Postie Came!

I had a delivery yesterday.

Which after a bit of work magically transformed itself into...

Which once I've modified the tank connector will live in here.

Id cut more slots though as many as you can get in

Good work Keith :thumb:

Is it soldered together ?

 

[keith1664]

And with a little help from my friends

Actually not the fire extinguisher, that was a bit tight and things got kinky so I had to use something fatter, which in turn meant less coils on the inside than intended. Anyway....

One step closer to AG #1!!!

Yes it is, I didn't want it coming apart whilst stirring the mash and figured I can always forward and reverse flush to clean.

Very nice work, with workmanship like that I can see shiny fever coming on soon.

I think I'd best brew something first UP!

Nice work :party:

The first is a copper manifold for the mash tun (to strain the mash and stop grain particlues from transferring with the sweet wort)
The 2nd is a copper IC (immersion cooler) used to quickly cool the bittered wort after the boil

Nice work Keith :thumb:

My manifold is held together with elastic bands and hasn't come apart in the mash tun (yet) :pray:

 

[31bb3]

I just crimped mine in the vice it comes apart with a little gentle persuation but not when mashing

 

[keith1664]

Do you get a lot of crud in the manifold that requires it to be taken apart for cleaning? Or does a flush through with hot soapy water normally suffice?

 

[31bb3]

not usually a good flush through works but its good to be able to strip it down to be more thorough

Very tidy job Keith - Super work :thumb:
