ok after too many extract batches i've decied i'm gonna make the conversion. The only 2 "rules" from the wife. 1. Only if you can do it for under $150 2. Don't take up too much room.
Number 2 could be a problem living in the city.
So I need to call upon all of you for some help. Are there any sites or links with some options and plans? All suggestions would be great.
I want to make 5 gallon batches. For a MLT I figure cooler will be easiest.
Should i go with a 5 gal round igloo $19.88 from sam's club?
or a 60+ qt square cooler?
What type of fittings should i use?
with this cooler what shall i use copper? SS braid? or CPVC? or buy false bottom?
do i need a HLT? or could i use multiple pots on the stove to heat sparge water? (will this work to have a stove to do all my heating???
finally i guess chilling..... what would you suggest? this is the area i have done the least research......
thanks again. Please also if i have missed anything.... let me know. Hopefully i'll be able to make this all happen in time for a baby brew.
cheers, jeremy
