I've finally had enough of my three vessel all-electric HERMS, suitable for 11 gallon batches.
I'm old, tired, lazy, and drinking less. All of you have all sorts of great ideas and set ups, but I can't sort through all of them and ask the kind of questions I want to.
I saw the Grainfather a while back, and it was a bit messy with lifting up the basket.
Does what I want actually exist?
Wants:
1. NOT too messy, as I brew in the laundry room.
2. NOT too heavy or bulky as I'm a 135 pound weakling (and old and lazy)
3. Capable of 5 gallon no-sparge batches.
I've been doing no-sparge single infusion mashes lately and LOVE it.
Preferences:
1. 220 v (faster)
2. Easy and simple for a dummy like me
3. Can be set up on a table or otherwise without too much lifting or bending on my old bones.
4. No need for programming/API/bluetooth stuff
Pictures would be especially helpful as would be any experiences and pros/cons on what you have. I am so rural that I have only ever seen a couple- one was a Grainfather circa 2018 and the Picobrew at HomebrewCon. I actually liked the picobrew idea, but sure glad I didn't buy one!
Thanks for any help you can give this crabby old lady.
