I brewed with this a few times before deciding that an electric brew kettle would be easier for apartment brewing. Located in Dublin 2, and would rather not ship this if it can be avoided. If convenient, I can always swing by Tog on a brew day for anyone who wants to inspect it. Originally purchased from mybeerandwine. Offers entertained!

Have you considered drilling a few extra holes and adding some elements to make an electric boil kettle.

Nice looking pot but you should really post an asking price when it's in the for sale section.However Shanna has the right idea,drill two holes,install two kettle elements,no need to sell at all then. ;D

Yep, I agree with Shanna.

You'll save money too by adding 2 elements to it.

I did something similar recently, picked up 2 cheap kettles from Argos and I havent looked back since.

Ach! I thought I was going to be emailed when this thread got responses but apparently I was wrong. To answer people's questions, I looked in to adding kettle elements but I don't have a hole saw, already bought the other electric kettle (which was cheap enough, fortunately), and wasn't crazy about the idea of using a homemade electric kettle without an RCD.

Sorry about failing to list a price, I was thinking €70?


bikerbrewer

Sounds good Jack, where are you located? Any chance you're near Dublin castle?

jackflash

In Sandyford, but I could pop into town around lunch. Would I be able to carry it do you reckon from Dub Castle to Luas at Stephen's Green?

Well done jackflash! €70 is a very good price for a kettle of this quality. They are seriously heavy duty and they are suitable for induction also.

Cheers Mark. I've been looking around online and they're not cheap! I'm looking to start extract and then maybe all grain and the cost of the gear can be expensive.

bikerbrewer

It's a bit bulky but Luas is only a ten minute walk; I'm sure you can manage it. As far as scheduling, I'll message you.

Jackflash - I used this for BIAB all grain and it worked beautifully for it; as mentioned it's a nice kettle but an integrated unit makes more sense for me right now.
