sample pic :thermos pot with built in bottom drain and pipe

[Titch]

right chaps this is the latest set of pictures i have on samples from China

recessed bottom drain
big nut ;( not sure on that

opinions please
and bear in mind these will be sold for around the same price as a pot costs from ebay france but will be ready to rock.
if you want pretty you can always buy a bare pot and convert yourself


















please no ooh i bought a hole cutter im trying to start something here and provide a service
please help i can always tweak design once i have the samples

i think i might just get these shipped and take it from there

thanks chaps

Looks interesting, Titch.

What bore is the pipe leading out from the pot - will it be compatible with UK fittings eg: 15mm?

Personally, I can't see any problems with having a nut at the bottom of the pot - no different to having one on a side mounted valve assy.

What's the internal dia of the pot - (thinking false bottom sizing - available off the shelf from current suppliers or will one have to be made up).

 

[Titch]

pipe is 15mm, but looking into getting stainless if cost is not too much
the nut is just annoying but they have said they can look into better/other options when full production starts
the bottoms will be made all being well by a forum member time and costs dependant, we will be having a few beers when they arrive to discuss and measure ;-)

but i see no problems with people buying as is or with a bottom

i am also looking into getting the pipe terminated as a screw thread so a tap can go straight into it

i got my tracking number today so they are on there way so fingers crossed

Very interested in this, Titch.

I'd be interested in one fitted with a false bottom and ready to roll, keep us posted!

How about a standard bin style tv but with a water jacket. Would be the same as the mash tun minus the hole in the bottom, and either a water input output on the water jacket or enough space for a fish tank element.

Looks very good. :thumb:

What sizes are you getting made?

 

[Darcey]

looks very good! Despite my original sceptisim. I may place an order! Is in the insulation up to scratch in particular the lid? May be worth doing a trial mash at 70C and seeing how many degrees C you loose over 30min, 1h, 2h etc?
