Well I had to, I have been moaning about my kit for years, my boil pot is only 19L to the brim, and it really gets to me having to mess around with two boils for one brew.
So I had to go to the brew shop for some malt, hops and yeast etc.
The etc turned out to be a 56L stainless kettle with two 2.4kW elements, sight glass, thermometer, ball valve, bazooka screen and a lid.
Its all still in bits, this had to happen at a time when I am really busy at work ! no time to build it or for a brew day.
I have been looking at in my lounge for three days now!
Cant wait to get going with it. Its said that things come to those that wait, ive been brewing beer for over thirty years now, I have waited long enough.
But have just realised that with every upgrade there are further implications, I am not going to be able to carry this thing, what am I going to put it on when its boiling, how do I wash it out (all my previous gear fitted in the sink).
oh well deal with the problems as they come, what a fantastic hobby.
Anybody else made spontaneous purchases ?
