I have the 70ltr shiny brewery setup but want to get more into doing my own recipes and understanding the different tastes of hops, what go together etc. I cannot afford to risk the time or cost of a full day of AG brewing.
I need to do this via a trial size brew of 10ltr or even 5 ltr brew and it needs to be a nice and simple quick brewday as not going to the get permission to do these and the normal big brews very easily.
I have two Oxfam food safe buckets so thinking I could stick a kettle element in one of those for a boiler and then use the other as the mashtun maybe ?
I guess I would still need to boil for at least 60 minutes though ?
Does anyone else do small trail brews and what setup do you use ?
PS. Only had 1 day off from work or DIY this year, :cry: Used that day to brew 46 ltr of Black sheep style ale.
