Is there a plug-n-play electric system out there other than the Speidel Braumeister? I've been brewing with coolers and a propane burner since the 1990s. I'm going to remove a wall and add a bar to our finished basement in February. I have a closet under the basement stairs that even has an electrical outlet inside, a light switch and a floor drain! It would make a great fermentation room with a little insulation and a rack mount wine chiller. The basement also has it's own HVAC zone so it's climate controlled.
I have never brewed more than 5gal batches and the last couple of years have started scaling batches down to 3gal. I like the fact that the 20L Braumeister is a self contained unit and I have no problem with the price knowing what it takes to put these things together as a diy project. Is there anything else out there that I should look at? I do not want an extensive wiring project. I am willing to spend an afternoon assembling something as long as the directions are crystal clear. I already have two electric panels in the basement (main two floors, basement/home theater w/a spa circuit).
