No problems at all...It's a food grade 20 litre bucket from bunnings, around $9 i think. Have used it for 6 brews now. Takes around 30 mins to heat 15 litres to mash ...

Thanks guys...
Liquid looks like the go...

So would there be a problem if i boiled say 15 litres of wort, then added the rest as water once in the fermenter?

Thanks NTR..
so just to clarify, it's the left over water mix that you put into the fermenter? do you just discard the left over grain or can you use it again?

Is there a guide for how much to use with what beers?

Cheers :lol:

Using crystal

Hi Guys (and gals).

I have read the post on making a better brew, and in it someone mentions using crystal.
My question is, how much would i use?
Does it vary depending on the type of beer you brew?
And do i just chuck it in the boiling mix?

Cheers! :D
