Hi,
I'm slowly gathering the parts to get started in AG (BIAB) and have got 2 19L SS pots from BigW ($11.98ea), fermenter + accessories, digital stick thermometer, whirlfloc, and the grain, hops, hop/grain bag, etc are on the way now.
My question is actually to do with the pot(s) I'm going to be using as the boil/mash kettle. Is it possible to use an engraver to mark out the litres on the inside of the pot? Would doing this affect the pot in anyway? I'm not too worried about ruining one of the pots as they were cheap, but I would prefer not to do that. I've thought of adding a sight gauge, but seeing as my dad already has an engraver, it might be easier to just add the lines for each litre, and then add say, 5, 10, 15 at the appropriate marks.
Thanks,
Nathan
