Hi guys
I have bought a 5 star element http://www.5stardistilling.net/element-guard/ with the 2.4Kw element they sell on their website as well.
I didn't realize that that the guard element had to be soldered, so I was not prepared for that. I do have a little silver soldering
kit which comes with a butane torch, some Silver flux (sodium borate Pentahydrate) and a little bit of silver wire. Now I assume that the silver wire is supposed to be used as the filler in this case, but there is not nearly enough to weld it to the brew pot. Now I assume that people use cheaper fillers for welding. Basically I need to weld a stainless steel guard element to a aluminium brew pot. Does anyone know what filler I should use for welding? Also where is Brisbane could I buy it? Also if someone is willing to sell me just a little bit of it (I can pay for postage as well) that would be great.
Thanks for your help
Cheers
Alex
