100l Shiney boiler - what are my options?

[BrotherMalice]

I was talking about shineys with the wife yesterday :shock: and showed her the pot I want to buy and she asked if I couldnt just buy a ready made one?

I have had a bit of a google and not come up with much ready made? - I want to go electric as I plan to brew in doors rather than in the garden...

Check out the Malt Miller website

Thats where I was looking when I showed her the pot :)

Nothing electric on there though

Going to have a "Brewing Shed" but dont fancy using gas in there...

I have brewed in the house before and it was like a bloody sauna!

I dont think you will find a totally out of the box solution from small suppliers as in order to sell an electrical device there are all sorts of hoops to jump thru,

Tho sellers like the malt miller will cut element holes to your specification in boilers you buy from them, so you can fit your own elements at your own risk

tho tis 50l pot is on ebay right now..

Found this:

just shy of £200 with 2 elements fitted - its the cheapest I have found so far, anyone used them before?

I bought a false bottom from these guys on wednesday and got a phone call yesterday to confirm the sizes. So, they seem pretty good to me. Will its like when it arrives....
Have you thought of asking someone on here or the other forum to make one for you? I still need to get 2 hole saws so i can begin putting my brewery together, if I don't bugger it and it comes out ok I might be able to help you out. But that won't be for a while yet.

John at the H&G has always been at the forefront of bringing UK home brewers what they want and has moved very quickly to supply stainless and the excellent Blichmann gear.
Have no fear from buying from the H&G, service is usually superb IME
