When I get back from adelaide, I'll assess what gear I can realistically provide.
Typing on a phone so can someone put me down to supply whatever roast malts/spec malts are left?

[Yob]

I should think that the equipment is on the critical list atm... all the ingredients need to go into something, the way I see it, correct me if Im wrong, is that we are heading for 2 gas fired systems in entirety and the 1 electric system?

I dont think we are getting, least not that Ive seen, a kettle big enough for the remainder to do as a single batch?

 

[breakbeer]

Unfortunately I don't have any more equipment to offer

If no one else puts their hand up we might have to scale down the amount of cubes

 

[manticle]

I have 70 l kettle I need to fit a tap to and 4 ring burner.
2400 watt element too but I'll only bring that if I need to.
9.5kg gas bottle, med pressure reg, 40l hlt if required.

 

[manticle]

50 l keggle too but I will probably use weldless fittings from this or hlt to fit out 70 l

1: breakbeer (20lt)
2: Manticle (20lt)
3: Meathead (20lt)
4. technobabble66 (10L)
5. Damn (20lt)
6: Charst (20lt)
7: Whiteferret (17L)

Total ~130lt - 40 to 50 of which we can get from the on site set up. The remainder = 80+ of produced wort + losses.... to my mind, we are probably best aiming for 2 additional gas fired complete systems.

I can borrow CM2's 7lt kettle
Manticle has offered a 70lt Kettle

@ Manticle, we are limited to gas as the on site rig will be using the available power. Im still intending to complete the build on the 80lt MT (this weekend) but we will still need another big MT + 2 x gas fired HLT's...

we need a definitive list of what we still need to complete the 2 other rigs

System 2
HLT -
MT - (80lt esky - Yob) (Still required building, if someone has one ready to go of similar size????)
Kettle - (70lt - Yob to borrow from CM2)
Stand - Burner (Yob - 3 Ring Med Pressure Reg) ??

System 3
HLT -
MT -
Kettle - (70lt - Manticle)

 

[manticle]

I can take a tap setup from my mt so can do 50l and 70 l vessels.

As I mentioned - 4 ring plus med reg and gas bottle also

 

[breakbeer]

I reckon we could run another 2400W electric system now that I think about it, we'd just have to have it setup down the other end of the house.

My neighbour is a good bloke & used to brew so I can even ask him if I can run a lead to his house. I give hime Beer & Gin all the time so I doubt he'd say No

 

[manticle]

I'll bring that too. Someone please add it into the equipment list for me.

How are we going to go for height (Trellis?) or should we be thinking of bringing pumps and hoses? My 24v Brown will pump a reasonable volume and can be run off a portable battery pack? Will have to be guided by breakbeer as I dont know the layout and have no idea where the rigs will be set up

 

[GrumpyPaul]

It is looking like my beers will be there but i wont. (I been travelling a fair bit for work the last few months - so domestic relations might benefit from me not seeking a leave pass for the swap)

My gear might not be too useful as it is a single vessel (Birko Urn) BIAB.

At a pinch I can squeeze 18 litre batches out of it. I am happy to send it along if you guys want to play with comparing the outcomes of the different methods on the same recipe.

Almost like a mini system wars...

So if you guys want to do one smaller batch and have somewhere plug it in you are wlecome to it.

Both the double garage & the carport have a quite high roof, I'll measure them tonight & let you know. I just bought a new pump so I have a couple of LBP's that can be used on other systems

Will I need to sort out a trestle table or two?

I plan on having an RDO on the Friday before to get things set up

 

[meathead]

Im bringing my biab 38L gas set up

 

[technobabble66]

I'm afraid i'll be pretty crap with helping out for gear.

I've got 2 x 30L urns, but only 1 is setup atm. Happy to bring that if it will be useful on the day.
If i can find a replacement sight glass, i could bring the 2nd one also. [actually, i could temporarily plug the port if it is required].
I also have a 40L esky, but its just a basic esky so i'm assuming it's pointless bringing that.

So is any of that useful for the Big Brew-Up?

Just a minor point, i think we're 100g short on EKG as per the list. I think Yob put his hand up for all remaining hops, so is this just a typo?

Anything we need for height will need to be sturdy, Manticle is a good catch but not sure how he will fare catching 2 at a time h34r:

Don't forget 50 l keggle or 40 l alu hlt from me.

 

[breakbeer]

Garage roof is 3m high to the rafters & you can go further up into the roof space if required. There's a sturdy workshop bench at the back of the garage that can be used for one tier & I'll see what else I can think of

Carport is on an angle & is 2800 on one side & 2100 on the other

Should be plenty of room

 

[Edak]

I could bring my single vessel but it's probably not up to the recipe if more than 5.5kg grain. Batch size dependant.
