prices have risen a bit. They must have caught on that their pots are being used for home brewing

50ltr thermopot 69 squid to my door some where up the road 124 squid ouch just for the thermopot

our thermo was 89

wot for a 50ltr thermo where from uk or ???

last year from angel homebrew

not now lol a lott more

Would a 50lt stock pot and a 32lt thermo pot be big enough to do 60pints?
That wouldbe just under £100 for both delivered to my door, Thats amazing!!!!

Also would you get the thermopot with or without the tap to do a self conversion?

I may have the funds for this in a few weeks so may go Shiney

it would be close we boil 36 litres to get 25 litres 40 pints. You would need to boil 46 litres ish to get 60 pints. The thermo would be ok but you would need a 60 litre boiler I think

Agreed its tight, I have a hole in my lid which allows me to boil with the lid on and I get away with much less evaporation than Mark does but even so you'd have loads of boil overs if you are trying to end up with about 35L.

They don't show a 60lt on there though!
Also, how good are the thermopots in comparison tho a thermos cool box when it comes to heat retention as i would have thought that the plastic of the cool box will have some insulation properties due to what it's made of!
I only lost 0.5c on my one and only (upto now) 90min mash with an ambient temp of 8c so wondered if they are as good or better or if it's just the shiney apeal!

we only lose 1 degree in 10 hours so that shows how good they are

It would be tight but it is doable. I have a 50l mash tun and a 50l boiler. I boil on the stove top and it struggles a bit... by beer is a bit cloudy due to this. I do still get the odd boil over. I get about 65 500ml bottles out of my set up. More if I liquor it back.

I do wish I had gone for a bigger boiler....

i am going for a

70 ltr stockpot boiler
50 ltr stockpot hlt
50 ltr thermopot

i am going for a

70 ltr stockpot boiler
50 ltr stockpot hlt
50 ltr thermopot

That would be the ideal as it will future proof you too, i may have to buy the same i think!

i am going for a

70 ltr stockpot boiler
50 ltr stockpot hlt
50 ltr thermopot

if you go for a bigger hlt you can heat up the strike+sparge volume in one on a lower power element with a timeswitch, you can get away with less element wattage/power if your only raising the sparge liquor 10C or so during the mash rather than refilling and heating up from scratch.

If you venture into any water treatment it will also allow you to treat the whole liquor volume in one assuring consistency.

just thought it worth mentioning..

i'm pretty gutted they don't sell anything bigger than 100 litres

look wot i got today had to pick up from courior bling bling 50 and 70 ltr just waiting for thermo pot now

Thanks for that Taz, I am a bit of a tight wad but I thought those prices were ok and they are Eur not £. Have in mind to do a fancy BIAB or something of the type.

Looking good! Are you going electric or gas?

ele m8 still dont know if to put tesco ones in

i am going for a

70 ltr stockpot boiler
50 ltr stockpot hlt
50 ltr thermopot

That would work and allow for up to 50l brew length.

ele m8 still dont know if to put tesco ones in

pros, n cons of tesco elements,

pro's
Cheap
readily available
having been used before there is a few how-to s out there


cons
tight spiral coil - a minor pita to scrub back to shiny after use
Can leave an untidy back needing extra work/expense to shroud

fwiw my first boiler worked very well with 2 x tesco elements fitted
when i decided to upgrade i bought a few lemon elements some that rusted, others lost the silver plate revealing a very soft yellow brass metal (lead content??)
of the elements i have used i can recommend 3 types from my limited experience..
1) X tesco kettle elements
2) £5 ebay 1.5kw kettle elements complete with plastic backing shroud
3) Mrlards 100% stainless steel Low Watt Density Brewing elements @2.4 and 3 kw

if building a 5-10 gallon brew kit now i would look very hard at the ebay china 1.5kw kettle elements, 2 together can get plugged into a 13a socket, and simple power control can be had from unpluging 1 or 2 elements -- i would look at 3 or 4 for a boil kettle, and 2 are sufficient to heat a hlt

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AC-220V-1-5KW ... 43bbcd064b

the open design mean easy scrub back to shiny post brew, the simple back shroud save lots of time n effort,
and are cheap to replace should one fail, and again in a failure situation with 3 or 3 fitted if the one your using for the boil fails u have unused backups ready

element failure should be considered we are pushing elements to boil hotter than water liquor for 90 mins, not what was on the original design spec im sure..


my ol 60l hlt heated by 2 x ebay china elements - not sufficient to maintain a boil lid off.


Tesco elements not as easy to scrub back to shiny (though done post boil religiously)

the homebrewbuilder LWD elements

just a light dusting of crud post boil wipe off almost

just my limited experience, hope it helps

I thought Bergland had stopped selling direct to UK customers. So if they are then this is good news.
