Ok, maybe it wasn't an accident but that's my story I'm sticking to it!
I've always been brewing with a Morebeer 15 gallon pot as my boiler and it has served me very well over the years. That is, until I got a 27 gallon fermenter. My friends are starting to take more and more interest in brewing and have been wanting to split the batches more and more. I have been able to fill the fermenter with my current system by doing concentrated batches but that is one more thing to screw up and it is really bad on efficiency.
So I went to my local custom metal fabrication shop and had them do me up a 14 inch collar that I could weld to the top of my pot. It is basically the same height as the pot.
I'm no metal worker so I had to have a friend help me with the welding. All in all it turned out really nice! They aren't sanitary welds and they aren't super smooth but it's just the boiler. There should be no problem filling that fermenter now, with this badboy!
