Stainless Herms Coil Released

[brettprevans]

The hoses were pushing to one side due to the makeshift arrangement to test leaking

Will be addressing this before brewing

Cheers

ah ok, I wasnt sure if it was just that the coil didnt fit into the kettle. v interesting.

Received my coil yesterday. Nice little unit. Will be picking up a BigW kettle today for trialling. Will just plonk the coil in and sit the whole lot in a bucket for spillage protection and safety... Or may even splurge on a small SS pot to sit it in (for bling's sake)

Maybe do a trail run this weekend. Cheers nev

I don't really think that's a great idea. If you have enough water spillage to warrant a bucket you will end up with your electric kettle sitting in water...

True. Will just secure it place then, to avoid knocking it over.

Pimp my HERMS!!!

Ok so I decided to make myself a Hermit build with the PVC, it looked schmick as, but a word of warning to everyone; DON'T USE A KEG KING 2200W ELEMENT!!!!!!!

By the end of the mash I noticed that it had a definite lean going on, so I donned my industrial gloves and gave it a poke, and it was soft to touch.....

Yes, I had indeed melted my HERMS

All the expensive parts of it were fine, and I had a mate over for a brewday who suggested that his neighbour could make me something similar out of stainless...

I jumped at the idea and the next day (YES THE NEXT FRIGGIN DAY) this is what he had made for me:

Which now turns my brewery into this:

Thanks to Gaz & his neighbour and Gar for the awesome sticker that helped me to pimp my HERMS.

Yeah but at least I attempted to hide it.... they have plenty of em anyway...

Reminds me of a funny story, I was showing Chuck Hahn some pictures of my brewery and remembered halfway through the slide show that I may have used a keg from a company he may or may not have dealings with....

I ended the slideshow halfway through just in case he had a go at me....

Smashed targets Nick, got an extra 10 points in efficiency!

Thanks heaps for helping me set that up, you won't be buying many beers on Saturday....

 

[NickB]

Ha, sounds good to me

Not a problem mate! Happy to help! It's all practice for me too!

Got my brewery wired up the same afternoon, tested OK on Sunday, so will be brewing maybe next weekend...

Anyway... Back on topic!!

Cheers

I used the argon method for the compression fittings, worked a treat.

Nice work mate... I'm going to have to drop in one day for a look.
So how many pms did you get from people asking who and how much to make one of those enclosures? Just saying, cause I could be persuaded into procuring one.
