Thoughts on Brewhardware element enclosures?
These seem like elegant and inexpensive solutions. Any thoughts or criticisms?

Re: Thoughts on Brewhardware element enclosures?
Bluenose bought one and I've handled it and they're very well made. The casing is relatively thin, but as long as you aren't kicking your element during the boil it would not pose a problem in my opinion. I'm ordering the 2" tri clamp one for my keggle

Re: Thoughts on Brewhardware element enclosures?
Looks good. What's the approximate cost to build it, complete with element and power cord?

They're nice. If they were around when I built mine I defiantly would have gone that way instead.jason.loxton wrote:These seem like elegant and inexpensive solutions. Any thoughts or criticisms?

IIRC, you can get an element for aorund $25-35 on Amazon (bundle some stuff to save shipping) and 10/3 cord should be around $1.80/m from HomeDepot/etc. And then whatever you do for a plug/etc.
Consider getting a 5500W straight (ULWD) element instead of ripple if one will fit (easier to clean/remove)
These are another option, from what ive read they're a bit more solid built but also pricier. I've dealt with those guys a bunch and theyre really good to deal with tho.

I would of bought these when I put my electric sanke kegs together. I used electrical boxes glued with JB Weld. Still works fine but kind of messy looking.

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: Thoughts on Brewhardware element enclosures?
Here's another option.
I'm trying to source the components to these, but if you want them in the next month or two best go to Brewhardware or StillDragon

Re: Thoughts on Brewhardware element enclosures?
Same story as always, I'd love to, but I haven't had time to source them. Maybe I'll call Camco today.
Thanks

they're the cat's ass
brewhardware also sells the silver solder kit if you decide to go with their triclover version

Re: Thoughts on Brewhardware element enclosures?
I am on a strictly enforced "no new toys till you defend your dissertation" brew gear buying embargo, so I am just window shopping right now. No group order leadership from me. Sorry.
I second other people's request for electric gear, Dave. Would rather give you money, and trust your judgement on quality components.

Re: Thoughts on Brewhardware element enclosures?
Dave, there is NO electric brewing stuff in ANY of the online Canadian stores currently. If you got into it, you'd stand out from the crowd and meet a big demand.EverwoodAveBrewShop wrote:Same story as always, I'd love to, but I haven't had time to source them. Maybe I'll call Camco today.

IMHO.

Re: Thoughts on Brewhardware element enclosures?
Anyone have any experience with shipping to Canada from still dragon? I'm a bit sketched out by the "shipping invoice to follow" idea. The price is definitely right for their enclosure and it is supposed to be very well made.

Re: Thoughts on Brewhardware element enclosures?
I almost bought one awhile ago, I emailed them first and they told me how much for shipping (I can't find the email at the moment). It was pretty much the norm.
It says they use USPS flat rate boxes mostly ($19 or $40 usually where it fits). It says you can cancel and they'll refund if you dont like the shipping quote either.
