Maximum batch size.

Hi all! I'm a somewhat experienced brewer, and I've recently aquired a 29 liter boiler with all the trimmings - controllable temp, high quality hop filter, ball valve tap etc. I've been using it to brew just over 10 litres of beer at a time for now, as I've been experimenting with recipes, and using...

Ah, I know the young's etc are food safe - plenty of people use them to build a boiler. But absolutely, I won't buy without enquiring first!

That's great, cheers. I'll do my best to insulate it, but with a thermometer at hand and an element I can turn on and off, it should be easy enough to hold temp :) I'll check that out. I know the buckets at my LHBS can hold boiled water, but not sure how they would handle boiling water. Maybe it's w...

Yeah, I'm gonna fit the bag to the size of the boiler as much as possible. It shouldn't be an issue as the boiler is a little bigger than I need, but that's because it'll also be useful if I ever want to make up a quick extract batch to fill a keg! Thanks for the advice.

Pro-Mini-BIAB! My new build :)

Well, I'm going full Mini BIAB and building the equipment for it especially. Why, you ask? Because right now, I'm brewing for quantity, and that is not good. My aim is to learn to make very excellent beer, and by increasing my number of brewdays, I can be more immersed in the hobby and get myself to...

Looks like it's another £12 for a food safe 60L bucket, a bit space occupying so I'll have to clear out the summer house a bit! lol. that's not really an issue though, as I guess it will save space on a mash tun.

cheers for the advice so far, it's coming together nicely

I'm looking into options now, i'm building the boiler myself so need something inexpensive. i've been toying with the idea of using a mash tun because I can easily get a 43L one for basically free. It would involve heating water in the boiler, transferring to mash tun and BIABing in there, sort of t...

New BIABer, best method in a 33L boiler?

Howdy. I've had a good ol' look through some topics and have been using Mini-BIAB to make All Grain beer for some time, 2 gallon batches, some of which have been fantastic. My Xmas beer is already bottled and conditioning, that's how tasty is was by the 6 month mark last year! So now, I'm thirsting ...

Yeah, that's the method I'm leaning towards for sure. My friend made a sparger from a 99p washing up bowl and drilled holes it in...sounds very cheap :p
Thanks for the help, I will let you know how I get on!
