I'm interested in designing and building my own electric all in one system (after all, why buy a good one for $400 when I can build a shoddy one for $1,200).
My current tun is bottom draining (SSBrewtech) and I have always liked the benefits that it provides (no lost liquid to account for, no internal pick-up piping to get in the way, etc). Because of the benefits, I'd like to build my new system to use a bottom draining 10G+ SS vessel as its foundation.
I have done some searches, but have not been able to find any kettles/pots that come with a true center bottom drain. Am I missing any offerings? And if not, has anyone had luck in modifying a kettle into a bottom drain system?
Thanks!
