I'm about to do a "Full Strength, Full Stovetop Brew" (20L) with the same equipment for those who've done this sort of Mini Stovetop and want to see another version/approach to a full scale stovetop. It's basically high-gravity brewing, which suits Aussie Lagers.
I'll do a Carlton Clone because it's nice and simple, to go along with the other great guides on stovetop AG.
I've made a more printer friendly version of this because I wanted to read it while in the kitchen and didn't want to have my laptop near all that steam and liquids.
Big thanks to Nick for making this guide for all us K&Kers who are too scared to move on up to AG.
Bum, if I pissed you off as well as helping some people learn to make beer from grain then, well, you know I'm just so happy I'm lost for words.
You get the Easter Bunny with the Pancake on its Head, Award of the Year.
Cheers, zoidbergmerc.
Man, this thread's got some persistence.

Well, I would, but unfortunately I only have a red bucket.
I highly recommend you pop down to Bunnies and rectify this situation. Red buckets are Satan's containers and should never be used for clandestine brewing.

Not specifically sure about Sydney but if you have a good asian grocer nearby they may sell large stock pots at a very good price.
Good idea, Ill have a look around.Not specifically sure about Sydney but if you have a good asian grocer nearby they may sell large stock pots at a very good price.
I'm on gas so not I'm terribly worried about that at this point, in fact I can't even get it turned low enough to simmer stuff!I think the limit to being able to hold a rolling boil on the bigger electric elements might be about 25L (with ~18L in it). That said, I haven't tried any bigger - you might be able to rolling boil 40L on a stovetop ... those big elements must be a kilowatt or two. Some maths geek could probably calculate how many watts are needed for the volume.
The 19L pots work beautifully if you can find one. Tried KMart?
