hi onefor the road, can i ask how you secured the mashmaster to the thermopot as im having real problems getting a watertight seal. when i tighten the back nut, the front of the thermopot sort of caves in a bit so am unable to tighten properly. would love to know what fittings you used for this and where to get them from, heres hoping, cheers ken.

If it helps.... had the same problem when I fixed my Mashmaster to my HLT. I ended up buying some JB Weld on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JB-WELD-WORLD...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cadff34a0and fixed it using that.

It did the job for me..No more leaks :thumb:

I bought some JB Weld off jbweld.co.uk, it cost me way more than fleabay, I had to email them to get them to send it and it arrived in normal envelopes, so they were ripped. If they sent the gear out with as much care and speed as they take in relieving you of your money via pay pal, they'd be great :lol: it fixed my leak too :thumb:

About bloody time! You need to spend more time on here and get brewing more!

I know! I drink too much! :drink: Oh well!

Anyway regarding the thermopot question my answer is: If you can't do it get some one who can! No sorry I didn't mean that but i did get my bro to drill my holes for me for the thermopot, I know it was cheating but he drilled a hole in the the outer skin first with what looks to be like around 60mm, cut out the insulation out and fixed the thermometer, nut and seal to the inner skin. Hope this helps! :?

If you look closely at the picture of the mashmaster thermometer dial you can see the cut out of the outer skin just behind the dial.

How can they be so expensive? :shock: might install an electronic one.

 

[onefortheroad]

They are cheaper from Australia believe it it not! :shock: But you do have the risk of the duty being placed on top of your package when it arrives in the country. http://mashmaster.com.au/p/862990/-weld ... -tuns.html The prices have shot up I bought mine 18 months ago, it was just under 18quid then plus postage.
