1BBL Single Vessel All Grain Steam Kettle Conversion

[GlenF]

I love the valve with sight glass.....frickin sweet. For the hop spider though, don't you think a bigger bag would be better? Might lower your utilization having all the hops bundled up tight like that.

Or just use multiple hop spiders/ hop sock...you've got plenty of room for it.

I recirculate during the boil and the lid return pumps into the hop spider. This will help allot with utilization. I did a BBL brew and will post details and update the "MaxOut Brewstation" thread. I tasted the wort post boil and the hop profile seemed good. I am not going to be converting this to a "All In One System" until this fall. Thanks for the ideas!
