Only got R996B's and 9400 Liebherr's here, I really don't like them much. I'm partial to the 1250's myself, nice quick digger.

why ? for boiling what ?

:think:

if it's the still mount your thinking is blocked it isnt, it's a gin caddy for some copper mesh like the eliminator has :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Nahh, sorry I mean the liquid level gauge up the side (at least I think that's what it is)
I know the one on one of my old AG boilers just gunked up really quickly and I couldn't see anything through it after a few batches, so I buggered it off (only have on on the HLT now)

I still need to figure pricing mate, this thing cost me a fortune & I need to make a couple of minor changes before releasing them..... but I can get them in in 4 to 5 weeks from date of payment :handgestures-thumbupleft: unlike other boilers that need sea freighting that can take around 12 weeks :crying-blue:

Calm down champ, you can have the first of the next lot that come.... but I cant figure pricing until I get the freight bill from TNT :handgestures-thumbupleft:

They'll be around the 2k mark, so not for everyone..... but they can be used as a boiler, HLT & mash tunn with a tweak here n there :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I've just added a few new products to our web store we havnt held as stock before.

Plenty of gear from tri clamp pipe to silicone seals, clamped ball valves and a range of other stuff too.

I still have much more to add but that'll do for today, make sure you check regularly as the xmass build up continues and more products being added almost daily :D

Hope you're all having a great long weekend, I might bugger off for a few hours see if I can get some nice herring for bait for next time Bushy & I head out deep after dhuies again :D

The tri clamp pipes at multiple lengths is a great addition Mac, combine with a couple of 3/4 elbows and get your parrot where you want it. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

had it all for a while now, just never had the chance to add to the store :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Now we have such an excellent Admin/mod team I'm free to get all the FSD things done, and hopefully not be such a snappy prick all the time :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Some big moves happening with FSD over the next few weeks, We'll have some very big announcements to make " SOON " :D
