boiler where from

[dps]

as i can not make a boiler.as i am no good at diy stuff like that
so my wife said she would buy one as a birthday present..
so any idea on where from and the cost of one.
she did not say what she would pay up to.for one...?

£99 for a 40l Buffalo boiler from Nisbets

sometimes a bit less from their Ebay clearance store for a slightly damaged one

Read up on Buffalo problems on here before buying one of these, mine worked fine as it is but I wouldn't tell you to buy one without a warning that not everyone's does

Got my stainless 50 litre (using gas) from Hop and Grape http://www.hopandgrape.co.uk/public/cat ... EW20245868

I went for the stainless ball valve option with stainless hop strainer £110 all in!

Very friendly people :thumb:

Plastic one here if you want to keep the cost down:

The cost isn't far off what the bits would cost you if you went on the DIY route

i had one of them for my first boiler, nothing wrong with that one.

i would like a ss of about 30Lt. but i don't know if the wife's purse will open that wide..
so may have to go plastic

I'm considering getting one myself, nice to know they're OK.

Don't forget that you can buy malt extract in bulk (25kg) http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/aca ... syrup.html

With this you have access to a range of recipes without needing a mash tun etc. Sort of a half-way house between kits and All Grain mash brewing. You simply add malt extract to the boiler with water and add hops and certain grains to adjust the taste and style, boil for the required period, cool down and then into the FV.

It would get you started whilst you amass the AG kit. That's what I'm doing, plus it gives me a chance to get my boil/fermentation/conditioning skills up to speed so I've less to worry about once I take the leap into AG.

I agree and think this is probably the way I want to go, my DIY skills are not the best :whistle: and this boiler (I think) allows me to 'throw' all the ingredients in together :shock: :lol: before transfering to my FV.

I have the basic brewing equipment for kits, would I need anything else? Muslin bags? :
