Very nice Peter.

Also given me a good idea with the way the pump is set up.

Johnno, the pump set-up that you see is only temporary as I managed to break off the outflow threads. I believe it is more efficient if the pumps inlet and outlet are verticle rather than horizontal. I will be incorporating an air vent in the inlet and outlet side (using ball valves) in my new design.

Cheers,

Matt. I have no issues with Brass disconnects although they tend to get a bit warm if you want to change hoses in a hurry (use gloves). However, I find that I don't really have to change any connections immediately and it will cool down quick enough by its own. Having said that, if I had the finance, I would have chosen foodgrade plastic disconnects.

Hey Pete,

Nice job on the brewery cobber. :beerbang: I would like to know a bit about your Temp controller, element size and where you purchased the controller. I' checking out new ones at the moment.
Cheers

Looks to me to be a Dixell digital temp controller, like those recently purchased through Dreamboat. Just a simple on/off digital temp controller with a 20A(??) relay. Nice simple temp control that can have up to a 2400W(10A) element directly wired across the thermostats relay.

Pretty simple wiring.

Cheers, Justin

Not a problem Hawko. See Justins's reply in post #48. Well explained. I got mine in the bulk buy. Works very well.
