What would be the cheapest best way to set up an electric brew kettle for a 55 gallon stainless steel drum?Most likely 240v ,how many watts to do this fast and efficient?I don't need this all auto controlled to start off.I don't mind flipping a few switches when it gets to temp.I would like to...

Well just got done with the pilot batch,and things went pretty good.Did a multi step decoction mash to hopefully convert the unmodified feed barley ,and ended with a OG of 1.065 gravity! The wood and garbage fire brought the wort to a boil in under an hour.Using the urine technique for...

Being your first AG brew,you probably won't know if it's a good idea until after the first 1 is done.Plan on starting early and leave enough time in between in case you need to run out for some hardware or more brew supplies.It takes me 6 hours to brew 10 gal all grain plus cleanup. Go for it...

Wow I didnt know people were doing this ,sounds interesting. Found a bag that fits in a 55 gallon drum (Polyethylene,homopolymer)FDA and USDA approved for food.Is that a #1 recycleable material? If this is possible I might have to get some 55 gallon SS drums and have a go.Never could figure out...

A poly liner for a 50 or ? gallon rubbermaid garbage can,of the proper material (#1,#2) and leakproof of course,that could be washable(reuseable)or not (disposable) for $20 box of 10.Just check for leaks and fill er up.FIAB it'll be called.

My 25' 3/8 counter flow works great down to about 68 degrees depending on flow rate.Some galvanized T's, brass fittings, drilled out 3/8 compression fittings, and an old hose and BAMsaved enough to brew 10 gal of Pale Ale!

Dont worry I dumped a whole bottle of bleach in there and got it recirculating round, not through the burn barrel yet.All them pipes and such will be cleaner than my kitchen.And epoxy don't flare up till 250 degrees anyhow.Guess you won't be invited to the grand opening!

Well I just finished scraping most of the residue from the side of the tub,and epoxyed the cracks..Had to replace some of the pvc pipe that runs to the jets.I'll have to reroute some of the pipes into my heater assembly.The stock heater only max's out at about 120 degrees so i'm gonna run the...
