Hello, all. I am taking the eBrewing plunge, and come to you humbly soliciting advise, criticism, and help. I keep waffling back and forth between a traditional HLT-based herms and a separate, smaller self-contained hex for my system. Currently it is based on 2 10G coolers and a 15G kettle. 5G batches are my norm, with the occasional 10G batch or partigyle thrown in.
The building I am turning into my brew shack has one 240/30A and 2 120/20A (one is shared by the lighting) circuits available, and I have definitely determined that I will be using the bcs460 as the heart of my control system.
What are thoughts on the relative merits of the two types of herms? I have read extensively, but want opinions on that from people who currently use or have used both types. Also, what is the best configuration (either way) to use my available circuits effectively. Does one method provide faster ramping to mashout vs the other? Does it not matter? Indecision is a b!tch. Thanks in advance!
