I'm planning the switch to electric brewing and started looking into recirculating eBIAB. I like the approach, but came across 2 vessel brewing which I hadn't heard of. What I like about it is there's no need to lift and strain a bag and has higher efficiency.
This video shows a 1BBL setup, but no reason it couldn't be downsized.
Here's an article on it as well:

I could use some advice on setting it up.

I could use some advice on setting it up.
My current hot-side equipment:
- Edelmettal 15 gallon kettle with a tangential whirlpool
- 2 chugger pumps
- 2 coolers (1 has false bottom and sparge attachment)
- Plenty of camlocks/triclamp/silicone hose
- Blichmann Therminator plate chiller
What I plan to do:
- Retrofit the kettle with a triclamp stainless heating element, likely 240, but 120 still on the table
- Add temperature probe to the kettle
- Initially use the cooler mash tun and replace next year with Blichmann
For the controller, I'm looking 3 choices:
- Get a 1V controller like Auber cube 2. During brew day, put the temp probe in the mash tun and it controls the heater in the kettle. Then switch probe to kettle for the boil
- Get a 2v controller like EBC 330. Although I'm not sure how it works when not heating the mash tun. In the video, they had both heaters on the kettle
