Hey all-
I want to build an electric brew kettle. Currently I'm brewing with a 3 gallon pot on an electric range. It's a bit of a pain in the ass and my girlfriend is going to kill me if I make another mess on the stove. Gas isn't an option as I live in an apartment.
So, I want to buy/build a nice electric kettle. I've been looking at the Blichmann 7.5 gal with a Boil Coil and a Johnson controller. Is this a good idea? Is there a better way to spend $550 and move towards electric brewing?
I currently make exclusively 5 gallon batches from DME with character grains. I ferment in kegs.
Thanks in advance!
