OK so SEVERE NOOB... Reading all I can, about all I can on this forum. Wish I had found and read this site before I started making anything, as I have an apple cider and an apple/pear/ little bit of orange wine preparing to get bottled in my guest bathroom, that may or may not be very good in a while. Thanks to this I am Waiting NLT 6 months on the wine. SWMBO is even liking my new hobby. So thank you for all the info I have already received, from all the great people that post new info for people just getting into this .







I planned on doing BIAB and going for about a 15 gallon keggle set up so that I am not spending more money later when I want to have larger capabilities. Will this set up, scale up to a keggle? I am thinking either use two internal heating elements at different levels(depths) so i could turn one off if I am doing small batches or use a cannibalized external element in addition to them. I also feel like I may use the top that I cut off of my keg as a false bottom instead of building the manifold like in this system.



Now the question....



What do you think of my plan? I welcome any shoot downs.Or better ideas. They will only make me a better brewer and hopefully save me some growing pains. Again thank you to all the people that make this forum the great resource that it is.
