Assuming it had to be very compact and "pretty"..?
The reason I ask is because I am rebuilding my cobbled together 3 vessel single tier system of keggles/coolers its in shambles as we moved. I want to go all electric. So heres why I ask: I showed my wife the video of the Speidel Braumeister a couple weeks ago and said it was too expensive but kinda cool. I went on my merry way to build a single-vessel-biab-electric setup and ordered an 82qt bayou pot...It showed up last night...She says "really..you are buying more ugly crap....why dont you just buy that nice one and be done!" It came up yet again today....I feel like I'm getting pressured from my non-brew-savvy-beer-hating-wife to buy a nice expensive brew setup!!
So I know there are some goods and bads with the speidel...I havent researched it enough to know the details though. I usually do 5 or 10g batches and would like to continue that. 10g would prob be my norm, unless its a big beer.
So I'm not wondering if there are some good options for a compact electric brewery that would give me flexibility as well as meet the wife-pretty factor (aka...contained/hidden into a 1 or 2 vessels without a mass of tubes/wires/ghetto-equipment sprawled everywhere).
If you were in my shoes what would you do? I dont want to miss my window here
Thanks all,
