Ray, from what I understand that won't fit, but wouldn't be too hard make one for it if wanted. For now I just want to make beer in it and what I got it for. Down the road maybe. I think I am at least a month or two away from being able to brew beer with it anyways.....

Nice new toys Berry, been trying to figure out the best stuff to put together with what I have to be able to move indoors for our "mild" winters.

I have the boiler for this setup for distilling my water to build it up for my beer brewing :rolleyes: LHBS had someone return one, wasn't working all it needed was a switch got it for $100. Been looking at designs might just make one from home diy store.

Awesome. I want to know what you think of the mash & boil once you try it out. I am seriously considering one once I feel like I can spend extra money on something besides paying off debt. Everything I've read makes me think it will work fine for what I want, but a Borg members opinion I would value very much.
