Recently I had a misfortune of scorched beer (https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/recovering-after-scorching.97341/), and while I was polishing the heating element with soda bicarb tonight, I thought of something else. For two years on that system I didn't have a single scorched beer. The last...

Currently I have a heating element that I purchased from 5starsdistilling (http://www.5stardistilling.net/weldless-2400w-element/ in a guard). Been happy with it, but recently it scorched my beer, and among other reasons for that I suspect that it may not be low watt density. So I'm looking at...

My last batch has been scorched. I use a 2400W heating element (http://www.5stardistilling.net/weldless-2400w-element-guard/) and for the last 2 years it's been fine. This time it gave me a smell and subtaste of scorched cereal ;( I consider a few two possible reasons for that: a) the heating...

So I assembled a thermostat based on C-100 (I decided not to go after STC-1000 as I wasn't sure that it would sustain 2400W heating element). The controller I've got from Aliexpress seems to be a bastardised version, it's missing quite a few functions described in the documentation available on...

Rectangular plastic cooler Willow, 55l capacity, served me well for 2 years as mash tun, now I've converted to single vessel. You will have to install a proper tap (I have put the original plastic tap back on it) and a false bottom on it. Free. Pickup from Lindfield area. Send me a PM for details.

So I've installed a nice and shiny 2.4 KWt heating element into my 50 liters kettle. At the moment it's connected using 1.5 mm2 cable of 0.6 m length, with a plug. I had also bought a controller kit from Stil Dragon (http://www.stilldragon.com.au/diy-controller-kit/) thinking that I might need...

Willow cooler 40 liters, used for two years as a mash tun. I ripped the SS ball valve out and put the original plastic cap back into the drain hole. Free, but I will gladly accept a bottle of a nice homebrew. PM if interested

I've installed a 2400 Wt heating element, which I'm going to use during both mash (with PID thermostat which I'm yet to build) and boil. Theoretically, it should be alright for 10A wiring I got in the house. In practice I'd prefer to have some insurance against overheating the wires, as the...

In the light of foreseeable move to a smaller dwelling I am trying to scale-down my brewing system, hence regretfully selling these two pieces: 1. Italian burner with medium pressure LPG regulator. I happily used it for almost 2 years, with single and double batches, in my opinion it's more...

I've recently moved to Roseville from Sydney's west, so traveling to Western Sydney Brewers' meetups seems impractical; I'll miss them. Just checking if there is any club here, functioning by the similar model, i.e. with monthly gatherings in some local place allowing BYO beer.
