    GUTEN

    Does anyone know of an Australian supplier who would ship a Guten to NZ? The NZ supplier just tells me they are coming soon and they never arrive. I sold my 3v pending buy one, but if they don't come soon I'll have to go down the Robobrew 3 route, which I don't want to. Will still work out...

    Keg King Elements

    But that's exactly the point. The Keg King elements are substandard because of the wiring. It's an easy fix but yet they continue to sell something that is putting lives at risk.

    The Grainfather

    That's normal. It's designed to have a good flow to keep the wort moving so that it has a consistent temp throughout, rather than just hot spots in the bottom. As long as your wort clears as the mash goes along everything is ok.

    The Grainfather

    I've got the GF Profile from the manufacturer that I'm using. It's available in the Grainfather Users Group on FB as a download and you can just import it, or here's a screen shot.

    The Grainfather

    I've done a handful of brews on my GF and as an early adopter with the first generation model I've experienced the problems that are well documented. Excluding the chiller none of these problems are big and generally they will be fixed in the next model due out soon. The old chiller was a...

    Keg King Elements

    Every new model they claim to have fixed it and every new model does the blue flame trick. I'm staying away no matter what they say now!

    Electric 70l Kettle

    I also have 2 x 5 Star in a 70 litre pot! They are awesome. I bought my pot about a year ago and it had Keg King elements that did the exploding trick... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t6Qs8dFf1M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl7tVSU5mIs

    Keg King Elements

    A quick video of my boil. I am very happy! 2 x 5 Star weldless elements with their fancy element covers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t6Qs8dFf1M

    The Grainfather

    Yeah it is - this wasn't my video but done by someone I know. Mixed result here with some people loving it and some people reporting stuck mash, leaks, chilling problems, build quality issues, slow ramp times.... Not big problems but if you are spending $1k then you want it to be right. Some of...

    Keg King Elements

    Actually, if you look at these they are really similar. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Heating-Element-Adapter-Stainless-Steel-1-5-Tri-Clover-X-1-NPS-RIMS-Tube/1564035671.html

    Keg King Elements

    Mine's all secured into my pot so I don't really want to take it to bits, but it's basically like a little lug or screw that you screw down on the inside.. I showed an electrician and he said it was good. I'm really happy with both the elements and guards. They were easy to assemble and even...

    Keg King Elements

    I've got a 70 litre pot and will be doing double batches. The 2 x Keg King handled it easily so the extra power will be a bonus.

    Keg King Elements

    Got my new 5 Star Elements in and going. They are fantastic, although I've only done a wet test and haven't done and actual brew yet. They seem to be a quality piece of equipment - I got them wired professionally and the electrician said they were good. I love the element guards, they were easy...

    Keg King Elements

    I ordered a couple of the weldless elements with the housing/guard from 5 Star... the only problem now is how do the housings get assembled! There'[s no instructions and I'm a gumby when it comes to this sort of thing!

    Keg King Elements

    When it says the 5 Start Weldless 2400 watt elements are ready to be wired by the electrician, is this just a simple job of attaching getting a cable and plug attached or is it more complicated than that?

    Keg King Elements

    I was out of the room when mine blew, but that's exactly how I would describe it. Sounded just like a firecracker. Going to order a couple of the five star tomorrow, and all going well will get another for an hlt in the future. I like the idea of stainless steel as it seems easier to clean...

    Keg King Elements

    Can anyone tell me the diameter of the actual element (5 star)? My current keg king ones are close together and any bigger and they won't fit.
