Hi all! I have a great problem - I'm getting an unforeseen bonus in a couple of weeks and the wife has authorized me to buy a new piece of gear for brewing. I currently have a blichmann pump, a 10g SS Brewtech kettle with whirlpool attachment, an old cooler mashtun, a Hydra immersion chiller, a barley crusher mill, and a trubtrap - I think that's the main stuff. I ferment in a bucket with no temp control that I stick in the basement shower that's typically about ~68 degrees. Not a lot of temp fluctuation but maybe in summer it may get up to ~72.
I've been drooling over the ss brewtech chronical 7g with heat/cooling as my big purchase as I think that will make the most difference in the quality of my beer. Thoughts? Given the above do you think it would be overkill / isn't necessary / won't make a discernible difference? Is there something else you would buy first?
Thank you for your input! I appreciate it!
