Oh Shit . . . No More excuses now!! . . . Divorce Pending

Post by Aleman » Thu Jun 25, 2015 2:15 pm

My friends, I have a confession. I've lost my brewing mojo!! I know, I can see you all standing there shaking your heads in disbelief, but it is true, I no longer have the will or desire to brew. :shock:

I've been looking at the pico brewery and the femtobrewewry for the last 3 or 4 years, and the shear bloody hard work of hauling it all out and putting it together has just turned me off brewing completely. If I had a permanent emplacement than it might be different, but for the time being it's just too much. I've even considered going down the BIAB route, and have the material and tape to make some bags . . . but I can't be bothered to make them. This situation cannot be allowed to continue, and so I made a decision.

I wonder what is in these ?

Image

Can Ya Tell What it is yet??

Image

Certainly the 20L comes well packed

Image

Really nice German Shiney 8-)

Image

Once the cable ties are all snipped and it's unpacked . . . Its still a lot of money for a Shiney BIAB System :D

Image

I bought a few accessories as well . . Yes I too fell for the hop filter :roll:

Image Image

Although the Immersion Chiller is pretty cool . . Should probably got the Jackey as well although I'm thinking some armaflex sheet will work just as well.

Image

Well what was in the big box??

Image

Well the Braumeister accessories were a good chunk of it. The dirty great white box is the next one to open . . . I wonder what it can be?

Image

Well it looks as though it's something shiney . . . Well Duh!

Image

First thoughts are that there is not a lot of assembly . . . Just the thermowell . . . then I realised they had put the Dump valve and racking arm on the wrong ports!!

Image

It's a snip with TriClamp fittings to swap things about. and the thermoport is a breeze to install.

Image

Look Etched Volume markings :D

Image

And this is the thermoport and racking arm . . . Finish on the insides is pretty damn good . . . certainly more than good enough for brewing . . . after all it's not brain surgery we are performing here :D

Image

I've just had some malt and yeast delivered from Rob @the malt miller, so I'm already to brew something.

No More Excuses!!!

Very nice matey. My set-up is permanent and built for laziness but but I still occasionally gaze enviously at BM stuff. It's just so darned compact.

So the divorce thing. Is is a divorce from your previous brewing kit of a divorcee from your better half as a result of spending this year's holiday funds? And maybe next year's too. And for cancelling Christmas.

It will probably have to be sold :( . . I mean there are only so many breweries a man can have

For the time being, I'm resisting though

Looks like I might be off the hook, with my inconsequential purchase of a 20L BM,hop filter, I.C. and 10L malt pipe.
