Even if it were a manual system, have no idea nor the electrical know how to automate

I currently use propane with the ability to use natural gas, either way it would be manually fired, no controller. I don't have any electrical know how.

I have been all grain brewing for about 4 years now, I use a 15 gallon kettle, 10 HLT, igloo cooler mashtun. The wife has given me the ok, and I have the money to spend. My question is, is it worth it. Will it make better beer. I make pretty good brew as is, will this just complicate things and...

I'm not an expert in whirlpool techniques but I do know that cooling the wort down as quickly as possible is key to getting a good cold break. I guess you could wait u til temp came down a bit then keep the chiller running and whirlpool while it's cooling. Also I don't think there is a need to...

Looking at around 90 IBU's. About 50 for bittering with the first addition and the rest from late additions

Manually lol. I use my mash paddle to keep the wort swirling, nothing too crazy. Then I cool, aerate, and pour the whole thing into the fermenter

So i also considered doing a 90 minute boil but if your not using pilsner there really isn't a point in boiling the extra time. If you get a recipe together make sure to post it would love to see what ya got brewing. I have never used mosaic but I have heard good things

Thanks for all the help guys. So I had a bunch of Summit and I brewed an all summit IPA that is fermenting away right now, but now that I have all these new hops, I am think maybe I should dry hop with the new inventory. I have Amarillo, Citra, Centennial, Cascade, Simcoe, Columbus, and...
