Anybody know where to find big stainless balls!
Looking to weigh down hop bags in boiler or dry hopping
Prefer stainless rather than marbles but they might work as well

I'm looking for the same thing, but then I thought I might use  ceramic baking beans. I've been looking up to see if they're suitable.

You can get decorative balls for stainless steel handrails but they have a threaded hole in them. You could plug the hole with a stainless bolt.

Ooh thanks I could plug with food grade silicon that 500g ball

It does not have to be round so any stainless steel fittings will do as its weight you need :)

Marbles? Most toy shops will sell you a bag of steelys or ollies.

Keep this up and our ratings will go sky high as people searching viagra will find us :D. Did ye know the old cold war had the Russians and Americans trying to outdo each other on all things big. The Russians sent an order to the Americans for condoms with a 2 meter diameter and 6 meters long. The Americans made up the order and sent it back in boxes marked medium. >:D
