just thought I'd say hello
I used to post mainly on the kit boards, but this afternoon I dropped off 2 sanke kegs and a 100L stockpot with a man who's going to fit them out (as a hlt, mash tun and boiler respectively) I thought I'd say hello, and I hope you all look forward to me asking all the usual questions in the coming weeks.

Yeah, wow! That's quite an upgrade. Best of luck, and don't hesitate to ask any questions as you go.Jymbo wrote:.....100L boiler, starting as you mean to continue! good luck!
We'd love to see pictures once you get it all back and setup.

Thanks for all the kind comments my new boiling bretheren.
Haha. Yeah, I know. Well, I thought to myself that the boiler is the real limiting factor with the setup. If I had gone for one of the Sanke kegs for it, I could only ever do a 40L ish batch as the top end. But, with a 50L Mash tun, and a 100L boiler I should be good to go for....well....Loads. Plus, if it's going to take me 7 hours to make a batch of beer, I don't want to be making 20L batches. (Obviously I'll have to til I've got the method down)Jymbo wrote:.....100L boiler, starting as you mean to continue! good luck!
That all depends on how shiny I can get itdreadskin69 wrote:and potential braggin rights go thru the roof too
I may have to heavily redact the images due to the origins of the HLT and Mash Tunseymour wrote: We'd love to see pictures once you get it all back and setup.
Re: just thought I'd say hello
Huzzah! Just got the call that everything is ready to pick up. Only a couple of jobs left on my list and I'm good to go
1 - Order 2 solar pumps
2 - Make the wort chiller from the copper pipe I've had lying around for 12 months
3 - Buy an empty calorgas container off ebay for as cheap as possible so I don't have to pay the £35 they want for the rental fee.
Once I've got these out of the way, I'm smooth like gravy!
