The Bread Maker

[barneey]

I`m still working on this project, but thought I would at least post a photo to wet the appetite, still holes to cut / waiting for another tube to be made etc...... but the donor pot seem ideal at the moment. if it doesn't fit the purpose a 38.5 thermo pot will have to be sourced.

Nice one! Will be watching with interest!

Central stem fitted.....

This isn't exactly what I imagined when you said bread maker.

Yep just dont mention the other word please within this thread, although I`m only making this for myself & posting the idea. The build itself is very simple , the difficult work already being done with the internal tube - everything else is made with standard BES or ASAP fittings readily available to everyone.

The basical elcheapo version will rely soley on a built in thermostat and manual control of timing but with a simple PID and timer it could be automated easily. This build also lets me test the readily available pumps.

I must also mention Matho made an actual control box to control his build, so someone with electronic skill might want that route V the PID route V the manual route.

What's the other word?

Another cracking build this. Come the apocalypse someone needs to protect Barneey, that way there will be someone to rebuild the brewing industry.

I fancied building something like this for a better controlled system, however considering I destroyed the fuse box in our house (twice) putting my modified keg together I doubt I'll get around to it.

Ha but the beauty of this build (if it works) all that is needed DIY wise is the ability to drill 5 holes in a piece of stainless - no wiring or other DIY skills required .

IF it works someone (not me) could just simply produce the stem & central tube + 16mm hole cutter + maybe a pump and you build your own pot. All those electronic guys could then if wanted build a programmer for it BUT as it is the basic version is very simple.

Loving the optimistic use of 'simply'

I had been on a flight of fancy making something similar (or a 2 tier) using gastronorm pans instead of pots but got bogged down with the realism that i'd build a death trap. I hope this turns out well as it would be an excellent single vessel setup.

I have an army of loyal nuke-hardened cockroaches briefed and ready to scuttle off to Kent should the need arise.

for all we know one of barneey's experiments could be the cause of the collapse, he probably has a mock up of the cern collider in his shed 1/2 built using old brewkit.

Imagine the spares box for that
