Hey all,
I have an old keggle that I used to BIAB 23L batches on, with an over the side element (now lost) and I'd really appreciate some advice about whether to improve or go new.
I'm not entirely sure of it's total volume, but I'd put it at about 60L - 70L; it's a weird shape though:
In the very near future I'll be moving to a bigger place with a garage or shed and am planning on having a 20A (or higher) circuit put in, so that I can brew with some power; at least 3500W.
I'm wanting to stay with single vessel brewing, maybe with a 19L pot malt pipe and PID control etc.
Basically, I'm trying to decide whether it's worth spending time and money on to get it to where I want, or should I just buy a new pot (or even a Grainfather). SS pots are expensive and if this saved some $ I'd be happy.
It's pretty grimy, but here are a few pics.
( a weird raised, but concave bottom section )
( Silicon bung in center doesn't leak )
( Poor thing needs some love )
If anyone has any input I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!
