\nI have now changed how I brew kombucha. I used to use an 8 quart enameled Le Creuset stockpot on my gas stove. To cool it down from boiling to 80F, I would fill my kitchen sink with ice water and let it sit. This takes a while and all of the ice in my freezer.\n<\/p>\n

\nI looked at Academy for outdoor propane burners. But they were incredibly flimsy. Sigh. People buy such cheap crap. Fortunately, Austin Homebrew had a Bayou Classic Outdoor Propane Burner<\/a> which was pretty solidly made from cast iron.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe next step was to use my 36 quart Coleman ice chest. I can just barely fit two 16 pound bags of ice for $3.00 in my corner Ice House America<\/a>. I then bought a pool pump from Home Depot and a hose to connect to a BrewVint Wort Chiller (30 ft)<\/a> on loan from Ryan (NOTE: I don’t think this is an exact match).\n<\/p>\n

\nThe next step was to buy a large kettle. I went with 40 quart (10 gallon) Stainless Steel Stock Pot Steamer Brew Kettle w\/lid BA76-40<\/a> from eBay for $76. I now buy 5 gallons of reverse osmosis water from Glacier Water Dispenser<\/a> next to my Super HEB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
