Stainless boilers

[goodly dudscrew]

I dont know if these will be big enough, but ALDI will be selling some 8.8 litre stainless steel boilers soon at 30 quid each.

Two would cost 60 quid, would two boilers be adequate for brewing, there is a three year guarantee on them.

Talking of guarantee's , did you know that all the new gear you by that says it has a 12 month guarantee on it, is buncom, under EU law they have to give you a 2 year guarantee, but British retailers are not informing their customers of this.

Here's where most of us get out stainless boilers/mash tuns

Yep..That's where my 3 have come from :thumb: My Mash Tun is an 80 Litre Thermobox and I have just bought 2 x 70 Litre Stock Pots for my HLT and Copper for my New GAS Brewery!! (Which is still in its early stages...BUT..Will post picts when complete in about 2 weeks time...That's if my Silicone Pipe arrives as promised :lol:

They could work but as At pointed out their is your best bet, If you think 8.8 litre pot boiling will loose say 1 1/2 to 2 litres of liquid over the boil you will get may be 12 to 13 litres of wort at the end using 2 of them small pots it will also make the brew much harder to actually do.

Ohh look 70 litre boil pot for next to nothing....

Sale of Goods Act provides manufacturers guarantee their work for 6 years, it's just after the first year you have to pay for inspection/repair to prove it was their fault. But don't worry, we'll be bringing it down to 2 years soon enough in the interests of harmonisation.

Dont bother with small pots. Waste of time and hops and generally its more trouble than its worth.
