Hi NRB, RE the merc brakes, I did "question" why I needed new pads and rotors at only 15000kms and they said thats its fairly normal, which at the time I didn't believe. When I checked up on the internet, it appears that they are right. This monster chews through brakes. :blink: java...

Hey KK, Be careful what you wish for. Just had the first service on the car (15000km) and had to replace brake pads and rotors (brake disks) - $1900. Oh and that did not include the price of the actual service. Man these Mercs eat through brakes. Finally, a big thanks to JG for hosting the...

Thanks JG, but still no luck attaching the files Whats happening is that when I click "add this attachment" it apears that the file is being uploaded and then after a minute or so the page is redirected to a blank screen. In the mean time no file has been attached. Similarly when I try to...

sorry guys. Tried to attach images but was unsuccessful. How does one attach images?? SF

Hi Guys, I'm currently in Lake Louise Canada for a conference and I have just tasted my first "Big Rock Grasshopper" a canadian wheat beer. Not bad actually. Earlier in the day I had a few "Signature Ales" whilst walking on water. Yep thats right, walking on water! Actually, Lake Louise is...

Hey plasticman, If I remember correctly, you had an excellent set of picture on the gallery of the kettle elements and how you mounted them onto your boiler/kettle. Any chance of posting the pictures? Would be a great help if you could cheers SF

I while back I saw some pictures in the gallery (I think it was titled: the poor mans Stainless) about how to install some heating elements into a plastic bucket. I was basically wanting to get the same elements (I think they were out of kettles you buy at kmart etc..) and install them into my...

I made an interesting observation, this afternoon. I pulled into the local bottlo, to buy a couple sixer of JS and Redback and I noticed a sign which said words to the effect of "new batch" referring to the JS golden ale. And heres the catch it was several bucks more than the other style JS...

I must say the golden ale is still my all time favourite. I'd be cut if it was outsourced.

Was in Salzburg on a ski trip a couple of years ago and came across Stiegl beer. 50% beer/50%lemon soda. At the time I thought it was disgusting. Now when I look back, I think, it wasn't that bad. Anyone know if you can get it here in Oz. When in Austria, try Stiegl beer SF

I thought this might interest those DIYers. looks pretty easy. SF

Hey Gout, Thanks for the info. cheers SF

hey Justin, How did you drill the hole to install the element. I'm assuming you have a SS boiler, right?? cheers SF

Thanks for all the info. What sort of heating elements do you guys have (rating) and where have you got them from? Cheers SF

Cheers BigAl. Food for thought. Warren, I can only envisage a scenario where I would have only the HLT or the boiler on at any one time. For example once strike and sparge water have been used (and mash complete), I switch off the HLT element, and when I am ready to boil, I switch on the...
