Never posted....just read a lot of threads. Thanks for all the knowledge on here.
I have a Grainfather G70 that I ran several times before I went to BIAB with the unit. I found it easier and more efficient than using the recirc design of the unit.
I am very interested in upsizing to the same type of a set up customizing a 50 gallon design. I would like to avoid HERMS and just heat a single kettle. I believe the G70 has one 5550w element and I can heat 15 gallons to 200 with a starting temp of 60 in under an hour. I just purchased a 75 gallon stainless steel tank that I will customize with a false bottom.
I am curious everyone's throughts on 2 5500 w elements with a PID controller built into the bottom versus two Hellfire Blichman units? The LP route would be much cheaper but I am set up for anything I need to do w electric.
Thoughts?
