I am looking for a box and packing materials for an SS BrewTech 20 Infusion Mash Tun.
I inherited one from a friend who passed away last year, and I am getting ready for a military move across the country. I really want to make sure it is packed properly.
Also could use a box for a 7-gallon brew bucket as well.
Not that you asked for it, but...
If you cannot locate a box, try this (for any items you are moving).
Professional packers know it is all about keeping the item(s) inside the box from moving or bumping into one another.
For a kettle, i would go the local U-haul store. For about $2.00 you can buy a box that will fit it. Then for about $10 you can buy 10 pounds of clean newsprint. Take one sheet of newsprint, ball it up tight, and make a layer on the bottom of the box. Place the kettle, and fill the sides with wadded up newsprint. Cover the kettle (if there is not lid) with a sheet of cardboard and ball up paper on top. Seal up the box. Shake the sh*t out of it. If you cannot feel the kettle move, you are good. If it moves- even a little- you need more wadded up paper.
Then you can add this smaller box inside another size up box (another $2.50) and repeat the wadded up paper process.
Also- if you can- fill your empty kettle with towels, blankets, sheets, etc. Something lightweight but not too fluffy (not a comforter).
Just my $0.02 worth. Also i am sure you have military friends that have been moved by professional movers- get their $0.02 worth too.
Good luck on the move!!
