Brew Day In Bundaberg

[Bribie G]

All power to your bags :beerbang:

I sympathise with Clean Brewer, I also work nearly every Saturday and Winkle is having a brew day on the 26th as well, down this a way.

Be sure to post piccies of the rig in action, can't wait.

Looks like a pretty good start to me, hope Gregs has his weetbix for breaky.
Thunus, why don't you cut the threaded pipe down so the ball valve is closer to the boiler wall? Or is there a reason it's like that?

Cheers
Andrew

Just born lazy I guess.

I'll cut it back this week.
We are also going to build a stand to get it above cube hight and a lifting frame like kev's

Kev that looks the ducks guts, how did the burn-in go with your paint & what's the hight of the mast ( I should know the answer to that question) looks like it could be cut down maybe?

One happy quacker!!

The paint had no problems at all - after the two runs; first just a water boil test on monday, and then a brew yesterday you can't even see it was used, pitty about the boil over on the other paint :blink:

The height at the current adjustment is 232cm overall (measured by my son :huh: , but as you can see in the pic I could get a lower setting. This was the max height I could get under the roof where I brew and hopefully should allow for the 82L keggle.

[gregs]

Kev If that measurment is correct then it should go under my garage ceiling at 240cm, cool. Bring on brew day.

I'll bring my drill bits just in case

Kev youve got heaps of adjustment in that rig, just measure the hight your happy with at home and lower it from that point. That way you have the best of both worlds.

Andrew,

I was going to PM you Perry and ask if you would be interested as well.
What do you think Gregs, fancy a long distance brew day chat?
