Haha cleaning up is the best part about brewing

Mate thanks for this. Though I think I’m going to try one of those triclamps. Saves me the hassle of drilling and least and isnt badly priced.

I need more Camo in my life.

Ok, and just to be clear, a nice tight gland wouldn't be sufficient?

Where'd you get the element housings from?? https://aussiehomebrewer.com/attachments/20170915_191524-jpg.108367/

L&H. But its stranded not solid. I contacted that mob at 5 Star days ago via email and haven’t heard back yet. Really want this sorted before next brew day.

Hmmm I said that with such confidence, but I'm not so sure there is...

Bang - thanks Droid. Check out RS components range of IP65 and higher small enclosures...

Yeah I looked online too at aliexpress and the likes but 150x150 seems to be the smallest before they go to plastic (which would work but would always annoy me :D).

What happened to the flippable MLT bit from the drawings?

The key to AG brewing (or any brewing) is the ability to keg your beer and have it on tap! So save your pennies for the kegerator ;-) I've seen some pretty elaborate (and expensive) 3V and 4V systems and they produce just as good beer as the ghetto systems. Simply knowing the basics of rest...

Thanks Koshari. Yeah earthing has proved difficult but the core is clamped behind a tight washer against the kettle. Bit disappointed to be honest that Brew Mart in Bayswater sells this without any contacts for appropriate electricians with this sort of experience. Im hearing what you guys are...

I’m confused as hell here... why would a 50L mash tun be too small for ca. 80L boil volume? Is it to do with surface area of the grain bed?

Ahh right - so that's the white stuff in my original photo where the two wires disappear into? Mate that'd be amazing if you could source one. I need to double-check the diameter of that hole... think it's 1 1/4 inch, but have to double check.

Cable is rated to 15A, and element is 3600W. It's flex (2.5mm cores). No sparky north of the river wanted to do this job - tried 3 and got the same response "it's not what I do". Even the appliance electrician scratched his head (www.asaappliance.com.au/) about what sort of housing to put on it...

So what’s the general way to join and seal a heating element as shown in the picture to a cable? Need to take it to an appliance electrician with all the necessary parts. I guess the main question is what sort of enclosure do people use to seal the electrics away from hands and liquids??

Most importantly, 2017 was the year I made the change from single batches to double batches! So that's 2 x 19L x 8 brewdays... 304L, which also stacks up pretty well against me having 1-2 pints every night.

Wet galaxy? We're do you get them from?

About to give this a try with a handful of Cascade fresh from the bine into a 4L mini keg. Anyone got feedback from this in previous attempts... Was it genius or fail?
