I heat my strike water with the two elements, one with the controller and one at full-blast plugged directly into an outlet on a separate breaker. When I get to my mash temp I just unplug the full-blast element. The controlled 1600w element maintains mash temps perfectly. When it's time to boil...

I've been using mine for a little while now. Upgraded to the dual element setup with 2x1600w elements. It's a must IMO if anyone plans on brewing on 110/120v. The single element works, but the dual elements are just so much better with heating times and boil. So far the system has been great...

Heyooooooo!

I can measure mine for you tonight or tomorrow if you'd like. Their manual states : 16x20” basket in / 16x30” basket up

Co-signed! Interested to hear when the next one might come around.

Perfect. Thanks so much fellahs.

Looking to add a second element to my Unibrau setup. Loving it so far, just would like a little quicker heating times to shorten the brew-day, as well as add some vigor to the boil. The element I have in there now is 1600w and works fairly well. The boil isn't the most intense, but it moves...

Keep in mind that people are much more likely to take the time to write a negative review than a positive one.

I've had mine since October 2016 and have gone through 10 batches or so with no issues yet. 6-7 gallon boils. Note that I do not mash in my kettle with mine, but many people do.

Suuuuuper interested and would like to look into it more one day soon. If you don't mind I might PM you or tag you in this thread to maybe ask a few questions about your setup!

Really interested in adapting something like this to my Unibrau eventually. I'm just a little...overwhelmed by all the reading I've done in this thread! I'm not the best DIY'er.

I'm not so sure! I would have to say yes. Being that the basket is designed to kind of "shoulder" onto the boil kettle, it means I can't submerge it fully into another kettle to soak. It's rather large, and I brew exclusively in my one-bedroom apartment. I end up letting it drain as much as...

I'm a few batches in with my Unibrau V3. The quality of the parts are all very, very solid. The few things I would like to change : - The hop basket is not sized properly for what I want to brew. If I keep my boil volumes to around 6-6.5 gallons, the 6x14 basket only submerges around 1/3 of...

Drats, just sold my dude. So sorry! (yes 5 gallon, though).

I hear you. Info can be scarce. I use mine with a Bayou Tri-Ply 10 gallon kettle. Dimensions listed online for this kettle have the base diameter at 13.6". I've never had a problem with it at all. The kettle itself is listed at 14.35lb, and a gallon of 1.060 wort weighs around 8.85lb. So...

Good question! It's a big box, so I'd probably have to get a quote.

Hudson Valley NY area. Non-spigot version (though there is a round marking for a punch if you choose to add a spigot). Great, great fermentor! $20

With most things : do it right or do it twice, buy once cry once etc. etc.

The scene, if anyone is interested.

Well, all I can say is I'm very happy with the finish and functionality of the V3. All the other secondary stuff like this controller is better than controller, thermostats etc. etc. I don't care to speak towards. I set my mash temp, recirc'd and it held where I wanted it to. Not rocket science...
