Deep Fried Turkey!?


Canadian Eh!L

Recommended Posts

I don't know if you folks have ever thought of this one. I was given this tip today. This Turkey deep fryer makes a great outdoor Home brew set-up. It come with the propane burner in a stand, a 36 Qt brew kettle, a thermometer and a bunch of other stuff not directly related to brewing but maybe could be applied in some creative way[joyful] . All this for a 100 bones![w00t]

Yes they are very popular in the US and Canada with homebrewers.

Saw them in Home Depot for about $59.

Sad part is they are not available in Australia. We do not have a preoccupation with dumping turkeys in a bath of oil here.

 

I considered getting a Blichmann Floor Burner but the hassle of transporting it and then modifying the connections was too much. Yanks have different connections on their propane equipment to Australia.

Well, I went out and bought myself one of these deep fryers. I put it together and gave it a test drive! Pretty cool![cool]

During the test drive I sampled a 14 month aged Toucan Stout. Awesome![love] p1100250p.jpg

Hey Pat,

 

I'm able to get Cooper's HB kits at my local grocery store and Coooper's SA at my local bootle shop. Small world, eh!

Hey gang

 

I thought I'd bump it thread to give those guys a suggestion for a cheap way to get into AG brewing. All together this kettle and burner cost $100.

 

I still use both the burner and kettle for my 3V set-up. The burner is the secondary burner that heat my sparge. The kettle is my brew kettle and just recently I added a ball valve tap. Something I should have done right away.

 

I think you Aussie might call it a crab cookerunsure

Hi KR

I wouldn't bother with a thermowell in the brew kettle. They just get in the way of things. I'd get a hand held, instant read, digital, probe thermometer. It costs $12 and does the job just fine. I would add a tap installed though.

Jaycar sell led's in many colours that automatically flash when you apply DC to them. Just imagine a control panel with lots of (not connected to anything) switches and dials' date=' and a bank of flashing led's!!! Impressive is hardly the word. [img']cool[/img]

What I want to know from our canuk friend' date=' was the turkey good?

Deep fried turkey, imagine how much oil you would waste doing that.

How about turkey flavoured beer then?[/quote']

I have never tried doing a turkey in the kettle. I just brew beer in it.
