Ya being able to actually communicate with the developers directly is huge IMO!

You might have me confused with Birrafilo.

Brewtools website is the only source I am aware of. Not aware of any others.

Awe! Did I stomp on a nerve? Sorry bout that! Just trying to keep it real and put all of the FACTS in front.

Some of what you guys are saying is not correct. EVERYTHING on the Brewtools systems can be replaced! There is nothing that can’t be pulled out and replaced or pulled apart and cleaned including the pump and center valve. The pump does not pull from the center of the kettle. It pulls from an...

Ya I have heard that the steam hat and condenser are almost a must for that system. I went with the B80 because I can make a 6 gallon batch or a 20 gallon batch and obviously anything in between. The bonus being the higher wattage option. As far as the proprietary TC fittings, that is probably...

I was simply trying to compare apples to apples and go with a comparable system to the Solo if you pick all of the add-one they offer (pump, chiller etc.) There is the pesky VAT import tax for sure. But you don’t pay for shipping for that price. So here is something that is pretty cool. The...

So looking at the near $2200 Solo with pump and chiller, that at most can brew a 10 gallon batch size, why would you not consider the Brewtools B80? Minimum boil size is 8 gallons max is 21 gallons. It comes in at $1949 with a pump. Add the chiller and you are around the same price point as the...

Craft Beer & Brewing:drunk:

At our Brew Shop my father and I started out brewing with a 3 vessel 10 gallon eHerms system. After a few stuck mashes I employed a large BIAB bag to the MLT so that I could eliminate that. So far this has worked very well. Meanwhile at home I started brewing using standard 5 gallon BIAB. After...

Fingers firmly in the "crossed" position. Thanks HBT and NorCal!:mug:

Those are some SICK prizes. Sign me up please!!!

Something else I found out concerning the EBCII is that High Gravity has taken one of the hot leads and branched off of it for the 120V power for the pump and heating control. In talking to a certified Electrician friend of mine he tells me that its not a very safe configuration. That lead still...

Something else that is noteworthy is that current BCS users can and do post their configuration files which can easily be saved and then uploaded to your BCS for your use. There are several basic config. files in the forums and the Wiki to get you started until you become more familiar with its...

I would be interested in knowing where you found info. on building an EBCII. I have essentially the same setup but I made the mistake of ordering the same size BK as my other kettles. Being new to brew I didnt make a well informed decision. Oh well....I will probably still try to do a 10 gallon...
