This is a good link to another forum on the subject, to bad it is in imperial!

I always thought of it as how ever big you MLT is is the volume of a roughly 1.060 beer you will get out.

imperial is a pain but thanks to google it is understandable, thinking it ain't going to be anywhere near big enough for what I want to achieve, oh well I ight see a mate with a welder and see if we can't stretch it a touch

Kind of an awkward volume - Dont know what sort of complexity you are heading for with your 3v but pop a heat exchange coil in there as low as you can with just enough water to cover the coil , electric element , PID to control and it has HERMS heat exchanger written all over it....

yeah it was cheap so I had a bid, it didn't state the size so I was just hoping it would be big enough as it's a great wee urn, wee being the word,

 

I can definately see your thought process there, and a great thought it is too, best I rethink the new rig, 27 bucks was the cost of it so I'm not out much if I stuff it, and it does have a kind of funky retro feel to it
