Experienced cider and wine maker.
I dove in last week and bought myself an early Christmas present to kick things off in the beer world. 15gal Keggle, 3 ports.
2 20gal stainless pots. are free, used in a factory for a couple of years, they were used to heat honey for packaging, they are going out of business and I snagged them for some hard cider, and beer as soon as I am up and running! First time ive paid for something in alcohol, haha!
The system will be gravity feed for now. Any recommendation on cheap shelving?
Id like to go electric if the kettles turn out to work.
Still building all of this in my head and have a few questions I cant seem to get past.
Id want to do 10gal batches.
Before I knew about the free kettles (SCORE!!) , I was going to go with a cooler for a mash tun. (still might if these kettles do not work for me)
Which would serve the best purpose for a mash tun? Keggle or 20gal kettle?
