Hi there,
I'm currently brewing 5 gallon BIAB batches but have been given the go ahead by the Missus to move my brewing operations to an outside covered balcony area and am itching to start making 10 gallon batches using a cooler as a MLT.
I already have to buy a few things (bigger pot, cooler box) and therefore want to minimize any further investments. Can you guys give me any advice on what I need and how I could set it up? I'm in Japan so lots of Homebrew fittings etc are not that readily available.
What I have
10 gallon pot with ball valve tap
3 plastic bucket fermenters
25' immersion chiller
What I plan to buy
10 gallon rubbermaid cooler ( to which I'll fit a ball valve and false bottom)
70 liter ss pot
Propane gas burner
What I'm thinking about
Pump? Do I need one? How do people move around all the hot liquid without one?
Chiller. Could I use/adapt my existing 25' IC to use to cool 10gallon batches? Do i need a new one?
Setup. Should i go for a 3 tier stem or could I get away with having it all on one level?
Cheers guys
