Double Batch Brewery Upgrade

[RdeVjun]

Yeah BD, that's one helluva long term project and still not even a single pint out of it! Mind you, chances are high for the first one tasting pretty darned sweet. :beerbang:
Q. Can you tell us how the temperature probe is anchored in the HEX outlet? Is there a tee within the silicone hose which interfaces between copper and stainless- I can see the gland for the probe but not sure what's under it, or does it all just sit there supported by the silicone hose? I suppose it is low pressure etc and needs to be disassembled periodically so a tee there would be a complete PITA.
Looking forward to the maiden voyage report! :icon_cheers:

Wow, I just took a look back at this thread and can't believe I started building this rig in 2008 and still have not run it. I need to fix some leaks in the plumbing and attach some 240V leads and it should be good to go. looking forward to doing double batches.

Thats because you're a lazy bugger who spends all his time drinking Gold down the pub with his bogan mates

Seriously BD, you should invite me over for a look when its a goer :icon_cheers:

BD, you and Jonathon should get together and talk about how good your rigs are going to be

Seriously though, please post up some pics on completion, when ever that may be! It looks the bidness!

Cheers

Because I'm a lazy ******* and there is no pressure in the hose there I just drilled a hole in the silicone hose and screwed the probe straight in Ralph.

@ Winkle, that and doing never ending renos on the house to keep the missus happy.

@ Cocko, I've got a major incentive to commission it as I'm selling my faithful old rig. I've got Liam's mayo bucket ghetto rig here as an interim, hopefully I don't get too attached to it!
