Following on from another thread that I just read and hopefully this will help someone other than myself.
I am slowly getting together the equipment needed for my first mini mash.
So far I have:
20L SS pan
SS Sieve
Digital scales
SS whisk and spoon
I already own a big old square esky which is around 35L and a basic fermentation set up. Also I am looking to gather some glass bottles and have 20 Grolsch flip tops and several 375ml ones but as yet no caps or capper. I looked at camping type gas (butane) burners today at kmart and they were $20 for a single burner set up and 6 cannisters of gas were a suprisingly cheap $6 - the only thing that held me back was the BTU rating of 7,200 which I need to confirm will heat and be able to be easily and quickly regulated when needed. SWMBO has put her foot down on me cooking exotic beers in her kitchen!
I want to have all the gear ready for my first brew day so as I dont get caught with my pants down so to speak and am running to the usual tight budget so may need a week or 3 to get it all together but have already cleared it with SWMBO.
So, what am I missing and is it essential?
