    Home Build Mash Tun/Boiler Combo (BIAB)

    Brilliant, thanks. Do you re-use the original switch for the kettle or wire it so that it's always on if it has power?

    Cool, cheers. Did you just gut kettles and re-use the components? Is there any extra control components required?

    Okay, cheers. I'm renting while I'm in the UK so modifying the flat isn't an option. What about two kettle elements on different sockets? Would I need to find ones on different fuses? Brew God, how thick are the walls on your fermenter? I think the ones on mine are at least 5mm

    Hi Guys I moved to a flat that has an electric stove top rather than gas; I figured this wasn't going to be good enough to keep stable temps for my partial mash brews. After investigating mash tuns and deciding they were rather expensive for what is essentially a chilly bin, I thought I'd have...
