Disabled brewer seeking advice

@fireworkmaster I can send you an Excel spreadsheet I used to estimate my water requirements when I was doing small batch brews. You will need to estimate your evaporation rate or just use the value I got using a large stock pot.

Thx @Chippy_Tea Hallow m8 @fireworkmaster.
If you can either PM me (never a problem) or i'll try my best to sift through whats what.
Think what you said and the advice given, the way ahead is small batches. I loved my experiments on Carboys.
Wheelchair bound, everthing lower and accessable.
Is no probs with your arms?
One suggestion, if you get a small fridge & make it into a fermentaion fridge.
Get a Brewbucket Mini (ok not cheap, but last for ever)
Think they up to 13L.

The beuty you may ask ref. the weight.
As long as you can the batch into it (i spend years prove of consept lol )addapting tools etc.
Fermination, dry hop, cold crashing no problems.
The key is getting the beer out via grafity into bottling bucket.
After the boil & whirlpool, i always use one o these badgers.

Armed with one o theres.

Another view lower down, when i wasnt able to stand up.

Even the placca FV's can be used.

This is the 27l Brewbucket.

Wheelchair view in my old brewery.

A beer kit the other year.

right ill stop here, canny novel.
Where about are you?
Pity if you were near i could get one o my minis over to and other kit.
And hatch a plan.
Never a problem take care.

Thankyou for the detailed reply and great pics , arms and brain still function just lol.
It's the rest of me that needs replacing ( RoboCop but with mobile brewery inbuilt will do plz ) .
Like you I've become fairy good at adapting and rejigging things , I was eyeing up one of the brew kettles ( might have to earn some brownie points with the good lady first ) .
Hoping to get a brew fridge next year as I'll have power in the shed then.
Luckily being Devon based and by the coast it's rare we get very cold temps.
Hopefully I can store my brews in the shed lol.
Today's job building some beer crates got 1and half of anouther done before body was like nope that's your lot.
Ah well
Cheers
