Crundle:
Cannibal Smurf should be getting my Urn brewday onto Youtube but has a bit of a backlog of family footage he needs to do first so for starters here's a bit of a run through, showing just the gear and obviously no ingredients happening here now
Urn: 40L Birko around $300. Get the 2400w model, the more powerful one needs a 15amp socket so you'll need to get a sparky in. The 2400 heats up just fine. Bag - 1.5 m Swiss Voile from Spotlight, a local sewing lady made mine up for me, total cost about $18
Heat up about 35L of water to 68 degrees if you are aiming for a 66 degree mash. Add grain in a THIN stream, we got some doughballs that required vigorous paddling.
Switch the urn off, no extra heating required, cover and wrap in a doonah - I've got a real feather one that I got from Woolies for about $20 during the winter - and strap it and just walk away for an hour. Mine drops only a degree in an hour.
Hoist the bag and let it drain and squeeze it as well, while the urn is heating to boiling, won't take too long. (awning pulley $5 is attached to that beam using brickie's line so it can handle 15 K no probs, just looks alarming :lol: )
Hop additions etc, suspend a hop bag (Ross about $19) and use the urn as a boiler.
I'm struggling to get my 24 litres into the bottle and going to do some tweaking and fine tuning as I fully realise that I am at the limit of the equipment for the beers I am aiming for, but for a keg brew... mate it's tailor made for you.
Hope this points you in the right direction. Oh and don't even think of a 30L , for the extra few bucks a 40L will pay for itself many times over.
