Ebay, Gumtree and FB Marketplace

Yeah I was stoked to see them. I'm not sure what to expect though

5v all the way, you know you wanna go pro!

That is awfully tempting.. overkill is my specialty

This may all depend upon how many life's your got left mtb. Have you heard of Dante's Inferno, 9 circles of hell? It's a worry when your avatar appears next to "ebay and gum tree finds" on the post listings.

Scored myself some stainless winemaking drums recently. Four of them have lids/seals etc, the fifth might make a nice candidate for a HLT. $110 for the lot.
I bought them sight unseen as I had a feeling it was a steal, and someone else would get to them first. They were used for small batch winemaking. Anyone know what modifications I'll need to make to use them as fermenters? Installing a beer post and diptube, I assume

Nahh no diptubes - just get a non-weld bulkhead fitting and build stands, so the outlet can be on the centre of the base.

If you're fermenting this large though, temperature control becomes a bigger issue. Also, that's a hell of a hot side to produce batches that big!

Similar to what I was saying. (sorry klangers)

Great idea. I'll get onto that today I think.

Grott - I'm still kicking myself that I didn't buy the stainless bench. I doubt I'll find another that suited for a brewery in Canberra for a very long time, for the price. And if I spruce up the brewery enough, I can install a panic room for when SWMBO decides to research how much it's all *actually* worth, and my standard "Gumtree bargain" excuse doesn't save me.

There are many panic room ideas on the Doomsday Preppers site.

It's when she comes for your nuts with a blunt pair of scissors that you worry. Until then, it's just noise.

Found this cheap alternative to STC.

Very Cheap at only $2.35

Does heating or cooling but not both at same time - so not ideal for fridge/ferment controlling but might be good for HEX controller.

Handles 10amp

Edit - only 12v - so might not work after all.

Grab both mate..... you'll that me later..

 

[laxation]

If I had room to store both I'd get a full set up Why do you say that though?

Have organised to pick one up though already, thanks for the heads up!

 

[malt junkie]

Why do you say that though?

Known as the "slippery slope"

1. The more brews you do the better your beer gets
2. Your friends and family soon learn this.
3. Your friends and family drink you dry
4. You double out put
5. Your friends and family still drink you dry
6. You get a second urn

also at that price you'll almost get your money back, if/when you sold them to upgrade further.

Isn't it funny that when you home brew people think it doesn't cost you anything, its free.
(note: I gladly and enjoy providing family and friends with brews, just making an observation)
