Hey all,
I am looking for advice on what route yall would go if you started homebrewing all over again. My two brothers and I have been talking about home brewing for about a year now. None of us have brewed yet, but Ive read Big Book of Homebrewing and How to Brew. We want an all-in-one electric system that produces 10g or 15g (split into 3 corny kegs makes sense for us). My brother just redid his garage and is about to add a sub-panel for 30amp 240v outlet. We want something that simplifies the brewing process so we are still enjoying it years down the road and are not frustrated with 7 hour brew days.
Since we are splitting everything 3-ways, Ive been looking into a nicer setup like the 240v 15/20g Brew-Boss. What other options would you consider better for the price? The Blichmann Breweasy looks great but pretty pricey at $2230. I've read some people say SS and ClawHammer should be releasing a 240v 10g system soon... Should we wait? What about Unibrau, High Gravity or Grounded Brewing? We're looking for an all-in-one type setup. Some have mentioned waiting for Black Friday for possible discounts.
Also, we live in Houston and will need a fermentation chamber so any advice in this area will be much appreciated. Essentially, Im looking for advice on how you would do your entire setup if you had to start all over...the system, fermentation chamber, fermenters, grain mill, etc. Im setting up a budget so we can get the process started.
Any and all advice is much appreciated. Thank you so much.
