Hi Roosterboy
Any updated on v2.

And how did your v1 order go.

Hey mate , Version 1 Brew Baskets should be on a ship on their way to us. I'm waiting for that confirmation.
There was a bit of a delay with shipping as I haven't used sea freight before.
Anyway how would you like to see the Version 1 Brew Baskets?
If I thought sea freight wasn't worth it with Version 2 the price would change so I was waiting, but no problem with getting them made.

 

[tumi2]

Good to hear. A few pics would be good one you get it.

 

[tumi2]

Im happy with sea freight if it's easy for you.

 

[Straya]

Possible to jump in for version 2 whenever that happens mate?

 

[Roosterboy]

Yep Straya, The Version 1 baskets should be in soon. When the guys who ordered them , use them , there should be a bit more interest in Version 2 .

 

[gotsomecraic]

Can I also please jump in on the v2 version, suits me to a tee.

I will get back to you. One thing I won't use again is sea freight. Anyhow here are the V1 Baskets .

 

[tumi2]

Nice work. They Look great. I bet youre keen to give one a go..

[Roosterboy]

As this version is the biggest so far , I'm going to see if I can get it made in Australia. The manufacturers can make something on it when they get bigger ( like cars ) but that means
the price might change.

Put me down for v2 please mate.

I ran two back to back batches with the basket on Sunday. Both were about 5.5kgs of grain, going for a 26L in the kettle and 22L in the cube.

I use my crown urn as a mash tun only and drain off into a kettle and do the boil with gas.

The first thing I noticed was the basket wasn't quite high enough to clear my concealed element (only a couple of mm too short). I doubt this would be much of an issue in a mash.

However, it fit perfectly on top of my drop in strainer (https://www.nationalhomebrew.com.au/beer/brewing-equipment-pots-and-hardware/crown-urn-drop-in-strainer). I was then able to fit 29L of strike water plus the grain on the first batch and 30L plus grain on the second. I then sparged with 5L and 6L respectively. Without the strainer you may need to reduce the strike water a little.

It worked really well! The only other thing I noticed was slightly less wort in the kettle as a result of not being able to squeeze the BIAB bag. Great bit of kit! Thanks to Roosterboy for organising!!!

I'd be interested in a V2, please add me to the list.

 

[tumi2]

Yep Im still interested in v2 also

Snaffled my basket this arvo, it suits me for my upgrade of my rig perfectly, a Brewer cannot resist upgrades or tinkering , it may not result in better beer but the oh oh yes factor cannot be ignored .
Thanks Roosterboy , well done.

 

[Roosterboy]

Thanks Shacked and spog, I hope the Baskets make BIAB easier. Not just for using with barley and wheat but oats and rice also.

After numbers for Version 2 Brew basket. Diameter = 34.0 cm
Height = 31.0 cm
Legs = 7.0 cm
So total height including legs = 38.0 cm
Made of Stainless Steel 400 micron mesh.
Using a different supplier , they will take around 6 weeks to get to Oz. 2 weeks to make and 4 weeks at sea.
So far tumi2 , Straya , Gotsomecraic , boddingtons best and synliss are still interested.
