So I've been trolling the forums for the better part of the day, and i'm trying to weigh pros and cons between a three tier and a single tier setup
I have an old square tube basketball pole from my driveway which could serve as the center mount for some tiers on a three tier build. My step-dad is a welder and has a full metal work shop so the welding is not an issue.
If I buy some burners for each of the tiers or at least two of them, and decided later on to go single tier I could reuse them, but I kind of like the idea of a single pump three tier setup and using gravity from the HLT to the MLT
It seems like to get a single tier build going, it would be a lot more expensive, all of the DIY single tiers i see people have electronically controlled burners and several pumps to go between the stages of brewing.
I am currently just doing 5 gallon batches, I have gone from extract to all grain for the last two batches, and will probably continue with just all grain (a more enjoyable process IMO)
I have also recently used the aquarium themocontroller build thread to do up a thermocontroller with the STC controller I got off ebay. I have 5 gallons of oktoberfest going at 53deg right now
Thoughts on three tier versus single tier?
