I've gone on conical

[Litmus]

HI All,

well after reading and looking reading some more I decided to say goodby to the buckets and go conical; push slightly over the edge by the fact I got as a pair these for just over £200. Chopped up and old pallet I had been meaning to take to the dump and they will gravity straight onto my kegs.

The construction and fittings seem OK, maybe a little ruff round the edges, but adequate for what I need them for.

oh I should mention they are the mini brew 30L ones

Easier to upload the pics straight from your PC with the paper clip icon in the message body, nice Conicals though

If your picture is hosted elsewhere right click on it and choose "copy image addresses" from the drop down then click on the "insert image" button here (see below) and paste the URL into the pop up.

This is how i added your picture to your post above :thumb:

You can't insert a shared image from google drive directly into a post. Google stopped it same as Dropbox and most other cloud services because people were using them to make websites and monopolising bandwidth. You can convert the shared link to a displayable one by going here.

https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/

then use the url it gives you inline

Works anywhere, not just this forum.

You need to resize them though, the one above is massive and if three or four people quote my post the page will start taking forever to load.

I clicked on the link in post 4 did what i said in post 6 and edited post 4 to add the picture that was not showing previously as for the size this site automatically reduces the size of all images and gives you the option of seeing the original size by clicking the yellow bar above it.

Yes, my post was aimed at the OP so he could do it directly. I'm not sure what it is that you're seeing though Chippy, there are no images visible to me, all I see is two little blue error boxes.

As for the resizing, don't you remember helping me with this thread? We resized all the images between us to make it work.

This is how post 4 shows to me are you seeing something different?

You can see the original failed picture icon between the link and the picture i added to the post.

I do, If there are several massive pictures it can take a while to load them but one or two don't really make much difference to thread loading times.

No I just see this, I've cleared out my cache and what have you but it's all I get:

I just took the url and pasted into my browser and google says this

Sorry Litmus by the way for spoiling your thread. I'm darned jealous of those conicals by the way.

 

[MyQul]

Nice pair (OO, Matron!), What make are they? Where did you get them? Also what are specs on them, specifically the height (just wondering if one would fit in my brew bag)

congrats on the addition to the brewery.. how are you planning on maintaining an optimum brew temp with them??

I was just thinking this.

A HUGE larder fridge? Or heat belt perhaps?

No worries, sorry I broke the forum :grin:
