    Braumeister Clone (UK)

    The pump is there. Ordered Laing ecocirc E1-15/700B, but received Lowara ecocirc pro 15-1/65. I guess, the same pumps, as they have the same specs, and Lowara acquired ITT and Laing. They basically look identical. As far as I know, the Laing/Lowara is the one used in Braumeister. Will ask the...

    I've seen it. I'm even subscribed to the channel. Great stuff. I don't see why not to want to go through both parts. The circuit is fairly simple, the parts are widely available. That's a hobby in the end :)

    Braumeister Clone (UK)

    Hm, sorry, but no offence meant. I ran into this thread: looked to me it all started in the same place (matho's Braumiser) and then got picked up by MaxN68, and resulted in ArdBir. When I talk about controller, I mean more design (and/or software), rather then the manufacturing. I think I got...

    Braumeister Clone (UK)

    The problem with my tube is that the edge is 0.6mm thick and even if I polish the roughness out of it, it may not be dull enough to keep the U-channel from falling apart. Something like this though, could be nice: http://www.gummi-plast.de/de/profile/u-profile/tu1-2587 I don't see why the...

    Yes, I did find the U channel on British eBay: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/281055758296?nav=SEARCH I will try to use it for both malt tube and the filter plates. It's not easy to find them. I wanted something bulkier for the bottom support. They are easily available in various profiles in minimum...

    Braumeister Clone (UK)

    Just googled what Lael controller is (never heard of that). It's basically based on Brauduino, on which ArdBir is based. In the end, I think I will be rewriting the software either way, have a slightly different vision on functions, user interface, etc. So far the target is to brew a batch on...

    Braumeister Clone (UK)

    Could be. Getting the bar is not an issue. Bending might be though :) I think when two 2mm thick false bottoms are in, they will form a perfect cylinder with a rigid rib cage, there should not be an issue. Btw, just finished prototyping my Arduino Mega 2560 shield for the thing. Already...

    No, there isn't. The ridge you see is on the outside. I will secure 4 pieces of L-type stainless steel profile on the bottom of the pipe to support the false bottom.

    The tube has arrived: Yeah, well, it's 0.6mm thick wall, and since there is no rigid ring around it it didn't hold long as a circle. But all in all, good enough for 20eur.

    Braumeister Clone (UK)

    Yes, there are:http://m.ebay.de/itm/321236061388?nav=SEARCH&varId=510509284465 The ones that I checked have a fitting depth of 60mm, thus, for example, 250mm + 330mm - 60mm = 520mm. This is what I'm thinking of as a 20l/50l setup. Smaller diameter I checked in UK have an effective height of...

    Braumeister Clone (UK)

    Yeah, I'm looking through the UK sites, and the common size is up to 200m. In Germany 300m is more available, e.g. here http://www.ebay.de/itm/Edelstahl-Laengenelement-einwandig-Rohr-Kaminsanierung-80-300mm-EW-Schornstein-/231374740487

    These are stove flue pipes (Schornsteinrohr in German), like here: http://www.stovesonline.co.uk/wood_burning_stoves/Single-skin-flue.html I will get mines on eBay, though. No particular preference yet. Made out of 316 (V4A) grade stainless steel. Should be widely available locally, and have...

    Braumeister Clone (UK)

    barneey, yes it indeed is the same make. I want to drill as less holes as possible, because the pot is not cheap, so nice and not easily available otherwise :) And I know I can easily drill something somewhere. I'd rather go with just one element to avoid unneeded openings. Want to keep things...

    Braumeister NEXTGEN Build

    I will go with a round-shape stainless steel block that will have a thread in it, and braised to the bottom of the pot with silver soldering. The rod will have thread of the same size on its tip and will just be screwed in.

    Braumeister Clone (UK)

    Hi I was in a long process of thinking on the concept and inventory list of my own Braumeister clone, and was actually considering the same heating element, and also couldn't find a decent 1.2 height/width ratio pot. And then I found this thread. Awesome! A was already desperate to find a...
