<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I had to pull out this low pressure hot water cylinder. i think its 180L. The 2000w element and thermostat works. I pulled it out because it has a weeping leak. Could that be fixed easy? welding copper?</p>
<p>To split it open... I have a small grinder. would that make a pigs ear of it? I couldn't imagine being able to cut it straight with a hack saw. </p>
<p>It has a vent outlet on the top. water supply outlet and 2 others for solar hotwater supply and return.</p>

<p>I'm thinking to convert the bottom to a Hot Liquor Tun and the top convert to a Mash Tun. I already have a 51L boil kettle with an element. I'm wondering if thats big enough though-</p>
<p>my optimum setup would be to make around 50L of wort and then split to 2 x 25 L fermenters to test different yeast strains / pitching rate etc.</p>

<p>Any thought / opinions gratefully received!</p> 'Dunkable' electric elementstag:www.forum.realbeer.co.nz,2009-08-23:1500433:Topic:656562009-08-23T23:32:12.707Zvdoghttp://www.forum.realbeer.co.nz/profile/vdog
Looking to upgrade our heating capacity on the kettle, and rather than welding in a new port for an extra element, I was wondering about whether it's possible to get a 'dunkable' element from somewhere so we can just chuck it in the top to get the wort up to the boil, then pull it back out and leave the existing 2.4kw element to do the rest.<br />
<br />
Anyone know whether these things exist, and if they do, where to get them from? Else, is there a way to put an extra HWC element in without having to weld?
