Looking for: Stainless Steel Mesh Basket

Post by mcgster » Wed Nov 25, 2015 9:50 am

Does anyone know a local (maritime or canadian) source to get a custom stainless steel mesh basket or have one fabricated.

I ripped two brew bags recently and i'm looking to replace them with a stainless basket

I don't know but if you find something a group buy may be in order.

How fine a mesh are you thinking?

I don't know about local, but you can always ship to the border (e.g., Calais) from a US manufacturer like this: https://utahbiodieselsupply.com/brewingfilters.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I've been looking into this myself...but they are expensive! I got a quote from Arbor fabricating and it was up over $400 when it was all said and done. If you find a cheaper option let me know...I would be interested in a group buy if there are some savings to be had.

Sounds like something Jimmy and Becky should get into. They have a platform ready to sell them and a great reputation worldwide. When I was on the Australian site there ware Australians and US people buying their BIAB bags. http://www.mashedin.beer/collections/cu ... a-bag-biab" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You can try to contact this seller on aliexpress, I am pretty sure they would make one for you reasonably cheap.

I just bought a hop filter from them for my grainfather that I am pretty happy with.

Took around 2 weeks to Iceland. This seller sells directly from a factory in China, so their english is a bit broken, but I didn't have any issues.

Might be worth contacting these guys. They have international shipping with USPS and reasonable prices.

I was quoted $250 + $55 shipping US from Arbor. Granted mine was for my 19 Gal kettle.

Cheapest place I know of for custom fabricated stainless steel gear is Precision Enterprises in Mt Uniacke, I used to work with them quite a bit in my last job. For a 1 off though I'm not sure it would end up being worth it. Their number is 902 866 1101
Kegged:
Bottled: Chocolate Orange Stout, Barkshack Sparkling Ginger Mead, Cherry Berliner
Fermenting: Fruit (havent decided yet) Lambic
Considering: Imperial Chocolate Raspberry Stout, Fir Tip Ale

FYI - Arbor Fab was 225 plus shipping for a 12"x20" basket with 400 micron mesh and welded tabs.
