Evening drunksters!

I want to cook off some grain/ wart/ barley or what ever they call it; (cooking the starch into sugar thing) by ease, and in 50 Litre batches!

Is there an electronic cooker that I can buy that i can set the temp (thermostat) and timer and let it do its job with out my assistance? that I can drain the liquid off after woods easy (like chips in a basket in a frying pan)?

Thanks

UK Based; only want UK companies that I can return it to if it brakes from China

The first one will definitely not do what you want. You can control the power and read the temperature but it does not automatically control the power to keep the temperature constant. The second one might do that, but I don't think so. It says it is good for heating or boiling water, not for mashing grains. If it was designed to hold a constant temperature the description should have said something about how closely it can hold.

again this is the problem we have from distance buying online, as we dont really know what we are getting

Though it dose state its a "Beer boiler". but that could mean boiling the hops i guess. then it will need some type of bag that you can fit inside it to drain the liquid from the grain

What is wrong with the first one?

Thanks

PS anyone know the correct temprature for cooking the grain (starch to sugar)?
 
It has a heating coil and a thermometer, but there is no feedback to control the power to maintain a constant temperature. If you wrap it in a lot of insulation you might be able to hold temperature well enough without an electronic controller.

I think "beer boiler" is a British term and it may mean something other than what it seems. I took it to mean it would boil wort, but it might mean more than that. In American terms, the old 3-vessel system consisted of a "hot liquor tank" ( a tank for heating water), a "mash tun" (a container for converting starch to sugar at constant temperature) and a "boil kettle" (a container for boiling the wort after draining it from the mash tun). I took "beer boiler" to be a boil kettle, but that might not be the case.

May I ask how long you have been making beer. Seriously.

I have just had an email back off of them stating that it will hold temp on the mash, hear is what she said
-------------------------------------------------

Digi Boil is able to hold desired temperature without any issues.

Temperature can be set up to 140°C so you have a wide range for mash and boil.

For all grain brewing there is additional upgrade kit https://www.geterbrewed.com/digi-boil-65-l-mash-upgrade-kit? If you want to convert it to “proper” all grain kettle.

610 degrees Rankine is equal to 150.33 degrees Fahrenheit. @GigaFemto is a professional brewer. Perhaps you should study a bit before judging someone who's only trying to help you. How to Brew by John Palmer would be a good start.

As I stated, you need to some studying. Maybe you should try the way you think will work and find out that it doesn't. When you seek help and then argue with those who are willing to give it, you quickly wear out your welcome. Don't know about anyone else, but I'm done.

There is nothing false about what has been said... "610 degrees Rankine" translates to just over 150° Fahrenheit. The Rankine temperature scale uses zero that starts at absolute zero. Your leg is being pulled but it was not an attempt to spread false information. By the way, the winking emoji in the original post should have been a clue to the veracity of the comment.

Nobody here is being difficult for the sake of being difficult. You kind of started it all in several ways. The very first thing you write is to call us all "drunksters". Now, I personally found that to be only a bit cheeky... not so different from the cheeky nature of the "610 degree Rankine" comment. Others however might take it differently.

Then there are phrases and words used in your postings that indicate you are not very experienced in making beer which is why I asked. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being inexperienced or not knowing the specific terms used in brewing and I have yet to experience any member of this forum who was not willing to help out a new brewer. Which is again why I asked. When we know the experience level of the person asking the questions we can construct our answers so as to be better understood.

You lost me however when you dismissed my suggestion in such a flippant manner. OK, I understand someone having a bad experience with a seller but just say that rather than jumping down my throat with "Are you serious!" And prior to the "610 degrees Rankine" quip GigaFemto offered some genuine advise and a solid answer to your question. It seems to me that either you don't really know what you want or you are not knowledgeable enough to express accurately your needs... or both.

Back up, take a breath and come at this in a better frame of mind and you stand a better chance of getting answers to your questions.
