Application of copious amounts of PTFE tape and brute force seems to have done the trick!

Thanks all, roll on brewday!

Thanks Fil , it's a 2 part olive - I tried PTFE and that did the trick for one of the fittings but the other one is still dripping.

I'll have to try nipping the other up tighter

Thanks very much for the tips

Hi, I've just got myself a shiny new brew builder HERMS coil for my HLT and some stainless compression fittings. Try as I might I just can't get it to seal without a slight drip into the pot when testing by running cold water through the coil. On a real brewday I'm not wanting wort to run into the H...

Cheers, my new control panel has three pids but at the moment only the hlt is actually controlled by an SSR.

Interesting - I was getting a semi-rolling boil on my 2.4kw element so had hoped for something more vigorous. You have me worried that it will be too vigorous now!

I'm moving up from a 2.4kw element and hope to get a more vigorous boil on my double batches (about 50l in the boiler).

Good luck with your new build

Oooh, Alexa compatible? Sounds interesting!

Hi,

I've just pulled the trigger on a new boiler setup from Brewbuilder and wondered if anyone could tell me the size of cable gland required for the 3kw bendy LWD elements?

Looking forward to some new shiny!

Thanks all,

Jamie.

That IKEA cabinet is a great idea, I'm currently deciding on a suitable enclosure myself. Can't decide on something alternative, a wall mount box like the electric brewery or a decent sized worktop electronics enclosure, anyone have any good links?

Thanks - had a sneaky sample when transferring to secondary and it already tastes very farmhousey now the long wait!
