Hmmmm will be a while before I venture into the world of mag drive pumps .... anyone ever tried a dishwasher pump? Those suckers must be rated for a fair temperature.

 

[Batz]

It is an italian brand.....Grumpy Thomas put me onto it...

 

[Batz]

Are you happy with it GMK?
Have seen Sanders on the site , did you buy the same model as his ?

[big d]

only if you bring some full kegs batz. :chug:
you may have to hit the o/t trail to keep her indoors happy

yep 04 is gonna be mighty expensive on my mark 2 brewery with pumps,counterflow chillers and a few other things im thinking about. :blink:

 

[Batz]

Used my boiler big time today big d , wort chiller brought the temp. down to the water temp. fairly quickly , still way to high , had to use some ice as the esky set up is not (set up)
Want a washing pump? Wired and with 1/2' out and inlets?

 

[big d]

bloody oath send her up

 

[Batz]

okey dokey

 

[Batz]

Hey
It is a secondhand jobby

 

[Justin]

Hey Batz, did you get the 809 HS PL model? Apparently, after reading various things on the Yank website, this pump is the "go" for homebrewing. I think you should be very happy with it. Look at it this way, you were going to buy it anyway so you might as well buy it now and get the most use out of it (this is how I've justified my Barely Crusher . Apparently you can also get a brass one but it's dearer and in my opinion probably unnecesary (??). My mate is building a RIMS system with his, also building the controller for it from scratch. Pretty impressive actually. Just taught himself all the programming and building knowledge off the net.

Got some more hop cuttings last night. I now have 3 POR, 4 (cuttings) of Tettnanger, 4 (cuttings) of Hallertau. Beer, Beer and more beer. :chug:

[Batz]

That's the one I ordered Justin , will power my RIMS as well

 

[jayse]

your system is sounding great batz.
I want one of those pumps one day for sure, not that my pumps don't do the job well. Your gunna have one of the best systems here before you even ark it up for the first time.

cheers, jealous of Batz new pump, Jayse

 

[Batz]

If I make it through the delivery alive , then I'll let you know what it's like

This is Batz peeking through the mail slot in his front door :unsure: h34r: :unsure: h34r:

Watching for the Wife and the delivery man, hoping and praying that the gods would not be so cruel as to allow them to arrive home at exactly the same time.

just playing Batz. Your a bold man.

[Murray]

You had best sacrifice a glass to the ale gods, Batz.

 

[JasonY]

Batz, you could sabotage your washing machine a few days before it arrives and then claim it is just a new pump for the washing machine

Slim chance of it passing but ya never know.
