Hi Guys,
So I put down my first all grain last weekend. Bubbling away nicely in my fridge.
Couple of things that I've learnt.
1. My 15lt stockpot just isn't big enough to boil water.
2. I badly need a pump.
3. I need thread to attach my manifold to my Lauter Tun. (If it had come apart during use and not just during cleaning we would have had a much worse situation).
Anyway so first one first.
Has anyone ever used one of those big white plastic food grade buckets for a HLT? I can get them for nothing you see.
I also think I should be able to get an immersion heater for not a lot if not for free. I already have a temperature controller so I would have an exact temperature..
Which brings us to the pump. Looks like I should have that one solved. I've been offered some direct from china for $10 + freight. 8 Lt per minute food grade withstand temperature and so forth.
3rd one is obvious. I'll just have to fix it.
