My dad gave me a copper geyser " warm water donkie" tonight. I will post a pic tomorrow. It is about 100L and was used when he was growing up. The thing is over 50 years old.
I am interested in converting this thing into a boiling kettle. I would need to give it a good scrub as it has been standing in a shed for almost 15 years. Is there anything I should look out for before using it? At the moment I only brew 15L - 25L batches. I read on some websites that not boiling to full capacity can be a problem as the condensation running back into the worth can infect the wort? Is this true?
How extreme should I clean this thing? Was thinking of using a high pressure hose and steel wool to clean it up?
My idea is to convert it into a boiling kettle.
Cheers
