Hi, its been awhile since i did any AG brews, probably 28 years. I was the reader of the great, late, Dave Line who no doubt you all know of "brewing beers like those you buy"
i thought i would first show you my mash tun for comments as i have not tested yet;
i made the tubes a tight fit in the box as i have not soldered any. This because i wanted to test it first, also not keen to have lead in my beer, and i may need to change it if you brewers think i made error?
i used an old tap with a plumbing fitting that fitted on directly, then just a kinked 15mm tube connecting to the rest of the filter.
So that is the mash tun, i intend to test it first as it looks a bit thin on insulation.
Next i need a boiler. I am gas heating so i want stainless steel. looking at 55 litre. but will be doing 5 gallons mostly ( 23litre). i looking at these stock pots and fitting my own tap. here is were i need some guidance. which pot to go for, i mean triple bottom, 3 mm side wall fully insulated handles, seen some that have handles that are so weakly attached they cannot be used with any liquid in? also where to fit the tap, i was thinking of fitting in bottom in the centre i would need hop filter, any ideas on one of those?
Finally for the moment i need gas ring heater, these are pricey at 130 quid with shut-off valve , so can anybody suggest
Cheers
