Aldi specials

[Digga]

Supplied with cross hatched ones.

I own a vacuum sealer atm and have bought there bags a few times before as mine doesn't seal the smooth bags that are readily available to me. Just seeing if anyone has used one to seal smooth thicker sandwich bags with them and had success.

If it helps you I've sealed chip packets and other random stuff with my Aldi one. I'm sure you could just hit "seal" a couple of times to do it properly if the first one didn't work?

Saw this guy in Aldi today.. dare I suggest it be suitable as a fermenter? 100L for $60, not a bad scoop.

Would be perfect for indefinitely recycling chiller water if you had two of them.

They are available for $68 at bunnings normally. Different brand on the label but they are exactly the same.

Using 200 litres of water at an ambient of 20 degrees, that would be fairly typical most of the year, with 25L of boiling wort, you wouldn't get much below a final temperature of 30 degrees even with perfect equilibrium attained using a plate or coil chiller.
Using a single tank of 100L you'd realistically struggle to get below 40 degrees.
I'll stick to cubes.

I think the major attraction would be doing massive brews but then you'd need lifting gear / special refrigeration cabinet whatever.

The difference between the Aldi, bunnings and similar fishpond offerings is that the Aldi kit includes a diverter, stand and link tube. I got the kit identical to bunnings from fishpond a few years ago for $50 delivered and use it to catch rainwater for watering hops and veggie garden.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have a local bloke that sells recycled food grade drums/buckets/etc for fairly cheap
Would be a much cheaper option than these Aldi units
Just discovered he does 20, 25 and 30L cubes for $8 so I'll be stocking up

30L cubes would be pretty handy, especially at $8. Can you use these as a FV? any drawbacks? I could probably fit 4 of those in the brew fridge.

 

[sp0rk]

I'm not sure if the 30L ones have bung holes for taps, going to ask him today to find out

 

[Meddo]

Yeah I'm just after one as it seems like a fairly convenient storage for RO water, given it takes forever to run a brew's-worth through my little filter.

 

[Moad]

Steam cleaners at Aldi for $40 today

Yay I'll be heading past Aldi in Lismore on Thursday, bastards better have some left.
Last time I had an interesting conversation with the guy on the checkout who reckons that VB is the best beer ever brewed. :unsure:

They should sack that monster.

 

[Bribie G]

I gave a water tub a sniff at Aldi today.
Typical plasticky smell but not the almost WD40 type reek that you often get from i dustrial plastics.
Should clear up nicely with a wash out.

They 'brew' VB? I thought it was collected cats piss left out in the sun.

What's wrong with the Aldi website? I can't see next Saturdays specials. I hate going there on a Saturday unless there is something I really need...

 

[Bribie G]

OK for me, try clearing your browser cache.

ooohhh weedkiller, yes the gardener's friend..

And I wonder if this could support enough weight for a BIAB stand.................

It's working for me Bridges.

Stylish Garden and Women's Autumn Essentials are the two categories.

I don't know you at all...but I reckon you'd look magnificent in the Ladies Jeggings for $14.99!

 

[Bridges]

Yay! Thanks Bribie got it working and yes Ken I would look magnificent in those jeggings but everyone knows the only way to brew is sans pants (jeggings are pants right?)

 

[sp0rk]

Guinness cans for $10 next wednesday

 

[Weizguy]

Guinness? I'm in, for a one-off purchase.

 

[nosco]

Has any one tried Caffrey's? Im gonna give it a craic.

 

[Bribie G]

Probably dreadful.

Hey next Saturday, spin mops are back for about $30. Not on the website yet.

Absolutely brilliant for cleaning up brewery spills and general housework, wouldn't be without mine.

 

[nosco]

Probably dreadful.

My pun or the beer? or both?

 

[Bribie G]

The bun is the lowest form of wheat.

 

[Zorco]

Drink now or forever hold your piss

I'm very keen to know if it does. Might sit on one in-store and sue if I get injured.

I bought one of these so called high pressure washer things today, the idea being for the patio, house walls etc.
Gave it a whirl and decided very quickly that it's going to be very useful for washing kegs.
