That is awesome for so many reasons....
I'm jelly you have gas burners!

[Beer-lord]

Wish I could but I doubt I will ever. Money, space, yada, yada, yada. I'll have to live with what I have which works fine for me.
Not saying that if some $$$$ fell my way I'd turn it down (if you want to give it to me)

[jimjohson]

nice

[BigPapaG]

Wow... That's ah.... Wow!

[FrozenInTime]

That really looks nice. Now, for my ignorance.... What does that do, what's the reasoning, advantage, how does it work, etc. Teach me o wise ones.

[BlackDuck]

That's awesome. Yes, please teach me too. I curious to what all that means. Can you explain how the recirculating process works?

[haerbob3]

One word repeatability. You are able to maintain an exact mash temp. Step mashing etc

I've been researching the 62 Quart High Gravity BIAB Electric Brewing System for my next system. I've been a gas stovetop brewer for a number of years but lately these automated brewing systems have started looking a lot more appealing than ever before. I like the idea of setting the PID controller and having the mash temperatures and length of the mash automatically maintained.

Brew in a bag will be something new for me but cutting 3 hours of of my brewday while making 10 gallons of beer sounds really good to me now.

Hey Screwy, Welcome!! Great to see you over here.

I've been drooling over some of these RIMS and HERMS systems too. A little too much for me to bite off right now, but definitely where I want to get to.

I wonder how long it takes to bring 10 gallons of wort to a boil with that system. But, it's out of my price range. Sure would make for an easier brewday.

Thanks. I signed up for the Tap Room a while back but had to figure out I needed to register to use the forum yet. Now that's out of the way I'll be stopping by more often to see what the 'old gang' has been up to.

They tell me 20 minutes to heat up to mash temperature and another 10 minutes to get a good boil going. It's got a 4500 watt heating element similar in size to an electric home hot water heater. I'm pretty excited to learn all I can about it for now, but a buy is definitely on the horizon.
