90 Litre Boiler

[Batz]

I have joined the Jayse and the Dicko brewers and added a 90 lt boiler to my brewery

Double batches here we go

Jeez Batz, I bet you badly regret giving away your 80 l kettle for nix! But you cant have it back now, I had 55 l boiling in it today. And for the first time ever had a boil that kind of got close to a boilover. Took 26 mins from a cooled sparge temp to boiling, NASA burners rock! Anyway, what a great site this is with a bunch of helpful guys, poor old Batz was so helpful he gave me a kettle that he ended up having to replace for $140! And mine is heavy gauge stainless, and his is that forgetfully stuff!

I got my 60 litre ally pot for $99. From memory the quote for the $90 litre was around $140-$150.

I measured the inner SS liner of a dishwasher slated for the bin at work today... 147L - close enough to 150L

I think i'm doing to have to load that sucker into my van :super:

That's giving me the horn, batz. So are you going to get rid of that scrawny 60L job in the background?

Hi Batz,
Top pics.
I am pleased with my 90 litre kettle and the "Nasa" gets a boil going on a 65 litre wort that you wont believe.
The extra diameter means that you lose a bit more to evaporation (boil off ) but I have never had clearer beers since using the new kettle and being able to really get the boil happening.
I lose 13 litres in a one hour boil as opposed to 8 litres from a 50 litre stainless vessel, but if you calculate that in to your beersmith/promash it is not a worry.
Good brewing

Just when we thought we were real brewers (with our soon to be delivered March pumps) you now have to up the ante , when will it ever end. I can see Australia having the most microbreweries in the world at this rate .

Cheers

Have you lifted the ******* off to clean it yet? Actually I guess your ali one might not weigh that much, but carrying the stainless steel version with 3 l of hop spooge to the garden takes the gloss off a bit.
