Thanks! Glad it doesn't seem silly. If it works well enough then it could become one of those temporary fixes that lasts for years. :evil: Part of the reason for all this is to drastically reduce the space all my brewing kit takes up and the facilities/services I need to brew, so not needing winches...

PP , thanks very much once again. I'd not thought how the air gap within the shroud/wind-shield would be insulation in itself, without being heated; you have a very good point there, this could be simpler than I'd imagined! I'll definitely just lash something up to begin with and see how it works o...

Your volume of 65L is good confirmation of what I'd imagined; it would come close to filling my 70L pot (potentially more if I wanted higher gravity or my efficiency was lower than expected). So my inclination would be to use the 100L pot unless th...

Many thanks PP, thats really helpful. :thumbs: As it happens, I was considering no-chill cubes, but I hadn't thought how it could help split larger batches, thats an excellent idea! Perhaps I don't really need to worry too much about sizing the kettle for single batches then, unless I wanted to do s...

Great, thanks BobBrews, thats reassuring. I like your suggestion of having a go before doing anything permanent :thumbs: I'll just buy the minimum needed and lash something up to start with. Guess the spent grain could be used to test various things out, as well. Its a very good point on the smaller...

So, I've been reading around the forum and now wanted to check if the resulting plans are reasonable: Volume: I want to do double corny batches (~40L) and occasionally single-keg (~50L or 13 US...
