Gonna show this to my missus to prove to her that I'm actually quite restrained with my brew kit! That's utterly fantastic!

Re: Nearly Finished my Brewery Room
Cheers,
The strange thing is over the course of these last few years the evolution has sort of gone full circle regarding batch size.
I started of with plastic MT & Burco approx. 20ltr brew, then went 40ltr , then went 100ltr (setup you see) then built a "BreadMaker" being the clone of the BM you can see in the picture.
If I were to do it all again, its my firm belief a small BM unit, whether it a commercial one or a home made effort teaches you a lot about brewing. It annoys me to read threads with people say using a BM isn't brewing / its just pressing a button. ITS NOT.
Moving on....
+ My old Coleman Xtreme Mash Tun is still (no longer have it) one of my best pieces of equipment, very fond memories of that.
Morale = doesn't matter how shiny / flash it looks, its all about the brewing......
If I have time, I`ll post the links to the rest of the bits in the photos.....
Cheers

Yep but over priced for what they are, when you can make one for half the price. I`m sure you have seen the other threadbanjokat wrote:Yeah, first thing my eye was drawn to was the BM. I'd love one!

I still have it and it gets used when I'm brewing smallish brew lengths.

Yep holds temperature brilliantly, seriously considering adding a Blichmann auto sparge to it.
