Ok, before we have the poor chap pricing up a 5BBL plant...

I have 100 litre pots, so could probably manage a 75 litre brew if I tried. However, I've never come close to this. In 26 brews, I have done 3 x 40 litre batches, and everything else has been 23 litre.

One issue is that large quantities are easy to brew, but not so easy to ferment. So when I designed the wee systems for my friends who are interested in brewing, I started with a standard-issue fermentation bucket, and worked back from there. I figured there wasn't much point filling more than 1 of those...

yup.

I'm going with a 3 vessel system then :thumb:
I don't mind heating strike and sparge separate, will probably be better for my stove to cope with.
But this does mean that I now have to get 3 fancy ss taps :wink:

Thanks pd,

And thanks everyone, I'm humbled by your help :thumb:

I'm sure i will be asking loads more once I get my pots!

[joe1002]

And.......

What ya going for?

 

[Intelekt]

Well it was an email just asking for my postcode to make a competitive offer.. So not 100% sure yet :hmm:

 

[joe1002]

Ah, keeping us in suspense :lol:

 

[Intelekt]

Do these thermo pots come with taps? Can't see any in the pic.

 

[joe1002]

I think some do and some don't. I deliberately got one without as I wanted it to be bottom draining. I then followed Vossy's excellent guide here :thumb:

 

[Intelekt]

Got a reply.

103 euros with delivery for 32.5 litre thermo and 33 litre stock pot.

Does this sound good

 

[Intelekt]

How do you pay, with PayPal?

They are a persuasive bunch on here ain't they :whistle:.

I'm still doing kits but after being on here I'm planning a brew shed

You are not joking!!!

Mines going to be more of a brew kitchen despite having a shed and garage which are full of junk!

I've took the plunge!
I've accepted their offer and I'm just waiting to pay :thumb:

Now I've got to think about false bottoms and taps and tubes and this and that :shock:

 

[joe1002]

They tell you very clearly what you have to do, but ultimately yes, you pay through Paypal.

They charged me €72.80 for a 32.5l thermopot delivered, so yeah, sounds a good price to me :thumb:

 

[joe1002]

I got my FB from hop & grape, without handles & legs. They gave it to me a bit cheaper than advertised because of that :thumb:

 

[Intelekt]

Just paid 103 euros for both pots delivered, woohoo brewery phase two initiated :party:

I'll check out hop and grape now :

I thought this was going to be about going blind from drinking moonshine.
