Having back to back lil stinkers I have been MIA for a while but I finally got some free time to put the work and ideas GreenMonti and I bounced back and forth over a year ago into action, so GM hope this serves as some closure for you
It all started with an idea of how to make AG brewing quick and efficient for me (a first time brewer of anything) and BIAB seemed the answer but I figured if I was going to get into a new hobby why not go big or go home.
So the basic idea was this:
Utilize my on demand water heater, feeding hot water into a pot or keggle that a large basket also fit in so I could essentially BIAB with a burner incorporated to regulate the temp and for boils.
This is how it pieced together:
Scored a good deal on a SS 100qt, triclad NSF pot in which GM worked his magic on and welded in a 1" coupler:
Then found a cheap 75L 316 pot on ebay which I took to my local guy and he took the plasma to the bottom and then took his TIG to attach some 16 ga SS perfed sheet with 3/32 diameter holes spaced 5/32:
As well as add some eye bolts so I can hoist the pot up.
Finally, got the kick a banjo burner and mounted it my stand:
Of course all this means nothing unless it works and I am happy to report... it :rockin:
