I have (had) one of them aeretors, works (worked) fine. Think I've killed it. I'll worry about it on the next brew day.
Does the job, can't complaint. Better than mixing with the paddle.
As a brumaister clone user I'd love to know the final results.
Bad day brewing is better than good day working.

Will defiantly let you know . Was hoping to get on to you before it comes time to bottling. Not looking forward to bottling my 50L brew (all going well) and was thinking some of your corny's might be the answer, if you had any.  You seem to be the go to guy for kegging.

Bottling 50 litres of beer is fun.. if you're retired  :)
BTW I'm filling few bottles with every brew just to taste the difference between bottle conditioned and draft.
You know where to find me if you want some.
The only concern I have with that air pump is the aeration stone, ss one would make me think it's all more higienic.

Hi DEMPSEY, Just seen this now, been mad busy over the last while. to answer your question, this pump is by no means short on power. the filter plates in the build were two 3mm thick stainless plates with mesh in the middle. There was enough power in this pump to bend the filter assembly into a u shape when when we first turned it on on constant power. we got it working eventually by using a coarser grind on the grain and got some very nice beer out of it. Will post up some pics when i get some time to get them off phone and reduce size.
