Hey, so I recently finished my kegerator build, and now my beer demand is greater than my now extract brewing capacity.
Since my birthday is at the end of the month, I think I am going to go all grain. I was hoping I could get a critique from the collective knowledge of this forum on the equipment I am planning on going with. I would like to be able to do 10 gal. batches, even if I don't right away. My current equipment is a 5.5 gal SS tramontina pot, couple better bottles, and my ale pail.
So this is my tentative equipment list.
Pot:http://www.instawares.com/stock-pot-aluminum-50.alsksp008.0.7.htm
-quick specs: aluminum(gasp), 50 quart, 4mm thick.
-I think this would be large enough for 10 gal, or would 60 quart be better?
MLT:
-It is just the regular 60 quart walmart igloo cube.
Burner
-quick specs: typical bayou burner, I've seen a few on here.
Grain Mill:
-Cheap, I'm okay with spending some extra time, vs money on this part.
I am planning on making my own wort cooler, once I have a pot to help figure out my dimensions, and I know I need a braided hose/manifold for the MLT. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions, or recomendations. Thank you much, I wouldn't have started brewing without this forum.
