Extract brewer. Wanting to switch to BIAB with eBIAB setup. I have seen several nice electric setups, but the question I have is: Is there a 'best' kettle config?
For the basics, I want ports in the lower part of the kettle for an electric element, drain port, and temp probe. The top of the kettle is where I am not sure. Is a recirc/whirlpool port needed in the upper side? Is a port with hose connection in the lid the typical setup for recirc sparging?
I attached a kettle drawing that Spike quoted me on. Just not sure I need the TC port in the upper side. If it will come in handy, so be it. If rarely/never used, I will remove it. Just not experienced enough in the process yet to know.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
