What else do I need?

[Tony C]

Hi Tony, I built my rig some 5 years ago, using a 30 liter food grade plastic bin, using 2 Tesco Value kettle elements, a 1/4 turn ball valve and about 1/2 a meter of copper pipe. This rig has just clocked up 100 brews, using it as the HLT and the boiler, works just fine.

Thats my kinda setup lol
What's the copper pipe for?
If I am going to try brew enough, each batch, for two kingkeg barrels. I do need to take the transfer from one container to the next into consideration, may not be too bad, but are any inline drill type pumps, that are food grade available to help?

Hi Tony, it’s the pickup from inside of the bin to feed the tap. Just standard 15mm pipe, flatten/closed off at the end, and then I drilled a load of small 1mm holes in the downward facing face - acts as a filter to stop hops getting into the FV. I’m lucky enough to have 3 levels in my brew shed, so I can use gravity to transfer, so can’t help with your pump question.
