So four years later and I’m under construction. Thanks t everyone who helped me along the way. Here’s the new panel being built.

Forgot to mention Doug293cz is an electrician I believe who helps people design control panels. I sent him a parts list and he made changes and made me a complete wire diagram which made installation a breeze. If you build it from scratch it’s cheaper and for me I love the DIY part of brewing...

Kal made http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/ He has a good page set up for all the DIY you would need to do. From the control panel, to the fermentation chamber.

Kal is big on this forum as well. I'm sure he would be happy to help you design a system. I love my spike kettles and they are totally customizable. I built my brewing panel from Kal and Doug's help.

Just my .02 but I started 1 gallon brew and ruined it. The equipment was so difficult to use compared to my big gear. once I had my gear set up I have never made a bad beer or had an infection. My one gallon brew was poured down the drain. Also I only did at the most 3-4 extract batches and said...

To add on to this I fully regret my kettle size. However one was bought for me as a gift so I stuck with the 10 gallon kettles. I wish I had 20

SsBrewtech has a new line of electrical brewing systems for the home brewer. Not sure how much they are but I’d imagine they are close to spike prices.

Spike brewing has a buy once cry once system. However if your getting electrical work done I’d go with a 50A service so you can run two elements at the same time if you want to back to back brews. I have 30A and I’m limited to what I can do because of it.

Looks really cool. What’s the price point on that?

I say do it and report back he research and development findings.

I like the Texas two step. I think I’ll try that. Maybe make two different starters and pitch two yeast strains and I’m off to the races. If you have success with the DME let me know. I hate that I’m restricted to 5 gallons but that’s the cards I was dealt and I’ve put to much money into my...

I was thinking about that kit as well. I just installed RO water and want to brew with it. I got John palmers app and it’s linked directly to that kit. But yeah sitting at almost 200 bucks it’s expensive. Would you even need that for RO water?

I’m not an expert on this but when I make my yeast starter I generally decant most my DME wort although you don’t have to unless you want to. I get rid of most of it because that’s what I was taught. However on the scale of 5 gallons of DME that might drastically change taste. If you wanted two...

Bad ass set up man. Looks good
