Hi Dean,

These guys sell the hose http://www.inibrewsupply.com/connect/ . For information on adjustable regulators try this thread http://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/forum/topics/3-ring-burner-issues, otherwise they appear on TradeMe quite regularly. Not sure what you mean by "measuring tube thingys" do you mean site glasses to show the level in the keg?

BTW, welcome to the AG clan.

Pete.

at the moment I have just rigged them put with switches to turn them on and very temporally rigged up with hoses to test them they emptied a keg full of water in around 2 mins so will have to put a ball valve on the outlets as they are a gravity feed pump so aren't self priming. I'll have to get some pics of them tomorrow. I'm a sparky so got them for free which is better than paying 150 us for a march pump

Hi Dean

I've recently made the switch to AG brewing as well. I'm about to bottle my first brew (Lloyds Krispy Kolsch) this weekend and cant wait to taste the results! I'm not sure if you have solved your regulator issue but anyway,  I was having problems with my stock standard regulator so I bought one of these http://www.galprostylex.co.nz/shop/REGULATORS/High+Pressure+Regulat... and the difference is huge. Its adjustable up to 10 psi and I can easily maintain a really good rolling boil in 40 odd litres of water with no problem. It cost me ~$70 bucks with some hose as well. I can now brew outside on a windy day and not worry about the flame blowing out.

Cheers

Paul
