lookin good fellas :icon_cheers:

I think he does Yardy, that's pretty much all he's missing for his setup, a nice big boiler.

[yardy]

No problemo, I've been in bloody Gladstone for 3 weeks so I've missed all this, you blokes are on fire :icon_chickcheers:

If you're home tomorrow I'll drop the keg at yours for him.

Hey Andrew, for future Budgeting(or how many Tips I need to earn), what would be an estimated cost of the Control Box all done??????? :unsure:

:icon_cheers: CB

Looks awesome and exactly what I would be after down the track .....

 

[Thunus]

I heard a rumor gregs was ready to switch to AG brewing !

Guess its time to sell my shares in Morgan's :icon_cheers:

 

[gregs]

Well Thunus with you being the major shareholder does this mean youre relinquishing control or selling out completely? Youll have to pay for your kits now. :chug:

Not too sure how much the box itself cost, but at a guesstimate,

Box - $50.00
Dixcel - $180
Mashmate - $90.00
Relays and heat sinks - $90.00
Sockets, plugs, wiring - $80.00
Timer - $15.00

Like I said, that's a rough estimate.
Home brewing is soooo cost effective :lol:

Andrew

Edit: And that doesn't include the elements either.

Heres a pic of my herms element it's 2400w with 2" BSP fitting that screws in from underneath.

Sorry if this is a bit old, just caught the thread,.

Where did you source the neat heating element?

Inside looks a bit like a dogs breakfast but it's been tidied up since.
Love the new Dixcel controller, such pretty lights :wub: . The timer on the right has three separate timing modes for 3 hop additions, a countdown mode and a clock, still can't work out where to plug in the ipod .
We've got one dedicated 15 amp circuit for the HLT, a 10 amp circuit for the HERMS and a 10 amp circuit for the pump, all switched and the HLT and HERMS are relayed.

Cheers

Andrew, does the control box plug into one GPO, if so is it a 15A cct. Or have you included some logic circutry to preference the HERMS over the HLT etc or maybe programmable demand sequencing so as only one element draws current at any one time.

Three separate leads and circuits 1 x 15a and 2x 10A Screwy, I believe Gregs is getting the electrician in to rewire his main circuit box.

The element is a Grimwood Drink Dispenser 2 BSP fitting UG650000 2.4KW 240V, they have a website (grimwoodheating.com.au) I ordered it through an electrical wholesaler. Cheers

Good to see you got your blankies out fellas, hope you had a good brew day, oh and Thunus looks like your brewing a low alcohol beer next, that will test you :lol: .

Andrew

 

[Thunus]

Had a great day.
Did your Pilsner recipee AndrewQLD, tasted pretty good on the way to the cube.
Also did one of QLDKev's aussie ale recipees from his good book of brews.
Looks a lot more like an english bitter than an aussie ale but I'm sure it will be good :icon_drunk:



Came up with a device to empty kegs.



and then added kev which made for a much more efficient keg emptier.

Anyway with three BIAB's going I think we actually made more beer than we drank for once. B)

and here's Kev with his nice white new bag

 

[AndrewQLD]

So Kev didn't wash it, he just bought a new one :lol: , love it.
Good to hear you had a great day, quite a novel idea your keg emptying device, I've never seen Kev use one that size,
He usually uses one of these


No wonder you brewed more than you drank :lol: .


Cheers
Andrew

 

[QldKev]

It was a great day, I was going to take my 1.2L glass over but thought I had better be polite

We finished the keg of Thunus's first AG.

Are we sure that's not Kev proudly showing off his new undies?

Mine come with skid marks built in.

This was a bag Thunus got for me, thanks dude.

Did some work on the HLT today, made the element bracket and welded it in place.
