I have been wanting to add electricity to my brew day for quite some time and am hopefully close to pulling the trigger. I have two primary goals:
1) Consistency throughout the mashing process. I started with a cooler and stainless braid setup and just haven't been happy with the consistency of my OG. I know others have great results but I couldn't seem to get consistency.
2) Ability to make 10 gallon batches.
With that said here is my proposed brew day:
1) Heat the mash water with a propane burner
2) Mash with the RIMS element and PID control panel
3) Heat Sparge water with propane burner
4) Transfer sparge water to cooler when temp is reached
5) Gravity feed mash water into brew kettle while pumping sparge water from the cooler to the mash tun
I already purchased my RIMS tube from brewhardware with all necessary hardware. I also have 3 converted kegs, 1 pump & a PICO false bottom to mash in my keggle mashtun with. I am seriously considering buying this pre-built 30 Amp BIAB control panel from Ebrewsupply which would make my setup complete:

Can any of you identify any issues with my brew day plan?
Thanks in advance!
