Just got home and saw this :party:. Aces, I remember seeing your original question on this pot. You have done an excellent job in turning it into a magnificent kettle - not as easy as you made it sound. (No problems with the tap either, just make sure you check it regularly ;)). I really want to se...

My new BIAB pot

I found this for sale recently, well about 3 months ago actually. It was put up for sale as a crab cooker. Its 25 UK gallons according to the label (114L) and is about 50 years old. Everything looked great and I picked up for just $90, only to find that they had resealed the bottom edges with lead b...

Pulley systems rock. I used it for the first time last weekend on a double batch and it makes the process so much easier, and practically no spillage at all (now thats a first :thumbs: ) I have been pulling the bag out, then putting it on a grate over a large bucket. Once the wort gets up to about 7...

After I finish mashing and I am heating up to the boil, I put the bag on an old fridge shelf over a large bucket. I drain 75ish degree wort from the mash pot via the tap and basically rinse the grains with about 5 litres of wort which is then added back to the pot. Will rinsing with hot wort rinse m...

If you input your kettle diameter into The Calculator it will tell you how many liters per cm in your kettle. I just marked a maple stick in .79cm increments and marked them in pen.They are still quite visible after about 20 brews. P.S..79cm is the increment I get for my 40cm BK Thanks Lylo, I knew...

Volume in the pot

I want to mark out a ruler to measure what volume of liquid is in the pot and I thought I remembered seeing a formula here, but I can't seem to find it somewhere. My new pot is quite large at 580mm wide but 480mm high so I think I will struggle to get proper accuracy by just adding a litre of water ...

Vinegar & water cleans copper really well. Just soak for half an hour and hose through with water afterwards. You can buy cheap 2L bottles of cleaning vinegar from the supermarket

Like Lambert I was wondering how you get the syphon to start flowing also.

I usually whirlpool and leave for 30 minutes with the lid on. I wash the cube with sodium percarbonate, then spray with idophore drain upside down for a while and then put the lid on till i am ready to fill it up. While it might cool down a bit more, i've never had an infection doing it this way. Wh...

what size hole are you trying to drill? Unless its a very large one you'd be better off with a step drill over that style in your link. Also the arbours are quite expensive usually (well mine are) you might pick up one cheaper on ebay Dual pitch refers to the fact that some of the teeth are angled s...

Extra head space is not an issue on heat loss assuming you put a lid on your kettle which you will. The issue is heat loss through the lid. AH mentioned styrafoam. This should be put on top of the lid, not on top of the wort or mash as plastics and beer don't mix well at a Yep, PP is correct, styra...

Hi Lars, Aluminium is a lot easier than Stainless to cut & drill. Step drills are quite good at cutting through stainless steel. Run them at slow speed with plenty of lubracation. I've also cut shapes out of thin stainless using a jigsaw with a metal blade (although this is slow and makes horrible n...
