Ok, I have not been on or doing any brewing in over a year due to life / address changes (not going to go into detail is not a "feel sorry for me" thread) logged in last week to ask a question about starsan and responded to and ended up hijacking a thread about water systems (to the OP of that thread sorry). Anyway I began reading and getting caught up on the threads and the brew bug has hit again in full force. I was planning on switching to AG anyway so I figured now was a good time so I have a few questions before I start. Setup as planned, 15.5 gal "kegle" for boiling, cooler for MLT, and 30QT pot for heating strike / sparge water. I have a line on the keg to modify and plan on putting in weldless bulkhead, stainless ball valve with dip tube and sight glass / thermometer combo. Planning on getting a cooler in the 70QT range for the MLT since the round ones cost more plus I figure it can double as storage when not brewing. Im leaning towards using a manifold over the stainless braided but not sure if I should go with CPVC or spend a little more and just do copper . As for the small pot, I was able to get a new turkey fryer kit last winter for cheap and will be using that pot. Would it be a good idea to put a ball valve and sightglass in that one too, or would I just be wasting money at that point? Will most likely be doing batch sparging, but may get bored and mess with a fly sparge at some point. Sadly as I dont have a dedicated place to put a three tiered system and this will all be gravity fed I forsee a lot of lifting on brew days, but with help and common sense it should be ok. Im sure I will have many more questions by the time I have screwed up one batch and want to try again, but will take any advice before hand to help make that not happen.
