I Think I Went Crazy On The Kettle

[absinthe]

well i got my new kettle today.. and drilled holes in it

now time for some large batches of beer

(it has passed quality control by "snots" the brew cat)

That cat won't cook itself. Put some water in, get the lid on and get it on the burner.

 

[Daniel.lear]

hmm.. might need to add an occy strap across the lid or at least a couple of bricks or it'll push it's way out....


Just kidding... :icon_cheers:

I was interested in that one too Screwy. With my 100L kettle I went for the return back to the edge( on the advice of a couple of brewers) so I can get all the wort I can.

You will need 2 x occy straps. One for the lid and one to put in the water with the cat.

Boil them both for 1hr, throw away the water and the cat and eat the occy strap.

Thought you'd use the occy strap to strangle the cat, for that true english flavour

 

[absinthe]

come on nuh with the kitty bashing
save that for the bed room lol

the pick up is just a test rig to see how it goes, got some pics of your pick up tubes?

No.... you use EKG and fuggles for that

By the way...... love the kettle! I really REALLY want one like it.

You may have problems with that pickup blocking, depending on how close it is to the base. I would recomend getting a false bottom and running the pickup through it like a mash tun..... they work really well and if you drain slow will hold up 90% of hop pellets.


cheers

Funny cat jokes eh, but my brewery cat is great at catching mices that are trying to eat holes in my grain bags.
Plus I am a Geelong supporter

i got it from allquip , the pickup tube is easy to change, the hops will be in a bag, so they shouldnt be a problem anyway, i put it to the side so i could whirlpool better and leave some trub behind..

 

[Cocko]

i got it from allquip ,

120L ?

Scored mine from ebay when allquip were listing for $175.. value+ IMO.


Also, I would be using HEAPS of coriander with Cat.. trust me
