Cheap vs Expensive Shiny ?

[Pjam]

I'm upgrading the plastic. Is a nice S/S worth the extra cost. £137 vs £200 aprrox

What are you changing.

 

[Pjam]

I'll keep the plastic Mash Tun and was considering Electric HLT and an S/S kettle (gas). What do you think?

 

[terrym]

Others can help you on that. I only do stove top BIAB.

 

[Pjam]

Nothing wrong with that :)

 

[Druncan]

Yup, BIAB in a 50l Brewbuilder one pot on a Buffalo ind hob. No elements to burn and scrub

Yeah burning elephants is definitely a bad thing...

It didn't stop all those kebab shops with the rotating elephants leg grilling in the back of the shop.

Greasy meat, onions,cabbage,tomato and lashings of hot chilli sauce and garlic sauce...the food of the drunk!

Sorry to hijack this thread I think that you should buy what you can afford. Sometimes cheap is ok if you don't expect to use it that often but quality always lasts (hopefully).

 

[Pjam]

Yes, I hoped you wouldn't say that but I'm pretty sure your right ....... shame though.

I want Shiny but the lockdown brewers have bought the lot

I'm looking to set myself up with a shiny-shiny three pot system but it seems impossible to get my hands on anything at the moment.
As Pjam mentioned, I'll just kick my heels until the madness subsides and then set myself up.
I'm in no hurry, my keezer is (sort of) full.

Brewbuilder still have their 5 gallon mini FV in stock at this time. They also have the 50 litre flat bottom variety if you want bigger and don't mind paying for the tri-clamp fittings (I have the 33l version that's currently out of stock). I can't recommend an SS fermenter enough - totally inert to wort/beer, airtight and sparkling clean for each use.
