Hi from WA
by baders » Mon Dec 17, 2018 1:55 pm
Gidday all. Looking forward to learning from here and elsewhere. It's a fascinating hobby to be sure. Experimented with a small Chinese pot still with mixed success but will be getting a Brewhaus 8 gallon pot as the next step and really interested in AG and flavours and nuances. I'm an electrical engineer/sparky/process tech so hopefully can contribute to that aspect and have made my own controller (yet to be tested). Anyways, cheers !

G'day mate and welcome aboard :greetings-waveyellow:
My advice would be to have a read around here before making any purchases. The rig your looking at may well be a great rig and the best one for you but wouldn't hurt to see some other options and what others think of them before buying anything, nothing worse that realising 3 months down the track you should've bought something different.
Good luck mate :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome from another Sandgroper. Please check out the 5 Star Store before making a still decision. Great gear, great service. I had no choice other than to go for a T500 but there are better.

Welcome baders! :greetings-waveyellow:
Like the others have said, do pleanty of reading before you buy and the newbies corner is a great starting point.. its easy to rush into it and buy something overpriced or even worse, a rig that doesn't do what you thought it would or should do.
Good luck with finding your exact path to take!

Thanks all. Let's just say that the Brewhaus landed in my lap for the proverbial "song". Probably just another step I realise, but enjoyable just the same in learning the craft.
