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.
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!!!)
