I want to thank everyone for chiming in with your thoughts. Now I just have to decide which route to go. I'm leaning towards the induction option and may just stick with refectix to hold mash temps or possibly a ulwd element on 120v circuit in a rims tube. This way nothing in permanently in the...

I definitely agree with the 10 gallon kettle being the way to go. I should have just got it when I upgraded from a stockpot. Small batches are great since I can brew more often that way. Not saying I'll ever go to a full 5 gallon batch but I the idea of having the option.

I like the frame you have there, was thinking about doing something similar. Is it attached to the bench or freestanding? I've got some scrap wood laying around but want to keep it from being too bulky so that you can tuck it away when I'm done. Unfortunately my ladder isn't tall enough or I'd...

It definitely seems to me the wilserbags are the best option, I've seen some templates for sewing your own but why when his are available. Do you have a link for the pulley you use? Cheers Tony

I appreciate the heads up on the handles. I've been lifting the bag and letting it drain but I just had back surgery so some of my processes have to change for a bit.

That's a very reasonable price on the warranty for a little piece of mind. I thought about the Anvil kettle too but for the price I feel like the SS might be the better buy. Is that a brew bag? Thinking of picking one up as I like the sturdy handles that you can hook to a pulley like you did...

I know it's likely overkill and may not even be possible on smaller batches but I've heard of people building 240v/50a setups. This would allow me to use the outlet my stove is occupying. What are your thoughts on that? I'm not opposed to stepping up some equipment for the ability to easily...

Thanks for the welcome. I've looked at the Avantco cooktops before but I've seen mixed reviews. I'm guessing you're happy with yours or would you look at another brand? Yeah depending on the target gravity I've wound up with less than 3 gallons. Not a huge deal as I don't have anyone else in the...

First it's great to see such an active community of BIAB brewers. I've looked around Reddit and another great site Biabrewer.info but sadly that last site isn't very active these days. I've had a membership to the site for about a year but haven't been on in a while. While I was looking into diy...

Steve, I unplugged the connection from the control board, shown at the bottom right of the attached photo, and made sure it was outside of the cover when it was secured to the bottom of the fridge. As you can see it is currently holding within .4 degrees of the set temp. I also ran the...

The fridge is a tramontina 126 can beverage center I picked up from the local Sam's Club for 159.00

****Update Update Update**** For anyone with this fridge and an inkbird itc-308 you can override the digital thermostat easily. First things first, unplug the mini fridge from its power source. Next, grab short handled Phillips head and unscrew the small black box mounted to the underside of the...

I just bought one of these and I see you have an external temp controller hooked up. What did you have to do to get it going or was it plug and play? I wasn't sure if you had to disconnect the built in digital thermostat. Thanks ahead of time. Tony
