Hey all.
I am setting up a grain brewing system and have spent many, many months researching all these posts and other websites with semi professional breweries. I don't think I can afford a HERMS system and the esky system seems to work quite well. I want to do 50 litre batches so that wont fit in the standard large rubbermaid drink container.
People use the rectangular Esky but I have heard the cylicdrical ones work better. Any thoughts for somone about to set up a good A.g system?
Also, what about mashing and sparging in the kettle with submersible elements or under pot gas fire. What works the best?
