Yorky 309 Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I believe The guy that was making them got shut down because they were unsafe, the bucket although food grade was not once it was heated, the silicone that was used to seal where the element was inserted was not food grade & they were not electrically safe. A few of the stores that had them were told that they faced fines if they continued to sell them. One of the problems you face buying from back yardies Cheers Yorky southie THE BANGA, David_C, hoopsy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Boiling water in one of those 20lt buckets sounded a bit dodge . Many fellow homebrewers swear by the 19lt stockpots from BigW for $20. Not much more to bore a hole, install a element-either with a flange seal or appropriate silicon. Meppstas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David_C 768 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I've got a converted beer keg that does the job for me ☺ Does 40 with any issues and only use it to steam crabs now (once you've steamed them, you'll never boil them again). jackmac and hoopsy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Panga 1,484 Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Correct Chief Love the mustard. This is where Hoopsy and I disagree (with respect to both) So when we crab together we have to spit the catch and process his way but I usually end up with the shells and "guts" for burley , to be frozen then run through the MUNCHER for KGW at a later date. All good at the end of the day. Respect both ways, just a lot of banter BarneyB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
