My first experience with brewing was using gas. Some brews came out really good, others were a total waste. Root cause seemed to be that I was unable to maintain temps very well at all. So, I stopped brewing entirely for about two years.
During the first year I was researching electric brewing, control panels, and setups. I finally settled for Electric Brewing Supply, specifically the 30A BIAB control panel. After lots of thought and planning, I purchased the kit and started buying parts for converting and upgrading my system.
Taking my time (About a year) I built the box, modified my existing kettles, replaced all the connectors with quick disconnects, replaced my pump, got a new counterflow chilling coil and pieced it all together. Went through several iterations of leak testing and fixing (Everything is weldless).
Even though my control panel is BIAB, I setup my system very similarly to the Blichmann's BrewEasy. This gives me lots of volume to brew in and does not require a separate kettle for sparge water. Frankenbrew indeed.
After a test run, I found a couple errors on the schematics that took some brain power to resolve. I know electronics well enough, but 240v simply terrifies me. Once resolved, I brewed a batch. What a difference! Temp stayed within a degree of target (Likely closer really). OG results were higher than expected, but boil off was also higher. Simple adjustment there. But damn what a difference. It was a great experience.
Its been in the fermenter now for 10 days and I am looking forward to trying it!
Point being, I would recomend ebrewsupply, but go with a pre-built one. Their schematics are kinda dicy. Works well! no problems.
Nice to have that up and running I bet. I am just embarking on e brewing with a 240v induction burner and auber cube. My plan is to do most moderate gravity beers as recirculating BIAB with just one vessel.
Bigger beers that won't fit in my 10G kettle will be done as kettle rims similar to your rig (still with induction, however). I'll use one pump and gravity feed from the MLT to the kettle, then pump through an autosparge back into the MLT. I'll still use a brewbag for kettle rims just for easy cleanup. I love just pulling the bag and dumping it in the back yard for the deer.
