Sweet action! Fire it up!

Out of curiosity, why did you decide on a dual electric/gas system?

 

[Elfmaze]

Two reasons I liked the Hybrid system. Main reason is I do not have 220V out in my garage. So with the hybrid design all I need is one 15 amp 110v plug to keep it all moving.

Second reason is I went to a brew day where everyone had there rigs outside in a parking lot and getting enough power and water to the site was a nightmare. With the optional fuel and a clean bucket I can run a static mash, batch sparge and bucket vorlauf. Dont need any electric at all and can still get through a brew day.

But I still wanted the stability of electric when I had it available.


I can see in the future adding 5500W elements into my HLT an Boil kettles to go full electric. but will probably keep the burners for backup/ remote locations

Well filled up the HLT with 10 gallons of water to test the plumbing...

opened the exit of the HLT and exit of the MLT. The water should have flowed via gravity into the MLT to back fill it. No such luck. I guess there is too much internal resistance on the lines and "T" by the pump? I need to lower the MLT's assembly a foot below the level of the HLT to get a trickle out of the line. Doesn't sound right to me but i guess i'll have to use the pump?

I think your Ipad had a siezure with your signature.
