Is There An Easy Way To Join Two Bigw Pots?

[philmud]

Quick question re: using a 50L keg for BIAB, do you make a lid out of the top of the keg? If not, is it a PITA keeping a consistent mash temp?

You can make a lid or just buy a glass one from target, kmart, bigw or ikea and cut the size of the lid.

:lol: Just like at the end of an Elvis concert in the 70's, Ross has left the building & moved on about 25 replies ago.

Thankyou & goodnight.

Thankyou very much.......

I just unsubscribed, took a step back and evaluated the situation from a better standpoint. I can't believe it's still going and shows up in the recent thread list.

For all those who took the time to offer sensible advice, I owe you a response. Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.

I did what I said I was going to do and observed another brewers process. This has given me the basis for a simple setup that will suit my situation and budget restraints.
Yes I can go out and buy a heap of new equipment, but I'm choosing not to. To be quite honest, I'm pretty sure no one will care about the look of my setup except the people on a forum such as this. If the beer tastes bad, that's a different story.
In regards to joining the two pots together, I've looked into it and it would not be a difficult task if done correctly. All in all about a 20min job if you have the right gear on hand.
However, I have decided to move away from this approach as it seems unnecessary. A gasket from my local gasket maker and a few DIY clips would do a better job but there is an easier way it seems.
My approach at this stage is to use the three BigW pots on hand to create a mini bastardised rig that will pack down into a small space and be useful for other things like cooking mudcrabs ( that's what I keep telling myself at least).
The rig will require another bucket which I can deal with. Apart from that, all I really want is to brew a single 20-25l batch with the possibility of half batches for experimentation.
