PECO Boiler

Post by elmarcos » Fri Feb 12, 2016 2:39 pm

Hi Guys

Im hoping you can help? I have a 32lts PECO boiler and I'm looking at using it with the Maxi Biab calculator or BIABACUS. As it is a tapered design I am struggling to put in the dimensions of it. Can anyone who has this and has done one let me know how to get by yhis?

Any help would be gratefully received.

Mark

It's an even taper so you can measure the diameter half way up and use that and the height and you should be good.

You still probably want to have a record of what headspace equates to what volume, a ruler, scales (for weighing the water) a jug and a piece of paper should get you that.

Well said f00b4r my answer was a little brief;) having brewed using the peco just the other day I can also add that it's 1cm per litre measuring down from the top on my peco. This might be helpful, measurement from the top:

20l 14.4cm
22l 12.4cm
24l 10.4cm
26l 8.4cm
28l 6.4cm
