So a friend of mine works at the local college (UCSD) and he has scored me two 15 gallon kegs. Straight sided with handles at the top along with a ball type valve for the tap. Don't know what kind it is. Anyone got a name?
So, with two of these kegs I should be set to get started on a AG setup what should I make out of these two? Keggle? Fermenter?
I'm thinking a keggle for one and a water heater (HLT, don't know what it's called as I haven't done that much research into AG systems yet. ) The Mash Tun I can make from a cooler, I can just get another fermetnter or two for ten gallon batches if I decide to go that big. I can easily do 5 gallon boils in this keggle,
O yeah, the facilities guy at work said he would give me a 25 to 35 foot coil of copper tubing for a wort chiller.
First steps? plan? thoughts?
help would be appreciated as I've only made 4 batches and they are all extract with steeping grains.
