dj - I got new ones for my sinbo style one off of aliexpress - undo 2 screws, replace the strip and the teflon tape and you are good to go. The issue may actually be that the teflon tape has been burned through in sections - so check that.

Thanks lael, will take a closer look at it. I noticed a 'mark' on the strip and felt like a slight raised bump so may be the tape deformed. Did aliexpress specify the brand/model or are there generic for all sealers based on the length?

 

[lael]

My tape had burned a hole in it where the heat strip bends down into the recessed screw holes at each end

 

[DJ_L3ThAL]

Mine is almost dead centre to the strip. Did you find a cost effective tape source or did aliexpress have that also? eBay seems to be $40+ for any Teflon heat tape

Had a look at the rest of their site, seems they have some decent prices on beer glasses too:

Libbey - Assorted Beer Tasting Set 4pce - $16

Bormioli Rocco - Birra Pilsner Set 4pce - $19

Spiegelau - IPA 6pk - $35 (few bucks cheaper than Vic Basement)

Noticed local Kmart had a bunch of vacuum sealers going for $59 if anyone is in need of one.

Bought one of the avancer bac sealers for $50 delivered, came in two days and it seams like a pretty good thing, vacc'd some hops and yeast and meat and it works well, comes with 10 bags to start with.

 

[SBOB]

anyone know a cheap source of vac bags while the discussion of vac sealers is happening...

 

[Blind Dog]

Kmart sell a 2 pack of 260mm wide, 6m long roll for $15

If you have a sinbo style one that doesn't need the channels - I got: http://www.thepackagingcentre.com.au/collections/sous-vide-commercial/products/vacuum-pouches-350mm-x-450mm-100um

Which allows around 2kg of ribs. The large bag makes it way easier to get spiced ribs in and out cleanly. Seal 300mm across the top (no vacuum) and then diagonally across a corner

Not sure if this is the right section to put this in so admin please move if not.

I stumbled across a water flow meter that is cheap and easy to use. I have purchased one for my brewery and thought others may like/need one as well. I have no affiliation with the company I just think its a good product at a good price.

Great idea but when I read about it in the link accuracy is only to 95%. Maybe I'm a bit OCD but for brewing purposes I'd want it to be a lot more accurate.

 

[navarau]

Yeh I thought that too but decided to order one anyway and check out the accuracy myself.

I first stumbled across it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9g6oMsbahs and it appears to be quite accurate.

I'll let you know how accurate it is when I get mine.

If 99% accuracy is more your speed...but 95% is good enough for me for that price.

i can not see what it is made of.
Is it food safe?

 

[evoo4u]

Just checked with the distributor, and they're temperature rated to 35C.

Hey DJ
Did you end up find a place to purchase Teflon heat tape that doesn't cost as much as a replacement ?
