Was no effort mate, there's nothing too complicated about them! The barb comes out easy enough with some padded multigrips holding the body and a shifter. Then open the valve to half way and poke the blunt end of a bamboo skewer or something through the ball from the inlet side to catch the...

Dave and Bribie, Are you trying to replace the factory valves due concerns over sanitation? I've just been doing a bit of light reading through the extensive BB thread over on HBT, and some of the guys there have shown that you can actually break the supplied taps down for cleaning. They also...

Don't want to derail the thread, so PM sending...

Got a couple of the 62L ones also. Pretty average construction on these pots, with rough and obvious seams down the side and where the base joins the sides. The two pots were different heights and diameters, and given the light weight and the tinny sound they make, I have my doubts that these...

Its a plastic bucket, so just use plastic taps. Search for snap taps, seals and backing nut are included, just drill a hole and put it all together... http://www.thebrewshop.com.au/still-spirits-ez-filter-snap-tap-w-backing-nut.html

OP, how did your beer pour?

Damn, you've gotta be quick round here! PM sent re back up dibs for the pot. Cheers Jord

Nice font Mckenry, but how do you stop your bludging mates frigging around with all those control knobs when you're not watching?

The Well Shod Drunk thread from the other night comes to mind, which looks like it has been removed. Had to have been amusing to get removed! :lol:

Thanks for all of your replies so far guys, and thanks to those who got in touch via PM offering their assistance! AHB has copped a bit of a shit canning of late, but I have had a great response to this thread from some very helpful and knowledgeable folk, and it has really helped to get me back...

Hey Trox, how was dinner? :chug: Thanks for keeping an eye on this thread, and for your input. This info is gold, and I really appreciate it! The shed wiring is fairly new, so I should be able to confirm what went in. I seem to remember it was thicker cable from the house board to the shed...

Hi Steve, Yeah right, which ties in with what Trox was saying about the 2 120V phases compared to our single 240V. That actually really helps to explain the difference there, thanks guys.

Thanks for your replies fellas. I hear what you are saying about the 5.5kw elements, this was one of the examples of the discrepancies between here and the US that I alluded to in the OP that is making this process so difficult for me. They seem to have 50amp supplies there too for dryers or...

Hi brewers, I am putting the call out for anyone with the know how to help me with the wiring of a BCS460. I have zero electrical experience, and after sourcing a couple of components, I have stalled with this build. I have attached this link...

Following on from this statement, would Pat or any of the other chemistry minded brewers out there be able to comment on the benefit of using a short mid 50's protein rest to increase the free amino nitrogen pool in order to assist the yeast in reducing diacetyl in the finished beer? Diacetyl is...

I have borrowed my baby's bottle steriliser for yeast vials. Works great, fast and effective. You just need to make sure your vials are a suitable plastic for this treatment or you'll warp them.

What yeast did you use in this brew?

+1 for Amber Nectar. Duane is very helpful, with everything you will need at good prices. Not affiliated, yada.
