website deals of the day

[Wolfy]

There are dozens of 'deal of the day' type websites now, and sometimes they have stuff that other AHB members might be interested in.

Rather than make a new thread each time something new comes up, I thought it might be wise to make one thread (like the Ebay thread).
Many of the deals have time-limits, and some are location specific, so try to include all the relevant information when you post something new.

Unfortunately the $69 Vacuum sealer on Cudo just expired.

So I'll start with this $99 Tap2Table Portable Bar-Style Drink Dispenser on DealMe.
It reminds me of the 'beer vault' I've seen at some bars, and if it was filled with hops + beer would also make a good looking hop infusing (randall) type serving container:

29 Left, expires 6am (Melb time) on 22 March.

Good idea for a thread Wolfy. Plenty of bargains out there lately.

Guys this is a "Pinned" thread and as such will remain at the top of the forum thread list.
As suggested earlier please leave a general description of what you are linking to.
Also in order for this thread to be manageable and easy to read for other members off topic posts will be removed and links to unsavory sites will result in heavy moderation.


Cheers
Andrew

An Aldi-special, but I didn't think it was interesting enough to make it's own thread.

Microflame Torch & Gas $ 14.99 - great for sterilizing inoculation loops when propagating yeast.

Looks similar to what you can get at bunnings. What I will say is this:

1. Use cutting fluid
2. Take it slow. Use a slow speed on stainless, about 250 RPM if you can adjust that on your drill press. Otherwise just go slow and consistent, topping up with cutting fluid and you'll be fine.

I just realized I have a commercial electric dual hotplate stock pot boiler. It's 3 phase and will boil 70L+. I might put up a sale thread with photos soon. Any bargain hunters likely to be interested?

 

[Wolfy]

As much as it pains me to say this, some AHB members might be interested in a U-Brew (BOP) 'brewery' tour and & 144 Bottles to Take Home for $129
(Deal is national, and ends in about 5 days time).

Food Vacuum Sealer $69 for the next few days.

Looks much the same as ours, which is serviceable and works fine, but probably not the quality of the ones you pay $100+ for.

Here's a handy tip you've left out - use a punch to mark your drilling target before even attempting a pilot hole. Even a good quality bit will go bananas like a ballroom dancer on ice otherwise.

Or build up a couple of layers of masking tape and drill into that. Holds it nicely until it grabs the ss.

I might get one of these. Has anyone used IR thermometers for wort and how well do they work?
I see they advertise an accuracy of +-1.5 degrees, which isn't amazing.

 

[Truman42]

Ive been told they are not that accurate but I use mine for cheking wort temps in a cube prior to pitching, or when cooling down boiling water or , warming up yeast samples from the fridge, checking temps of stubbies Ive just placed in the freezer to cool down to drinking temps, hyrdo samples etc etc.

Comes in handy in my brewery.
