.. may have to settle for a set of them pending budget.. -gav

just two sets.

Looks like that's the going rate for the plugs, Guess I'll just have to put it in the 2nd stage of the brewery build. cheers
