Wanted 40l Boiler or BIAB start up

sandbachbru · Nov 25, 2015

Hi,
Looking for Ideally a buffalo 40l boiler to start having a go at BIAB after using kits for a while. Unfortunately just missed out on two on here!

Thanks for looking!

The HBC setup is a good entry level kit and dont forget you can get a 5% discount from this forum!

Is 40l the ball park you want??

and do you have preference between leccy or Gas?

sandbachbru · Nov 26, 2015

Yeah I am planning on trying BIAB and from my research 40l seems best so it doesn't boil over, although I have no experience so happy to be corrected. I would prefer leccy!

Thanks, tysan I'll look into it!

Currently ÃÂ£120 on Amazon but others have had good results on ebay. I've got a Buffalo and it's good, but it may be worth looking at some of the BIAB starter kits if you need a chiller, bag, etc too. There are issues with getting a good boil with the Buffalo so you will need to modify it.

This is the BIAB starter kit tyson is referring to, very good value, includes one of their 'all grain mashkits' for your firt brew:

Worth adding this hop stariner for the Peco boiler - without it the tap clogs when you try to empty your wort afer the boil into a FV:

Don't forget the 5% discount if you do order from the HBC.

Its a 33 litre bucket and I didn't have any issue with boil over. Others have reported the simple on/off heater element can be a little too aggressive but I didn't have any issues - it was just a nice steady rolling boil for me.

watch the price on the HBC boiler kit, if you use the link in the deal of the week its ÃÂ£10 cheaper than the link Spapro posted, for some reason theres 20% off on the deal of the week instead of 10% , if you then add the 5% site discount youl ge the kit for about ÃÂ£76.. i purchased the same thing about a month ago and its great value for the money.. the deal of the week has been running for at least a month that i know of... lol

heres the other link

it might also be slighty cheaper if you order it from the irish site..

Does that setup work well for BIAB? Looks perfect for just starting off!

yea.. thats exactly what its for, it comes with a brew bag, wort chiller, bucket with a tap and the heating element and of course the beer kit of your choice.

you will need some hosepipe adapters for the wort chiller and some hop bags but other than that its all there

ive done 2 biab brews now and the starter kits been fine.. bargain at ÃÂ£76 inc delivery...

sandbachbru · Nov 26, 2015

I may very well just do that then - seems to be ideal for what I'm after! How do you get the forum discount?

Chippy_Tea · Nov 27, 2015

Look in the announcement forum.

That code doesn't seem to be working - unfortunate as I had all my stuff in the basket ready to pay for! :doh:

Mickeywheelspin · Nov 27, 2015

Don't think you need a code - it's an open to all deal so should be applied automatically?

sandbachbru · Nov 27, 2015

I see ordered now! very exciting!

Which mash kit did you go for ?

Good luck with it, a very good value kit and can brew some wonderful beer

sandbachbru · Nov 27, 2015

I went for the citra IPA - always like the citra beer you can buy in bottles so excited to give it a go! Shame I brought 2 tins of extract the other day but guess I can try them when time is short!
