The missus spotted this one today (shes well trained isn't she :lol: ouch, I just got hit when she read that :( ) It's available on demand (OD) CH4 The secret supper club - series 1 episode 9, Thornbridge brewery. 1:19 - His expression says it all :)...

no sour grapes here, I use polycarbonate on my sight tubes and as I said, for safety sake, hope other people who read this post will do so to, seeing as this is not mentioned in the OP. I am glad this is clear on the "how to" though. Out of interest the sight tube method I use is even simpler...

I hope the "15mm clear tube" is polycarbonate and not something that is unsuitable like acrylic :wha: for safety sake, melting points and all that! good job otherwise...next up adding graduations?

Here is a post I made on another forum, it may give you some ideas if you are willing to try making your own false bottom... http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=41588&p=446795#p446795

Are they suitable for Stainless Steel BB? these ones deffinately are... http://www.screwfix.com/p/flexovit-ultra-thin-metal-cutting-discs-pk-of-5/71334 and at 0.8mm thin they fly through metal. On average I use 1 to 1 1/2 disc per false bottom (1.5mm thick 316 stainless steel). They need to be...

aluminium has been discussed a few times. I think the general agreement in a nutshell goes along the lines of the "worry" about "mental health" implications that aluminium has in relation to being in contact with food produce came from a poorly conducted survey many moons ago. In terms of taste...

excuse the cross link but half way down this post you can see how I am making one for a friend... http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=41175

tut! - plan your drinking session better moley! - drink 4 bottles to get 3 full pints ;)

thanks for all the kind words. It's not as big as it looks you know (no smutty comments required :grin: ) It will fit in both a 75l or 100l boiler. My brew length is around 70l so it's worth having the extra cooling capacity. nahh, I'll use this... my GPHE if I want to do overkill :rofl...

I used 8mm copper to make mine. It has 8 (yes eight) individual coils and a full 25m length of pipe.... and I'm in the middle of making a simpler version for a fellow brewer that uses 4 coils... You can see the small CO2 cylinder that was used as a former to coil the copper around in the...

make sure you keep the doors & windows open...alcohol poisoning is one thing, carbon monoxide poisoning is another :shock:

I did a bit of an experiment with regulators, as, although I get a decent rolling boil with a 37mbar standard propane regulator I wasn't blown away by the performance (in other words the time it takes to raise the temperature to boiling can be slow). With this in mind I bought one of these...

:mrgreen: cor wish I had the time to do what you have done. Well done, your experiments are superb, and your writing very concise, including all the important H&S information that sometimes gets neglected. I see why you say you need to look into using Arduino. I did a project that involved quite...

The ingredients list all check out to be safe (unless your a fish!) but still I'm not willing to take any risk. In fact the MSDS only lists Glycerine and Polyvinylpyrrolidone iodine as being hazedous and goes on to say "There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current...

no, it's just putting another piece of information out to the public to allow them to make up their own mind, as I said "your decision ultimately". I made up my mind, even without the full facts, as I'm not someone who wants to take any sort of risk with my health; and no doubt there are other...

I hate to be the one who breaks this to you all but I used to use videne (in fact I've still got some left in a bottle) but no longer any more. In fact the main reason I changed to Videne was because my water supply is heavily chlorinated and I was having problems with TCP taste as I used to use...

so is Fernox LSX silicone but be aware when I used some to re-attach the gasket to my conical lid as it cures it emits acetic acid (strong vinegar smell) for at least 3 days. Personally on my perforates s/s false bottom I remove the sealing tube and run hot water (collected from the IC) through...

some you can...like mine... and combined with my 8 coil Immersion cooler I hope to get the best of both worlds! :D

Ooops, So sorry Bones, forgot I said I would post a follow up! I've been away for a while, but I'm back :D ! So since last post I've had a Timothy Taylor (brewed using the real yeast don't you know!) in the conical - the results of which are almost drained from my Cornies. A nice fruity tasting...

Don't forget their german ebay website which tends to sell more items at the better, "buy it now" price... http://shop.ebay.de/catering-portal/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25 PS not many people know about that site so keep it under your hats.... JOKING! - tell EVERYONE :D
