First it's great to see such an active community of BIAB brewers. I've looked around Reddit and another great site Biabrewer.info but sadly that last site isn't very active these days. I've had a membership to the site for about a year but haven't been on in a while. While I was looking into diy vs commercial ebiab setups I come across short circuited brewers on YouTube that reminded me of this site. So for my question what do you guys think about the electric options out there (induction, commercial products, diy)? I mainly aim for 3 gallons into the fermenter but don't want to rule out a system capable of something larger as I do enjoy RIS and big Belgian beers that I would like to brew. I'm currently using a homemade bag and bayou classic in a 5.5 gal SS Brewtech kettle. There are no 240v plugs in my garage but I'm not opposed to wiring one since my panel has the capacity and unused space. My main reason for wanting to go electric is to get indoors so the weather doesn't decide when I brew and I feel like repeatability might be easier to achieve in terms of mash temps with electric systems using a PID. Sorry for the long post.
