Just tryin' to figure out, what you're trying to do......

If you have 2 open spots in your breaker panel it should be no problem. I'm sure Blichmann has recommendations for breaker size (probably 30A). An electrician should be able to run a line for about $100-$150 no problem.
Any orders on release day were looking at 3-week delivery times due to the units drop-shipping from Blichmann's plant in Indiana. It will probably be a couple of weeks till we see any feedback on HBT.
How you can launch a $2k product like this without any YouTube videos or teasers is beyond me.
Not sure if you got a response to this, but I just had an electrician come to my house and install a 240V outlet in my garage- it cost me $160.
Awesome! Thank you.
I did something similar inspired by the BrewEasy. In this photo I had some grain in the bag but have now upsized the mash tun so I can fit it all without the bag. You could easily DIY the controller but I went with the Blichmann TOP. I'll post a pic of my updated setup when I brew this weekend.View attachment 198254

Just sold my motorcycle (responsibility decision) and got the OK to spend it on the Breweasy! Ordered it through Great fermentations in Indiana. Drop shipping means that it could be another two weeks before I get it in my paws, but whenever it makes it's way to my doorstep, I'll post my specs and review here

Anyone else order their electric version yet?
'Yes. Ordered last Friday from Great Fermentations. I expect it may take 3 weeks to arrive directly from Blichmann. Been waiting a long time for this to become available, so another few weeks is tolerable.
Guess I better start wiring or call an electrician. Probably the latter given my schedule lately. Looking forward to a test drive!
NH winters are long and cold, and I am so over sticking my propane tank in a hot water bath on my deck.
Wondering about the need for a hood. Air is wicked dry in the winter, so maybe it will just provide some nicely scented humidity in my kitchen. Worst case, I can open a window. Can't see adding a hood the more I think about it.
I will put my 10g Boilermaker, burner and other stuff up for sale soon since I went with the turnkey electric BrewEasy.
What to brew first? Maybe a winter warmer...
I got to see both the gas and electric running at great fermentations over the weekend. The guys from Blichman were there showing demos. Very cool products. Like falling off a log to operate and once your up to temp and mashed in you literally walk away. At least for an hour😀. Electric and gas both held mash temps within a degree the whole time. They did mention if doing the electric 5g version to go up to 220v if possible as the 110v is really slow to get to a boil. The guy showing it uses it exclusively at his house now. He ditched his 3 kettle set up. He also said that he does not use the little plastic inserts to limit the flow rate from the mash to draining to the boil kettle. He has an o ring instead of the flow ristricter. He has it wide open and just throttles flow with his pump.
