EOI - Urn group buy, vic (to start off with)

[leighaus]

Urn group buy for those new to biab...

At this point I'm looking to see how many numbers are interested before I put in the hard yards..

I'm not even sure if we would fare much better as a group buy, but if I can get a rough figure of interested people, i can put the feelers out..

Either birko or crown, depending on majority.

I'd be interested. I'm looking for a 30 liter or so. Doesn't matter exposed or concealed element.

 

[leighaus]

Will must likely chase 40l so we can do full single batch, once we factor in boil off etc . also not fussed over exposed or concealed

 

[Mardoo]

Cool. I'll definitely be paying attention to this EOI.

 

[leighaus]

if it doesnt muster at least 10 nods, it wont be worth investigating.

 

[Mardoo]

Yep, we seem to be nodding mostly at each other...it's echoey in here.

Here's what seems a pretty good deal on eBay for a new 30 liter one I've been looking at. He used to carry a 50L or 60L one but I didn't see it looking at his eBay sale items just now. That one needed a 15 amp circuit. It looked a beast, concealed coil, good sight glass, all stainless, etc.

What size brew do you plan on producing with a 30l urn? Have you allowed for boil off and the actually product boiling and the weight of your grains taking up space also? I was under the impression you needed a 40l to produce your 21 brews ?

 

[Mardoo]

Plan on using it as a HLT, not doing full brews in it.

 

[leighaus]

Roger that!

You could squeeze out a 21l batch on a 30l unit. I make 27l batches on a 40l without an issue.
