Exactly, that's what the thread was set up for. I'm guilty of sending it OT but I was trying to be helpful to the SA members who now have Aldi stores (and WA in the very near future) and it turned into a shitfight as per usual.
However there's a lot of appropriate stuff comes up on Aldi all the time, for example I'm waiting for the next round of small fridges to come up, my hops and yeast samples are taking over the domestic fridge and freezer at the moment and I also need bottle storage for comp brews coming up.

I went in looking for said vac sealers over the weekend here in Melbourne, are they in other states only at the moment?

:icon_offtopic: Keilor Downs store (VIC) has plenty of vac sealers in stock

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Anyone got a link to info on these sealers? All I can get is they can do wet or dry foods from the box in an earlier post photo. Are here equivalent to a Eurolab, or Kmart type one?

My Eurolabs heat strip burned out and is a pain to seal bags now... Looking for something of slightly greater quality. Channel bags as I have a box and a half of them still...

There were two or three in the Prahran store on the weekend. Seal everything fine, i used mine for brewing and sous vide until it fell off the top of the cupboard and broke.

Also for the 3D printer if you dont know how to use one already then dont bother buying one. Will cost you much more to learn to use one than buying the $5 airlock you wanted to print.

For those caravaners these are quite good, they have a booster, 240v or 12v. I've have had one for several years and it's been great. You can pay a fortune for a stinking aerial.

keep it on topic. this thread isn't going off track again.

Anyone tried making a mash tun out of one of these? Bottom draining, dynamic mashing, centrifugal sparge and tip action to remove spent grain.

I understand also that when filling barrels with water a food grade hose is recommended.

They would make an awsome germination kiln


If it was made of metal....

I use one of those hoses with a caravan style carbon water filter. Great tasting water. I thought it was a usual price but it's actually a great price. I got the Bunnings 10m version for $20 about 2 years ago same price as of now. Just had a look and the 20m version is $42.

Edit on hose price opinion

BANG! I need me some of this. Are these usually nation-wide, or specific to a state?

 

[earle]

Should be nationwide

Back on topic, kittens:

3 D printers for $500, from Wednesday.


Down the bottom of the page.
I have no idea how to use one but it looks like a way of printing hard- to -get parts such as grommets, various connections, maybe even an airlock. With a kitten or two. As a Meccano kid I would have loved one of these.

Is there a food grade resin available for printers? I can envisage printing little hop cages to go into kegs, thermowells, now my brain is racing...........................

Its a good price if you're in the market for a 3D printer, but given the technology used (fused filament) I wouldn't recommend them for anything brewing / food etc. related. The parts will have small holes and imperfections, which make perfect sites for bugs. Good for taps and similar where its less of an issue. The home models of whatever brand all have issues so need patience and a fair input of time to produce decent models, plus an ability to design models in 3D int he 1st place, unless you're happy to be reliant on other people's published models. That seems to be true however much you spend. The days of true plug and play for 3D technology is still some way off.

That said, there is something truly amazing and magical about watching a carefully planned model come slowly to life before you eyes, layer by tiny layer
