I have been brewing extract for a while and just attempted my first all grain with the 19L BIAB (DJ Nick method ish). My sparge technique was crap so my efficiency was pretty terrible ~50% so I just bumped it up with some extract..
Got me looking more into all grain though and I am trying to design a very cheap all grain system with stuff I already have.
My design is per the attached, I have semi broken 6L pressure cooker I want to use for the HLT a 60L esky for the mash tun and then the 19L pot for the kettle. I was planning on hacking the pressure cooker and wiring in a STC1000 with the element to control the temps. I also have some perforated SS to make a false bottom in the esky.
Stuff I dont have yet, coppper tube, some valves and fittings, and wort pump (was thinking about $15 ebay one..)
Am I missing anything here?
Will 6L be enough sparge water for 19L brews
I am open to suggestions just want to keep it pretty cheap.
Thanks in advance!
