Hey all,
Trying to work out a second brew rig, purely for single batches.
I Currently have a keggle which i can use, but it has a big socket welded in it and in that is the dreaded keg king element.
It is currently setup with a little brown pump to recirc the wort and has a stainless mesh sheet with stainless bolt standoffs in it to sit a biab bag above the element.
Currently running off an auberins pid.
Not real happy with the setup and would like to utilize a Matho's brau controller, and redo the heating element to something a bit more user friendly.
Either that or I was thinking of 40L aluminum pot, with a spare 3000w round element i have spare. Possibly running as biab for simplicity.
My main rig is a 100L craftbrewer pot with a 19L malt pipe. I need to get a bigger malt pipe to run doubles on it and think i would like to leave it for doubles.
Set the new rig up as something easy to use, easy to clean and automated.
Should i salvage the keggle and redesign it somehow or go with the aluminium pot biab type setup.
Any thoughts?
