    Smoking Meat...

    Been such a long time since Ive posted in AHB but thought I should share some pics with you guys. After my first run of ribs which was saved by the house oven as my smoker kept tripping the power so I gave up on it. I rewired my elements and removed any type of plastic that was on the oven...

    Smoking Meat...

    Hey guys, Since I have a go at everything else smoking was the next thing to try. I've built a smoker using untreated timber and am using a dual hot plate 2400w. I'm using a Rex pid to try and control the temps but I seem to get about 5c fluctuation. Is this OK for smoking. I bypassed the...

    Stc 1000 Temp Controller

    Mate I know u posted this a while ago but to me your cable glands r the wrong way. The nut should be on the inside and you should tighten the gland onto the shielding not just the 3 exposed cables. And u should not need a cable tie to hold it in place. Macca

    PID Controllers on Ebay (are they any good)

    So I have been testing these PIDS over the last week and today it seems that I have them calibrated and running very nicely. The autotune seems to do really well. I think these PIDS (thermocouples) would do a lot better surrounded by water but I have mine setup for heat mats. I had to...

    temp probe outside or in fermenter?

    I used to tape mine to the side until I couldnt be bothered anymore. Now I just place it into the wort under gladwrap and I have found my temp is so much more stable than previously. Just a spray with sanitiser and a few wipes a couple of times and shes been good. Touch wood :) Macca

    Ebay, Gumtree and FB Marketplace

    So whats the point in getting the refund. My understanding is so I can purchase them through another company but if I have to pay them back I may as well just wait for the items to arrive

    Ebay, Gumtree and FB Marketplace

    Hey guys, Dont know if this is the right place to have a rant but as its Ebay related thought I'd put it in here. I purchased 2x rex pids just over 5 weeks ago and am still waiting to receive them. Following a few emails back and forth they first lied to me about where the parcel was saying...

    Building And Using Garden Sprayer Party Kegs

    Such a great idea. Thanks :) Have made some modifications to the original but it seems to be working now. I definitely want to change the bulkhead to be at the top instead of at the bottom but I don't have all the holesaws yet. And I could not get the valve to seal properly having it screw...
