I am an extract brewer and want to jump into all grain. I don't want to buy equipment that I don't really need for long term plans for a small electric brewing system. Here are my main objectives:
1) brew small batches of 2.5 or 5 gals tops.
2) I would like to use a 120v eletric system for all grain.
3) Long term I'd like to be able to control it with automation software.
I have an 8 gal brew pot, not sure if its stainless or not.
What other equipment would I need.
Do I really need 3 brewpots?? like I see on the electric brewing website.
That's going to get pricey.
I know about needign ball valve, heating element,etc.
Is there an example of something similar I could try to emulate.
Thank you very much for any help
