Vic 2013 Xmas in July Swap - Recipe thread

[breakbeer]

I'd personally love to see your system in action Edak

Although it might make me wanna scrap all the hard work I've done on mine & go for a Brauclone

I have another 200l drum I've had stuck aside for a possible cider fermenter that I can bring. I've heard that a 32 jet mongolian can get a 44 to the boil anyone know if its so ?

Mongolian will easily get it to boil, my LHBS guy use's a rambo burner on his 200L drum and it works fine.

Does it have a tap in WF? I can easily bring the holesaw if it doesn't

 

[Fents]

And sorry guys i wont be able to make the swap. Absolutley gutted. Just not in a good space now, Still trying to find a house to buy so Saturdays are just flat out house hunting, also im on a bit of a detox for personal reasons.

There are however some things i'd like someone to do for me :

1. First beers at 10am (for the host and whoever else is there)
2. Someone take a marker with them
3. Make sure the spit is not ready to eat until 10pm, its tradition
4. Get blind
5. Don't question manticle's 8 way brewing ability - he's got this
6. Take lots of photo's
7. If breakbeer offers you a toke, oblige, he's the host your his guest.
8. Dont leave it till midnight to remember points 1 thru 7

Have fun guys, its always an awesome day.

 

[Yob]

Awww nutz.. Now I have to consume twice as much and hold myself up?

Got the Fents rulez covered

 

[breakbeer]

spewin' Fents, I was lookin' forward to a catch up.

I'll try & check off your list as the day goes

 

[manticle]

Bollocks fents - would have been good to catch up. Got to look after yourself though so all the best and catch you at the next one.

 

[Edak]

I thought step one was collect underpants...

Sorry you can't make it, I actually look forward to meeting everyone.

 

[Yob]

building the manifold for the 80lt Esky and fitting a tap to it, presumably that will be large enough for the 2nd system?

 

[Whiteferret]

Does it have a tap in WF? I can easily bring the holesaw if it doesn't

No hole yet, will put the 1/2" ball valve out of my keggle into it. Haven't got a pickup tube for it as I usually siphon into my cubes.
Still need to cut out the lid and give it a really good clean which will be fun as it used to hold tea tree oil.

 

[Yob]

Finished the manifold today (still in the dog house due to the time it took) so the 80lt esky MT is a go, I presume we can get 25 to 30kg in it at at stretch.. Do I need to bring my burner stand and keggle for HLT? I assume we will need 2 x 50lt HLT's?

What time are you expected WF?

What time are we aiming to mash in? Working back from a mash in time we need about an hour to get HLT's up to temp, mill grains etc etc?

 

[manticle]

Let's do a final count of equipment. I'm still posting on a phone so someone start a list of what's needed, quote and add in what's covered. Can add from me : in 50 l hlt, 2400w element, 4 ring burner and med pressure reg, 9.5kg gas bottle and 70 l kettle. Add everything in now, deduct surplus when everything is covered.

 

[Yob]

System 2
HLT - 2 x 50lt Keggle (or something bigger as a single vessel?) -
MT - (80lt esky - Yob) (Still needs thermowell placed but should get it done)
Kettle - (200lt bad *** thingo - Whiteferret)
Stand - (Yob)
Burner + Bottle (4 ring {will fit Yobs stand} - Manticle) - If we are going to go the Mongolian, please edit this.
24V Brown Pump + Silicone hose- (Yob) - Bet my boots we will need one

This list is by no means the be all and end all, just as my mind has the equipment, it's still subject to better ideas and editing by anyone who has anything to add or replace with better equipment...

we certainly need to get it locked in though.. we aint got long

edit: Blue requires attention, AFAIK, the rest is locked in

 

[manticle]

Did you get my 70 l and 50 l pot in there yob?

 

[Whiteferret]

System 2
HLT - 2 x 50lt Keggle (or something bigger as a single vessel?) -
MT - (80lt esky - Yob) (Still needs thermowell placed but should get it done)
Kettle + stand + mogolian + bottle (200lt bad *** thingo - Whiteferret)
Stand - (Yob)
Burner + Bottle (4 ring {will fit Yobs stand} - Manticle) - do we need this for HLT, please edit this.
24V Brown Pump + Silicone hose- (Yob) - Bet my boots we will need one

Wouldn't even worry about the lid unless, like me, it's a good excuse to get the job done

As in the top of the 44 that's still there. :icon_cheers:

aah, I see... will you make up a measurement stick / sight stick so we know what volumes we are at?

 

[Yob]

System 2

HLT1 - 1 x 50lt Keggle -
Burner + Bottle + Stand (4 ring {will fit Yobs stand} - Manticle)
HLT2 - 1 x 50lt Keggle -
Burner + Bottle -
MT - (80lt esky - Yob)
Kettle + stand + mogolian + bottle (200lt bad *** thingo - Whiteferret)
24V Brown Pump + Silicone hose- (Yob) - Bet my boots we will need one

Think we will be best off with 2 x Keggles for HLT's Manticle, the 70lt would maybe work at a stretch for volume, but I rekon that 2 keggles will be the go. Can set up low and pump to Kettle, pump can run off portable battery pack.

Again folks, please edit if you can add / replace items in the list

Blue need attention.
