    Is there an electric controller that...

    So will the UniFlex from BruControl. It can be configured to run two kettles off of a 30A connection, and it can be upgraded and expanded. It's also about $500 cheaper than the equivalent eBrewHardware box. When you pair it with the control software and start using the scripting capability, it...

    BruControl Uniflex: Automation For All

    @RonBurgundy10 Really glad to see you are having success. I have been a BC advocate since I went through my Mega build a couple of years ago, and have appreciated the comprehensive support from @BrunDog along the way. He's built some awesome tools, and I'm hoping that the UniFlex and some...

    Kal panel vs Brew Buddy II vs Brewcommander

    Gack. I have enough of those bus driver's holidays myself.

    Kal panel vs Brew Buddy II vs Brewcommander

    It's actually a lot less work. So much of my brew day has been freed up for other things. When it's time, I get a nice, mild chime and I know I need to go pay attention. I also can't tell completely from your posts, but using BruControl doesn't mean developing Arduino sketches. BC is a front...

    Spike Complete System

    I have been using the software for over two years. Works great, and the support is top shelf.

    Spike Complete System

    Palm Beach County Group Buy?

    I work in Broward, so the drive might not be so bad after all.

    Palm Beach County Group Buy?

    I've been through most of a bag of 2-row, a bag of Maris, and a bag of Pilsener since the first of Feb. I'm thinking of starting with replacing that, and getting some Mosaic, Cascade, and Citra.

    There is better stuff than Brewhardware.

    Sous vide question

    There are some interesting steam condensers available. Big hoods aren't really necessary.
