Hello,
I've done a few brews that turned out reasonably well, and I'd like to keep doing it, but I don't have the time (or patience) for all the meticulous cleaning and transferring. Would it be possible to do all of the steps in one vessel? I'm thinking something along the lines of:
- Do brew-in-a-bag steeping in a stainless steel vessel
- When ready for chilling, put in copper tubing
- When ready to ferment, put on a lid that can be made air tight, but don't put it on that tightly
- Wait a couple weeks
- Throw some sugar in there, and close the lid airtight
- Wait a couple more weeks
- Throw the vessel in the fridge and serve directly from a tap on the side
Would this work? What are the potential problems? Is there equipment out there I can buy for this? I'd be happy to make something myself, as long as it wasn't too involved (I'd be happy to do, say, anything up to welding).
Thanks!
