So, I'm getting ready to move over to eBIAB. I'm leaning towards getting the Wort Hog EBC-130 for my controller.
But what I'm going back and forth on is my element choice. I have no TC fitting on my kettles (15 and 20 gallon) for a Ripple element, so no matter my choice, holes will need to be made.
The good I see with the BoilCoil is I can keep the bag in contact with the coil if heat is needed to keep the mash at temp, or recirculate if I please. And, I can install myself. The bad is that it's always in there.
The ripple needs TC soldered on (don't want the weldless and I'd leave the soldering part up to Brew Hardware) and a false bottom. But it's something that's removable for cleaning and if I want to brew on the road with propane.
So, what say the masses?
