After a run-in with condo management where they scolded me for using a burner on my balcony, I decided to give electric brewing a try. Why are more people not doing this?
I'm not nearly advanced as some of you but I'm really impressed after my first brew day. I used two 1500 W heatsticks for a 5 gallon batch. The boil was just as quick if not quicker than propane. I cut back to one heatstick to maintain the boil. I didn't have to worry about running out of propane or the dangers associated with propane, open flame, etc. Plus the cost of electricity is like 10% of the cost of propane.
What are the drawbacks of electric brewing? As of now, I don't see any.
