[barryham]

i have a option to buy a bruheat 25 lit boiler for approx £70 or i can buy a large 30lt stock pot for £45 but it would be on my cooker im in this for the long term so i dont want to buy one then six moths later have to buy another one


any help on this would be great thanks barry

With a 25ltr boiler you will find yourself limeted to 20ltr brew lenghts. if you get yourself a 30ltr stock pot and a couple of kettle element the you can brew 25ltr brews easy. i personly would get the largest you can.

Buy the stock pot and put some cheap kettle elements in.

Both CB and BB are right!
The only other consideration is that you do get a fairly accurate pulsed thermostat with the Bruheat which can be used on other boilers/HLT's.
