Adapting still boiler for steaming mash

Post by MtRainier »

I’d like to cook up some corn and rye indoors. I have a 16g mile hi boiler with a 5500w electric element in it and a 5lb safety valve installed. I’d cook it in a 55g drum.

It seems simple to get some high temp steam hose from McMaster Carr and attach a triclamp to barb adapter to it for the boiler connection and make a copper pipe stem with a vacuum breaker and hose barb for the barrel end and get to steaming. The hose would let me store it easier when not in use than using hard plumbing.

Looking at this hose, by the way: https://www.mcmaster.com/#5301k12/=1dw8e9p" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow

It seems too simple to me. Would that work?
