Yup, mine claimed to be 1800. I solved that by installing a 60w plug and upgraded my rig (to run 2 elements simultaneously).
Correct about the lid. Insulate it. Also, others have even given the kettle a double layer to further cut down time.
So, that set-up I shared earlier is on the Facebook Spike user group. I thought it was on this forum. Here is a screen shot of his set-up with a little more detail. The basket is from arborfab.
How about cold brew when not doing stouts? That is if you like coffee. There’s also nitro cream ale. People have recently been pouring IPA with nitro.
I just purchased a nitro set-up after 15 years of brewing. I purchased my tank at the local homebrew store. They have an exchange program which...
I had a 120v and it boiled 3 gallons but it took about 45 mins. In other threads about induction some reported faster boil times after insulting their kettle. I’ve seen folks use a sous vide stick with induction. If you can use a dryer plug I’d look into that and then I’d get a 240v instead.
Yes it is. I thought there was a thread on here about one that someone purchased and I can’t find it. But the person’s system ended up on their Instagram...

If Spike had one when I was shopping then I would’ve had gone with them (personal preference). They kinda have one now. But yes, you’ve got my vote for Brewha! Cheers ...
I did the same thing (took a break). Returning to brewing I did biab for sometime. But decided that I really preferred 3 vessels. Don’t ask why but that’s how it worked out.
Now, if I did keep on my BIAB method of brewing. I would’ve gone for Brewha only because of true BIAC with their built in...
I just finished my first batch with Tilt. Unfortunately I received it 3 days after the airlock because it was an impulse buy after following this thread. I hadn’t taken a reading with a hydrometer just to compare digital vs analog method. Tilt finished at 1.012 and the glass hydrometer was not...
Same thing happened to me last brew. I’m hoping for the best. Sparge water was already warm enough to rinse grains so I collected my wort, threw the lid on, and called it a night. Next day I boiled. Target og was 1.065 and I got 1.068. Settled out to 1.012. Cold crashing now so I’ll find out in...
Did anyone purchase one? Seems it is similar to ...

But without the built in single impeller.
Software is definitely the way to go. I used a formula before but the brew software just does it all in one action. I’m using Brewer’s Friend.
But here’s the way to do it ...

For me it’s just right. I can do 5-10 gallons using all 3 vessels just fine. If I feel like doing less I can brew BIAB style in just the boil kettle. Or I might just use the BK and MT together for a 2 vessel.
I took a break from brewing for a few years. I got back into it with brew in a bag...
