So I have decided to go electric so I can brew in my basement and have only done one all grain batch so far about 2 years ago. New job and moving to a new house and have had little time to brew. Before that I was brewing on my stove. So my question is should I go back and use my cooler with a manifold in it and convert my keggle to electric or go e-biab. I like the idea of less equipment to clean when done but other than that i am up in the air. Right now all I have on the keggle is a ball valve. So my question is do I start over and spend money in a spikes pot for biab or take my keggle and have modified and have everything welded on it. Was thinking I would use still dragons tc 2" element housing a tc ball valve and a tc port to whirlpool / recirculate. Not sure if I would need a site glass or any holes for a temp probe. Looking at brumatic DBC1MA to control a ebrewsuppy 304 ss 5500w element. I think this would work for mashing in my cooler but not sure how a bag would get pulled out of the keggle due to the opening being smaller than the size of the keggle itself. I would think the bag would get caught on the lip. If going with the spikes kettle for biab would you have anything else welded onto it other than what I was thinking for my keggle. Any pics of your setup would be great.
Thanks Rod
