Jim's Beer Kit

No it has to have a 10 in the model number ie 300 just 3 internal lines 310 3 lines + recirculation line

Depends what model 110 one 210 two 310, I think you get the picture. Plus a beer engine on the recirculation line

Yep that's how I use it for beers on tap.

No, just switched on. It has a water tank built in. You can't set the temp either, it just stops short of freezing

It has a recirculation pump that is attached to a cooling jacket around the beer engine cylinder. It basically pumps the iced water from the maxi to the beer engine and back.

I find gumtree good for local bargains.

The blue barrels used for mango are perfect, try to find the type with a metal sealing band. I have a 240 litre one in the garage and it keeps grain with no problems. Look at my recent brewday post to see what I mean.

Big toe A silicone heating wire wrapped around the base of the conical works really well for heating, I've done it before in the past. I'm on my 3rd brew with the above now and they've all been spot on. Like sumofallbeers said, the conical all in one already exists, but it's not cheap. I reckon one ...

First pint of the smoked mild. I'm really pleased. I'll be fermenting in the kettle a lot more often, it's so much simpler...
