Title: Look what I found today!!!
Post by: fishjam45 (Colin) on April 02, 2014, 04:20:26 PM
I knew there was one around somewhere in the job and I eventually found it!
Seems to be a 20ltr .... It boils up then the "keep warm" light clicks on.
Pretty sure this will help me move on from kit brewing, hopefully the boss lets me take it home ....

The only thing wrong with it is the outlet tap is jammed. I'll probably replace that with a lever valve anyway.

you can get an electrician to bypass the keep warm button so it boild.....and just in case u cheat and dont hire a competant person then dont bypass the overheat safety cutout.

I have a similar boiler that cuts out and keeps warm.
If you dont use it as a boiler you can use it as a water heater for sparge and so on..... so good luck with it, nice find :)

I reckon I'll be using it as a boiler. I like the idea of bypassing the keep warm button but I defo wont be touching it myself.

Anybody out there reckon they'd like to give it a go?
