I found a company that sells stuff for restaurants,and they have a 36- liter aluminum kettle for 78€. That`s about 720kr. That`s big enough so that I don`t have worry about spilling. The guy from the company that I talked with in the telephone said that there`s no risk involved with using them,and that in fact he would choose this one for the use I want it,as well. And that wasn`t just sales talk because otherwise he could have sold me the more expensive steel kettle.
Some more questions: Will I need a thermostat for boiling the wort? Or is such a large quantity of water and barley easier to keep at steady temperatures? And are there differences in thermometers and the other meters in quality? And what about ready-milled barley, do you know if the ones sold here are milled only when ordered,or are they ready-milled and kept like that for weeks,months,etc.? And does it matter whether it`s freshly milled or not?

That`s true;)
The kettles are just hard to find. I just remember that I paid 60€ for the 7.5L one I have. What about a mill? Won`t I need one to crush the barley?
Uh oh... I`ve been making some calculations on what it would cost to get all the equipment together,and it gets up to somewhere around 300€,at least. That`s quite a lot in my current situation. But I don`t wanna buy crappy equipment that needs to be changed in a few months or a year. A poor person can`t afford to buy cheap stuff,as they say.
So after boiling the ingredients should I remove them before adding the yeast? And are those last 40g of hops meant be left to the beer along for the fermentation?
Then another thing: I`m also a keen freetime farmer,and I was thinking is it possible to get rootings or seeds of some hops species that would do fine in Scandinavian climates?
Hi to you too,Jan 
Glad to see you dig LORDI; it only took us something like 50+ years to win the Eurovision! I think the people who choose the contenders for the competition were so frustrated that they didn`t care anymore as we always came in last or something, so they thought :"It doesn`t matter anymore, let those guys in the funny masks give it a try,it can`t go any worse..."
OK, thanks a lot!
Are these all available through the webshop here?
Hi from the opposite coast of the gulf
I haven`t been able to find any good shops or forums in finnish here from Finland, but fortunately I found my way here.
I`m still just a wanna-be brewer, as I`m still to make my first brew. I would like to start making beer from the "intermediate"- level, from extracts,specialty malts and hops. So my questions are: what do I need (equipment), a good simple recipe (maybe some standard british ale?) and what do I need for ingredients?
Thanks everyone in advance!
