    20l Stovetop All Grain Aussie Lager

    Taking some advice, NickJD. By eliminating non food grade plastic at a relatively cheap cost I thought. I will buy another 19litre stainless steel pot, and drill holes in the bottom to make it more food safe. Use it the same as the bucket idea to sparge the grain. But wont kill me in the long...

    Very sticky he states after attempting 6 kilos of grain in a 10 litre bucket, is when the bigger plastic bucket idea came about. The mopping was great fun lol.

    Are you able to prove/disprove that the 10 litre buckets people buy to dunk sparge in are not? Minimal contact mind you. I have known people to ferment in these bins. Any thoughts or valid information otherwise which I cannot find would be useful! Cheers Rae

    No idea who yasmani is. Dare I ask why I am a troll? The ideas I provide are as an amateur brewer, as in the amateur thread. I don't force people to view my idea, they can simply take it or leave it. But elaboration would be appreciated. The drilled holes arent in contact with the timber as it...

    Cheers for the advice. Im prepared for a bit of trial and error. I was gonna post this on the 20 litre biab guide. Stuff the small bucket. 8 dollar bunnings bin. Holes in the bottom. Easy to sparge a few litres over the grain. What do you think? Cheers. Rae
