Glenbrook NSW 2773. Its a lot of gear for the price.

Hi All, I am moving house and alas have to let go of some equipment. Main things are: 2 x heating/cooling fermentation fridges with temp control enough to have 3 active fermentations 100L insulated electric kettle 2 separate elements 15A with temp adjustment (fast controllable boil) Monster...

Hi Folks, Recently bought a GD125 the 2 door Grand Deluxe Kegerator from KegKing. I have it set at 2.5c. It takes 3 minutes for the unit to climb up to 7.5c and about 3 minutes to get back down to 2.5c. Compressor cycling every 3 minutes wouldn't be doing the unit or the bills any good! I...

Hi Folks, A mate of mine is looking to go BIAB and has found a cheap URN on eBay. It's 48L with an exposed element. Doesn't look as good a build quality as the Crown or Birko options. Does anyone have experience with this unit...

Hi Folks, I have recently upgraded from my Crown Urn and built a 70L kettle for BIAB. As I no longer have my sight glass for volume measurement I now use a steel ruler. I'm trying to calibrate beersmith for use with the new equipment. I always do a mash out and then hang the bag while the...

My main concern was the earth wire which is connected to the hot aluminium. I couldn't get the plastic cable glands to fit so I used metal ones. Of course they get hot too! The live and neutral seem cool in comparison! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Hi Folks, I've almost finished building my 70LT Brew kettle... however... I've mounted 2 of the ushaped uxcell elements using the aluminium housing that others have mentioned. The mounting is solid with no leaks very happy. But the aluminium housing gets very hot as it is in contact with the...

Damn it. I could have put the 50 bucks worth of bits towards one of those bad boys.. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. Have to get this sorted for the weekend. Don't want a drought over the Xmas period! :) Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Holy shit. I had no idea that this would be such an issue... Fat ******* I may take you up on that offer mate if I get stuck thank you. I'll call a few metal fabricators tomorrow. I'm in lower blue mountains there must be somebody nearby who can do the job for me before I **** it up more...

Unfortunately I can't pick another spot as I'm committed now! I did use cutting oil just a tad ambitious on the last home.... Sigh.. So no holesaw will cut it now? May have to seek professional help! ;) Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Hi Folks, Started drilling some 16mm holes in my stainless stock pot tonight. All went well except for hole number 4. The last hole! When drilling the last hole I was the hole saw must have been too hot and it flattened the teeth. So I went out and bought a cobalt 16mm hole saw which at...

Interesting. As you say most of the brew day is thumb twiddling. This process would be ideal for utilising the waiting time and give another batch. One of the things I also wanted to achieve was experimenting with split batches for different yeasts and different hops for cube hopping. My...

Anyone had any experience with one of these? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=261201179925 Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Thanks Yob. Swmbo has authorised the upgrade. So I'm lucky enough to have around $500 to spend! Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Hi Folks, I currently do BIAB with a 40L crown urn. I'd like to upgrade my kettle so I can do double batches. From what I've read 70L seems to be a good size. I'd prefer to use electricity over gas but could run gas line into my garage. Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get...

Interesting. I guess I'll make my readings as soon as the wort hits the glass and stabilizes. Thanks again everyone.

Hi Folks, I use a refractometer for all pre-fermentation gravity readings and a hydrometer for post. Yesterday I went through a calibration check of my refractometer. I measured a preboil gravity of 1.047 on my refractometer (after conversion from Brix) which matched my hydrometer, all good...
