Converting from gas to electric? or just the redundancy of having both? looks like your set for up for dual elements too...

3rd rig build and it was my first dive into electric. I was insecure about completely giving up on gas :)

The other thoughts were... (1) Stay at 30A. Sometimes we will do multiple batches during a brew day. Boil one on gas while mashing the next batch on electric. (2) Until I saw it for myself, I was insecure about rise times on step mashing on electric only. (3) The option of powering it with 120V so if I bring the rig somewhere that doesn't have 240/30, Just use gas but still have temp displays and pumps. (4) Made the HLT element selectable for either the HLT sensor and PID, or the Mash/Wort sensor and pid. Tuned for both. Sure, I could just set the HLT PID about 2F above what I want to mash at, but conditions change. Let the Mash PID do it's job and be more than be a temp display. (5) Portable and self contained. Shove it all in a corner of the garage when not in use.

Funny thing is... I've never used the burners
 
About 80% complete. Mostly using the plans from Electric Brewery with some minor layout changes and PID selection changes. Planning to be completely up and running in about 4 months (funding restrictions!!!)
