Hoppy Brewing

I got the notice that a package was waiting for me at the apartment office just after they closed on Friday so I had to wait until Saturday morning to tear into it, but damn was it a beautiful sight! Now I’m the proud owner of a 40lb 15G brewpot.

I did a test fill/drain on it with 5G of warmish water and it seals really well. It looks like some siphoning will be needed to get the last little bit, but that’s no big deal.

After the 15G brewpot setup is complete with the burner setup and mash tun, the next step will be a ginormous steel fermenter like this bad boy:
