The beginnings of My Brewery

[aeddon]

Does exactly what is says on the tin. Its the beginning of the all grain brewery. I brought a cool box but couldnt resist the a 25lt insulated tea urn from the bay. although i dint really think it through as not sure how i'm gona get a manifold in there as it has a 4in lid.

Made up the immersion chiller, making two coils inside each other using 50m of 8mm pipe and compression fittings from the grumpy guy at the plumbing centre.

I'm using a 4 gallon aluminium stock pot for now. I want to make a fair few different beers in small batches to experiment. maybe upgrade in time. It takes about an hour on top of the stove to heat up, need to get a boiling ring to quicken the process, and 10/15mins to cool down to 20c

I have a 27lt tea urn on the way too to make corny size batches. I quite like the idea of have a range of 2 gallon batches on the go, so brough a 2 gallon pressure barrel. I might, sorry correction, will get some of the smaller 9lt cornies but at 35 squid a pop their abit expensive. Although the 2 gallon barrels are 20 quid each!!

anyhoo, cheers for the great resource and advice. hopefully i should be able to spread the knowledge sometime soon too
