Hey ferg - there are a quite a few people who use hot water to cut down on heating time/expense. So long as you are satisfied that the hot water is safe/tastes alright then there is no problem. Thomas - that sounds good but couldn't I just use the relief valve and save me some plumbing...

Hi all Just wondering how people get their kettle water from their hot water tank. I have a standard electric hot water system with a temperature control valve on the outlet so that the water temp from my hot water taps is around 45 degC. I would like to get at the 60 degC water in the tank but...

Thanks for all the input guys. In the end I managed to 'aquire' a ss pub keg and bought a $40 100mm grinder (with 20 disks included yay!). It took 3.5 cutting disks and 1 grinding disk to cut the top out and took about 30 mins. To anyone considering doing this as well as the obvious hearing/eye...

Thanks for the replies guys. Sounds like using a big plastic container with a heating element to boil with would be a cheap way of starting up to see if I like the brewing game. What are the disadvantages of doing it this way? Are there any downsides to using an element compared to a gas...

Hi After a few days worth of sifting through the info on the AHB site (awesome site BTW) I have decided to start a brew house for shits and giggles over the holidays. I have decided on BIAB / No Chill brew method, single batches (22L fermenter) and so now am thinking about what equipment I...
