I've got that pump but still havent used it. What connections are you going to use for the in/out pipes?

I got a little buzz off doing that 'how to, Might just make a post of my build as well, although i did copy Vossy's guide!

Hi all, thought i'd make a quick how to for using a Q-Max cutter as I found this method very easy when I converted my 60l thermo and 100l pot into a mash tun and boiler. Heres how to cut a 20mm hole, I'm useless with a drill normally but this was easy! Here is the cutter, It comprises of...

any pictures yet muddy ?

I got a 60 litre delivered last month. It came without the tap thankfully as i want my tun to be a bottom drainer. Mine mesures in at 395mm diameter (internal). I'm now on the lookout for a false bottom :hmm:

What I was thinking was a smearing of JB weld under the flange to make a good bonded seal with the inside of the tun. I have read that you should have the black washer on the nut side of the tank connector but i can't see how this will create a good seal, if it was placed under the flange this...

I have ended up getting a basic tank connector and a 90 degree tap connector to fix straight onto it, Looks like it will work fine with a fibre washer inserted into the meeting point of the two (are fibre washers food grade)? The only issue looks to be a little extra dead space, but correct me...

I will get the camera out and photograph me ball'sing up a perfectly good 100l pot and 60l thermo box!! I make a new how to if it turns out OK, to be honest it will prob just read the same as yours Vossey. I've just ordered my qmax bits. the only other thing i am wondering about is the bottom...

Thanks lads I've got my head around it now. Aleman's site seems a little cheaper but all in all this will be quite a costly set of accessories. If i was to go with Alemans idea i think I'll need: 3 part B http://www.intricoproducts.com/catalogu ... partb.html @ £17.94, for my 3 vessels with...

Thanks guys for the options. Plolix's 316 type seem to realy look the part, I think I'll be ordering a few of these. I'm a little dim when it comes to this type of thing and just need to know if i just order say this; http://www.kiowa.co.uk/Products/Hose_Co ... pling.html or do i also need to...

What is your method of coupling hoses from and to your pumps, I am just in the process of building Vossys style of vessels and has come to the time of ordering my fixtures of the boilers and mash tun. I have orded those 3 peice 1/2 ball valves from BES and i snatched some silicon tubing which...

That look nice, was it from Austraila? What was the bill for that little number?

OK, hey vossy what did you want a 6ltr thermo box for, was it to build a heat exchanger?
