Been brewing for 5 years now and want to make the switch to electric beginning of the year.
Would like some feedback as to which system would be best. I need a turnkey system, no DIY panels as I have no electrical experience or knowledge to piece one together.
I brew 6 gal batches with an avg OG of 1.060 and under. Want to stay with BIAB. Budget is $1500 or less. All of the systems below would be at or under $1500 except the SS Brew Tech which doesn't include most of the items I would need therefore pushing the price beyond my budget.
The Brewzilla isn't BIAB but could mash in a cooler with a bag but prefer not to go that route. I like the Clawhammer but I would not be able to brew full volume as the kettle is only 10 or 10.5 gal. High Gravity has a larger kettle but doesn't come with a BIAB basket so that would be an additional purchase however the kettle is larger but not fond of the Bayou Classic pot.
Just looking for thoughts/advice on which route I should go. Want this to be a one time purchase that will provide years of brewing.
I have read as much as I could on the web about all of the below systems and I'm honestly leaning towards the Clawhammer but would like Pro's and Cons of each from brewers who have used these systems.
