Hi everyone, have just joined the forum. I wonder if anyone can advise?
Have been using my trusty bruheat boiler for mashing & boiling successfully for some years though involved a lot of faffing around. Unfortunately the tap seems to have perished and leaking copiously! Have tried using standard plastic taps but they fit badly. On ringing local homebrew shops found bruheat boilers no longer made and spare parts hard to find.
If anyone knows of anything I can do to keep it going , or advise on a suitable alternative I'd be grateful. I notice on a lot of boilers the manufacturers advise not suitable for mashing. Only reason I can think of is possible charring of the grain against the elements but I never really found that a problem .
