Hey all,
Looking to get into all grain. Figured I was going to go to home depot and buy the parts for a 10g round cooler MLT. Also will be needing a boil kettle, i have been using a 22q aluminum kettle for my extract/partial mashes.
was looking to get a burner and large boil kettle. I don't see myself brewing anything over 6g at this point, so I figure a 10g pot would work.
I was looking for suggestions as far as burner/kettle combos. I have easy access to lowes/home depot/costco/walmart/target, etc.
I want something that I will not have to replace or upgrade in the next couple of years, so I would be willing to spend the extra cash but also want to get the best bang for my buck.
Also, in my extract brews i pour my cooled wort through a strainer when putting into fermenter. However, with a full boil I can see this may be a bit difficult. Any suggestions on how you guys do this? Do you even bother straining it?
thanks!
edit: i was looking into the "King Kooker 12 in. Flat 54,000 BTU Top Outdoor Cooker with 50 qt. Aluminum Pot, Steamer", the BIAB technique intrigues me and I figure the basket would be beneficial. Anyone have experience on this?
