Pulley for BIAB skyhook

[breakbeer]

My current twin pulley is not cutting it. It's a cheapy from Bunnings and the rope has slipped a couple times while hoisting. Hasn't resulted in me being covered in 78 degree wort, yet.

Can anyone recommend a good rope pulley that I can hook onto a beam above my pot? Would prefer one with twin rollers that have a decent groove/concave for the rope to sit in.

Cheers

I got my pullies from bcf. Can't find them on the website though. Only single but good stainless steel quality pullies. I have two single ones which work a treat.

I bought this one for my Braumeister based on a recommendation in another thread. Should suit your needs (4 to 1 ratio from memory) and delivery was relatively cheap and very quick. Not stainless though, but do you really need that?

I also got mine from BCF lik earle. Initially bought the bunnings ones and they were just shit. The rope kept slipping off the wheel and pulling into the side. The bcf one is much better constructed and will last a long time. Its smooth when you hoist the bag and it doesnt get caught between the rollers. I just got the singles but if i was to do it again Id buy the double rollers, for an easier hoist.

Go to BCF or to a marine chandlery store to get the real items.

Did my maiden 1v recirc biab brew today. I just used a tie down for a motorbike/trailer/car. They work a treat. Carry 1-200 kg depends which one u get. and like 10 bucks.

Got mine from bunnings, just a single roller. No problems after 2 years of biab, the rope has never slipped (the benefits of a single?)

+1 on the marine chandlery stores. In my opinion BCF is waaay too dear. I got my original setup from a marine chandlery store, it's decent grade stainless, unlike the Keg King/Chinese import stainless that rusts and shit and possibly is toxic. A decent one will last you many good years and will be used for many other projects.

Here's the one I got a few years back when I upgraded my BIAB setup

The two major online players for chandlery in Aus are Whitworths and Bias boating. Just for info. They will both price match.

I got mine on ebay - cheapies from HK. I don't usually cut corners on my brewing gear but they work like a charm

They look good, that's about what I paid for the stainless steel ones for mine.

just remember the more pulleys the less work.
