Hi guys,
Hope I'm not re-posting anything, but I couldn't see it anywhere obvious - and this isn't really a build thread just yet. I'm only in the initial planning stages right now.
Has anyone seen this? http://www.instructables.com/id/Fully-Automated-All-Grain-Electric-Beer-Brewery-fo/
One of the main reasons stopping me from getting into all-grain brewing is the upfront equipment cost. As well as appealing to my DIY hobby, this seems to solve that problem quite well. Not sure I'd jump into the whole automation part beyond temp control, but who knows... I can cross that bridge when I get to it.
The first major problem I'm having is finding a 60L polypropyleen bucket. I'm not sure if it necessarily needs to be polypropyleen, but it certainly needs to be food-grade (which I think means it's then capable of withstanding the required temperatures by default). Does anyone know where I can source a bucket like this in Aus? I'm in Canberra specifically.
The rest of the parts seem relatively straight forward, but do you guys see any problems with the proposed project straight off the bat?
Cheers.
