G'day lads, just after a bit of help to help an isolated soul make the leap into AG. Needless to say, it is nigh on impossible to actually speak to someone regarding their AG brewery and guide myself down the path of successful AG brewing. :huh:
I am thinking of going down the SS keg route for the HLT and kettle, with a 5 gallon rubbermaid for the mash tun. At this early stage herms isn't on the horizon, but will be no doubt once the bug kicks in.
Anyway, my questions mainly centre around the minor things, mainly
1. Taps - what size are your fittings and are they fixed or are the hoses changeable for the purposes of wort transfer etc.
2. Lines - what have you used for your lines (diameter and material) and are they just attached with standard hose clamps.
3. What have people used for the HLT - electricity or gas? any regrets?
4. How did people cut the SS kegs? I have come across angle grinder discs specifically for SS - are they are any good?
5. The fittings on the kegs - compression fittings or welded?
