Someone on the "other Irish" forum mentioned that they were "half the weight of his Cornies" (Or something like that)

That might suggest a couple of questions,

Are these branded Cornies or something else?
Are they Stainless Steel or something else?

Skiptonian

I do wonder where they are getting all these (second hand) Cornies from

Is there some vast disused airfield in Germany full of the things?

We are up to 216 now.

I suppose the optimum number will depend on how we have them shipped over. i.e. if we have a lorry that will hold 10 pallets then it makes sense to bring 10 pallets.

That makes sense.

Hi Skiptonian, Liking the sound of your kit, would you be so kind as to post the details of it (where you got it from etc)? I have a 'standard' set up from H&G and am very happy with it but my current limit of finished wort in the FV is 25ltrs, of this I lose ~1ltr to trub and would love to be able...

For me, 60 litres is a great batch length. It makes 3 Cornies, uses a half bag of grain, 100g hops and 2 hands full of hops for the second hopping to make my favorite brew. I like to keep it simples.

cheers

I intend to just swap it over with an original when it's Holiday/Party time, regass it first at home from my pub gas cylinder and then use my old Hambleton Bard Co2 cylinder to top it up - simples 8) I suppose I could h...

Electric elements seem to create a larger variation in heat gradient in the HLT, much larger than you get with Gas. My guess is the large surface area of the Gas burner helps.

I also prefer to have the cost of the brew off the "House" costs.

Just to confirm, the 4 on the left are all the left hand dial, number 5 is the middle dial and the far right is the right hand dial. 6 take off points, 3 pressures available.

Looks like my board purchased from Norm

cheers
