I'm a complete beginner to brewing, I have a couple questions about going large scale (compared to what I'm doing now atleast)
Like 200gallon batches and such
I was just wondering what the expensive things I'm not thinking of are, what is difficult about doing it at such a large scale
Just brainstorming here, I know I'm a long ways away, but if I can start looking for parts the more time the better
I was thinking of a oil tank for a home would make a good boiler and fermenter.
Maybe connect 5 or 6 car radiators in series and have them sit in cold water to cool the batch on its trip to the fermenter
For the boiler, because it's not a round container I could put 2 or 3 motors on the top in order to stir it...
I dunno, it just seems so easy....when I know it's not
what are some more complicated issues I'm not thinking about, I know people spend several thousand dollars on a 200 gallon setup, why?
