I've been wanting to upgrade my gear for a while and really went back and forth with how and what I wanted to do.
I looked long and hard at going electric but decided to stick with propane for a few reasons. It was a tough decision. Real tough.
So, I decided on archiving my 16G Bayou kettle and burner, and ordered a new Spike 10G kettle and Blichmann burner, along with a Jaded Hydra IC. I also ordered a new Wilser BIAB bag and his new hop bag with draw strings.
I got the side dip tube with the kettle and whirl pool arm for the IC. I don't currently whirl pool except with my spoon but it wasn't much more so I have it when I get a decent pump. Also got the 25" Hydra to better accommodate both the 10G and 16G kettle.
Most of my beers are low to mid gravity, and 5G batches, so I figure this set up will be ideal. If I want to "go big" then I'll bring the 16G out of retirement!
Can't wait to get my new gear and brew a good Pilsner!
Man, it would be cheaper to just buy beer but not nearly as much fun!
