Hey All,
You can brew two batches in half the time with this system. While you are boiling the wort for the 1st batch, you can be mashing or heating strike water for the second. I’ve brewed 6 batches in one day with this and it only took 15 hours
The 240V Camco element is wired for 120V but can be easily converted. I mainly used it to maintain my mash temps +/- 1 degree. Also I use it on a timer so my strike water is ready when I wake up. VERY VERY convenient. I’ve placed enough pumps inline that you can clean in place. It’s a great HERMS system. The stand could use a good coat of high temp engine block paint but it’s easy to do and I'd be happy to do it.

Asking $4,500.00 for EVERYTHING!!! I may decide to part out at a later time. Figured I try this route first. Also if someone buys the entire bundle I will brew with you to orientate you to the system (if within 100 miles), I may also be able to assist with delivery if close enough. I’m in Champaign, IL.
I hate to do this but I'm in my final year of MBA school and I really need the money to pay for tuition.
Thanks for looking!
