Hi,
I'm reading your board since a year or so, getting a load of information on everything. I'm getting tired of making beer over the oven or with my gaz burner, I want to build something more efficient and practical.
I would love to build a RIMS but I would also like to build it by recycling a old kettle.
Here are the specs and a picture :
a 1961 steam kettle GROEN 20-GALLON JACKETED KETTLE, MODEL # FT20, MAX PRESSURE 40 PSI @ 300 DEG. F.

This kettle was used to cook food with a boiller connected to the bottom... the steam going between the two layers of stainless steam.
Most boilers sold are for industrial use only, I want to use something safe and practical at home.
Do you have any advices on how I could build an electrical Micro-brewery using this kettle ? Setup ? Design ideas ? Parts i should use.
I will buy a high temp pump, temperature sensors and controllers, I also have a cooler as a mash tun...
Thanks,
MrGoblin
