Design & Kitting out my Garage Brew room - Part 2 - Brewing kit

[T.E.D.B.P]

Either way, I picked up 2 free large propane bottles yesterday, so that's all good.

I think I've got a free bathtub (to be filled with water for temperature buffer) and a cheap kitchen sink coming at the weekend. Will have to break out the B&D Workbench and start building some frames and shelves soon.

bottle crates are not only fantastic for storing and moving bottles but they also make great ad-hoc adjustable height brew platforms

I like that. I certainly need some flexibility in heights.

Hey, one question on this topic. Aerating the wort - is it enough to let the cooled water flow out of the tap at height, directly into the FV?

fwiw i sit a nylon sieve under the tap flow to further break the liquor flow and aerate a tad more.. it also catches any odd debris that may pass through your tap and filter..:

I always added water to kits from a height before getting the grainfather and it always worked. Can't really do it with the grainfather so easily so I've stirred the last two brews like buggery and it's far to much like hard work for my liking. Next time I think I'll empty into one fv then tip into another from height.

Must admit, I'd been considering some kind of drill-attachment!
