Somebody asked if I could post details of my 120v ebiab build. I've had great success with this set up. My brew days are fast (from start through clean up) thanks to the simplicity of the system. That said, I think there are two other elements of my "brewery" that are critical to making/serving good beer (for a total of three important elements). The other two are: (1) fermentation temp control w/ $50 mini-fridge and (2) keg/draft system.
Anyway, here's my build I hope you find it useful. I've annotated the pics too, please take a look.
Key parts:
Bayou Classic 62qt Stainless Steel Kettle (Amazon)
BargainFittings.com: 3 piece valve, weldless fittings, thermo/sight fitting
Camco 02853 1500w ULWD elements (2 from Amazon) - Note these are a mystery and are probably neither 1500w nor ULWD, either way they don't scortch
Reflectix insulation (Lowes)
Camco in-line water filter (Walmart) and potable hose (Lowes)
Electrical fittings, box, etc (Lowes)
CFL indicator lights (Radio shack)
BIAB Bag (awesome! contact your very own Wilserbrewer and get one)
And here are your pics of the rig, brewing last weekend (more pictures in next post):
