Brewing build #1 Burco boiler safety upgrade!

Finally upgrading the tap on the Burco boiler so that the pipe for the counter flow cooler will fit far better and be less of a scalding hazard. Many thanks must go to Hapless Ginger Brew; / @haplessgingerbrew and his video on upgrading the tap on his boiler that actually gave me the kick to finally get mine started. I should really have done this about twenty years ago after the first near scalding incident but the usual complacency kicked in. Finally got round to fitting the added safety feature before a proper accident this time.

Many thanks to James of BlackMamba who has very kindly given me permission to add the music from their CD “Alive N' Violent” as a backing track to my videos. They are a Preston based heavy metal group and their music is pretty awesome. In my opinion similar in style and quality to Maiden and The Almighty among others. Great to listen to and original music and lyrics, Check them out:

I can't recommend PTFE gas tape enough, far better than the wafer thin plumbers tape, same stuff just thicker. Cheers, Schnuz.

That thing was fighting up but I knew you would get it licked. Cheers on the new upgrades. =)

'Twas a little bit of a bugger, I did assume that the silicon washers would expand and do the trick but had the PTFE gas tape on standby. Cheers, Schnuz.
