    Recommendations for a wort chiller

    I have an Exchilerator CCFC. Highly recommended. Can get the sort of numbers the plate chiller guys are talking about but you can always run a flexible brush through it when worried.

    Drawer rails for my mill

    I'm not sure I can fit something like this into my current arrangement, but I'd be stoked if you were willing to share sources/models of the equipment you have used. Looks bloody great!

    SS Brewtech 1/2 BBL Chronical Fermenter

    I'll be honest... Over the long term I haven't been over the moon with my ftss 1/2 barrel setup. Rust has been a major issue despite my high level knowledge of passiviation procedures and stainless steel care. Good thing is; the internal surfaces have always been great. With respect to the...

    2 stage glycol cooler

    So the more ideal system (in the interests of direct comparisons) is a fridge? Removes heat relatively quickly and designed to go to lower temps? How would the guts of a theoretical fridge go, with cooling coils sat in a glycol reservoir? Is this more attune to commercial glycol chillers except...

    2 stage glycol cooler

    Hi everyone. Wasn't sure about location of this post. Hopefully this appropriate. So glycol chillers made from old air cons are a bit crap. There's freezing up of coils to worry about, longevity of compressors and such. A lot of the drama is because when used, generally some pretty warm liquid...

    Brewer's Hardware Tri Clover

    I can confirm their quality is high! I have had response via email a few times. Can take them a week, but they're often helpful. Yes the 1 and 1.5" gear is interchangeable. Careful you don't have too many size variations though or you get shadowing which while not awful, defeats the TC...

    Berliner Weisse starter?

    I get good results from these berliner blends although some folks say the opposite. I basically agree with hirschb with some differences. Dump the packet as normal (although you cannot make 50l with one packet of course... Berliner starters built up to a bigger cell count lose lacto...

    HERM IT coil to hold fermentation temp - Small build

    Great experiment! I can't help with maths but see this thread: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/86800-a-glycol-chiller-using-bits-i-have/ I did something similar. Having a copper coil in permanent ice on my return side reduces my reservoir temp increases significantly. My setup can hold lager...

    New Brewery Build

    Hey moad you can get output extension boards for the bcs. Can't remember what they're called though... They're like a terminal block full of relays. Bcs forum will help you find em.

    New Brewery Build

    An addendum to my post above: Making things 'sanitary' (i.e. sanitary-ish) at home-brew level using these tapped caps from brew hardware only really works if you have an item with male threads... not sure you can get auto's with male plumbing????? Also... I like the pots from brewershardware -...

    New Brewery Build

    Theres a stout tank thats about 120L and has a bottom drain... would be a beautiful base for a setup. I was gonna go there but I got a bargain on a 114L blichmann. I cannot recommend TC's highly enough. Totally worth the cash. I just brewed maybe my 6th time on my full TC setup and don't feel...

    New Brewery Build

    For me, even if I hit and held a set of auto-balls with hot caustic, then flushed, then sanitised, I would still be worried. They harbour nasties like nobodies business, and there is too much shadowing in them to CIP even slightly. I'd inspect every brew, and if possible pull the ball and...

    New Brewery Build

    It's really hard to restrain myself from taking this thread off-topic due to how excited I am about the concept of mobile brew rooms as suggested by real_beer. I kind of wish I didn't have a 7x5m brew and bar space so I could justify designing one! Anyway... Are you concerned about how many...

    Got a RIMS Rocket....now I need help!

    Its overwhelming doing this I reckon. I would only leave the PID's and the receptacle on your shopping list. Get the other gear elsewhere - it will be cheaper and no quality sacrifice I don't believe. EDIT: I know nothing about the temp sensors needed for these pid's... maybe ext bought from...

    New Brewery Build

    I had similar thoughts about PLCs (well commercial controllers which are just PLCs). If it helps you further, I believe there will always be a brew controller on the market. It may not be the one you had before, but shouldn't take too much to alter your panel to suit another controller! I went...

    Fast Lager ferment

    Right... So I should clarify something.... Mr Malty definitely said 16L and 4 packets. I did this (above) and went about my brew day... One of the carabiners that holds my bag off the bottom of my 114L Blichmann was in the wrong tabs of my bag and was touching the bottom. 3/4 of the way...
