Yeah, Coolers are all over the place here, but they are just thost polystyrene boxes with a lid, not those plastic ones like you have in the US and i had back in Australia. I should really edit this, they ARE avaialable in some places in Brasil according to a www search, but they are not around...

Some great info there, thanks alot! Those coolers that you are talking about arent around down here in Brazil, so thats why im looking at aluminium or stainless pots. Plus, i want to build a reasonable system to expand to bigger batches soon hopefully. I also havent seen the glass carboys...

Im not much help with your brewing questions so ill leave that to someone else.. apart from the fact that i agree that coconut milk in the wort sounds horrible.. Soaking the Cacau nibs and vanilla in rum sounds good, stick to your taste profile and use a coconut rum!!

Is that correct, that you only do half gallon brews? Im interested in a system to do a bunch of tiny brews.. hot weather here so i think ill have more luck keeping a small fermenter cold with a swamp cooler

Its in Portugues, but you can see what i mean, R$1999 is basically US$1000 (depending on the exchange rate).. And this one is like ebay prices.. cheaper than stores down here!! http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-581983175-panela-cervejeira-blichmann-57-litros-aco-inox-cerveja-_JM

Thats one hell of a large bag and pot needed!! nice one :)

Thanks for that.. i agree with most of what you said also!! Extract brewing i did years ago, with a simple little kit.. i want to get into AG now. I am a professional Chef, so the following a recipe and sanitation are things i am used to having to do daily, and a dabble alot in molecular...

Haha.. dude, thats literally the reason i asked this question, i saw a site of a company here in Brazil making something basically the same as that.. and got wondering about how big BIAB can go!! :)

Sounds good.. One good thing in Brazil is the cheap labour, so the equipment i want is taxed so high its expensive as, but i can get a metal work place to do the hard work for me for next to nothing, which ill do as i have no drills or equipment. Any particular weldless valves that i should be...

Handy i am, with metal i dont know much.. but have plenty of places i can get it done here. I want to put in the valve cause i like the idea of a pump to transfer between pots.. i want to try and make something thats as automatic as i possibly can

Brazil has the highest taxes on anything imported in the world.. anything at all imported here is stupid expensive. Weldless sounds perfect, ill check that out

Available id say yes, but the ones i have seen are way too expensive here, so il just go with pots.. but that fitting that you said sounds perfect for it (Assuming it will also work on a normal pot)

What is that copper with pipe on the top going down into it?

Im mainly wondering the largest size possible, cause i was reading that with BIAB you can mill the grain superfine and only do 10 minute mash! That sounds like a great money saver with not wasting time, power or gas to brew the same beer..

Sorry, whats an MLT? is that the Mash Tun? When ive seen these 3 kettles setups, i dont understand the need for 3.. is one there only to heat water and nothing more? Really only need 2..

So, from lots of researching equipment i see that down here in Brasil its just too expensive to buy good brewing equipment, so as i am starting out why not try and make my own right! Basically i mean, just buying some largish aluminium (stainless maybe) pots and the valve and thermometers and...

I'm not doing this i am just wondering what is the biggest batch that someone does?

Just out of interest, anyone do BIAB for large size batches? I mean, is it even possible for something large, like more than 100 liters?

Exactly what i hope to do.. I dont want to create a 100% clone of Guinness, but i love Guinness so i want to be able to make my own version of something very similar :)

Obrigado viu!
