I was sat looking at it and thinking, they're some small keg type FV things.... they'll never work with that giant setup. Then i had a look at the original pics and thought... oh. The new build does make it look a bit on the small size even though it probably isnt.

False Bottom built.

Is it just me or is that an optical illusion? I can't seem to compare the size of the U-bolts they keep swapping depending on which one i focus on.

Waiting for the qmax cutter to try and recover the cut I mangled with a hole saw.

Lovely flase bottom mate, is that just beer line you used for the outter rim?
Guessing you're back from the middle of nowhere then?

I've gone with 5mm PVC tubing from B&Q, didn't have enough beer line. Its easier to cut as well. I believe its still food safe? if not i'll change it later.

Think i'll have to head back out to the middle of nowhere this weekend. Might have to do some work this time :(

Depends on the temperature, I haven't seen any which is rated to more than 60c, now i don't know what exactly happens when it goes over this limit, could just be that it turns cloudy.

Thanks Barneey, :oops: :oops: That could have been painfull. I just assumed the big holes would you be for the cold water higher flow rate.

I`m only assuming its a German ebay one you have bought (although I think most of them come from the same supplier) if you check their website and look at the drawing your see what I mean.
