I have been reading a lot of threads on HBT and various articles elsewhere on moving to electric brewing. I want to add the ability to do electric brewing mainly for weather purposes (Chicagoland, nasty winters, but also not fun to sit around a flame when it’s 96 with 100% humidity).
Currently have a spot in my basement that is under a window and near a 120v, 15 amp outlet and also near the electrical panel.
I have the G2 kettle. Have looked at 120v BoilCoil setup, which would come out to about $700 and the HotRod heat stick.
I would prefer to stick with 120v option, but can go to 240v if it is worth going up. Also, I do all grain with a very rare extract brew.
Anyone able to provide some insight as to what my best options are? (Only going to be heating water and doing boils, not a fully automated system)
