That's an excellent price and perfect buy for a solid urn.

You can put in the code WELCOME and get another $10 off too.

That's for the Buffalo urn from Nisbets, folks.

Yeah with the $10 off code it makes the buffalo around $220 delivered for me from nisbets.

The birko is $45 more from aus-appliances, is it worth the extra? seeing as $45 is the cost of grain/hops/yeast delivered to my door

 

[Rambo]

I have the buffalo and it works a treat. Never seen the Birko in action so couldn't tell you if it's worth the extra.

40+ brews on Birko and still going strong. Never heard of any issues with boil dry switches cutting in. No mods needed, just plug and play.

 

[hathro]

The main difference is that the Birko urn has an exposed element, whereas the Buffalo has a concealed element. It really comes down to personal preference. I prefer a concealed element as it is a flat surface to clean and I don't need to bother with a false bottom.

If you are thinking of purchasing a Buffalo urn, have a read of this post.

 

[tavas]

Horses for courses. Exposed element means a quick wipe on clean up and good to go. Any baked on crud gets a soak in Napisan. The big difference is not having to modify to get it to boil. But both will do the job.
