    Is there an electric controller that...

    So will the UniFlex from BruControl. It can be configured to run two kettles off of a 30A connection, and it can be upgraded and expanded. It's also about $500 cheaper than the equivalent eBrewHardware box. When you pair it with the control software and start using the scripting capability, it...

    BruControl Uniflex: Automation For All

    @RonBurgundy10 Really glad to see you are having success. I have been a BC advocate since I went through my Mega build a couple of years ago, and have appreciated the comprehensive support from @BrunDog along the way. He's built some awesome tools, and I'm hoping that the UniFlex and some...

    Kal panel vs Brew Buddy II vs Brewcommander

    Gack. I have enough of those bus driver's holidays myself.

    Kal panel vs Brew Buddy II vs Brewcommander

    It's actually a lot less work. So much of my brew day has been freed up for other things. When it's time, I get a nice, mild chime and I know I need to go pay attention. I also can't tell completely from your posts, but using BruControl doesn't mean developing Arduino sketches. BC is a front...

    Kal panel vs Brew Buddy II vs Brewcommander

    That's @Die_Beerery's rig. His whole process has been built around BruControl, and is an amazing example of how that software can expand to accommodate the most over-the-top implementation imaginable. The thing is, right in line with Kal's argument, BruControl allows that manual control. The...

    Is this safe?

    204VAC kinda implies 3⏀ power. You should double check to make sure it is compatible with household single-phase power.

    Spike Complete System

    I have been using the software for over two years. Works great, and the support is top shelf.

    Spike Complete System

    You might also consider taking a look at the UniFlex from BruControl...It's about $1300 all in, and does a fair bit more.

    Palm Beach County Group Buy?

    I work in Broward, so the drive might not be so bad after all.

    Palm Beach County Group Buy?

    I've been through most of a bag of 2-row, a bag of Maris, and a bag of Pilsener since the first of Feb. I'm thinking of starting with replacing that, and getting some Mosaic, Cascade, and Citra.

    There is better stuff than Brewhardware.

    Sous vide question

    There are some interesting steam condensers available. Big hoods aren't really necessary.

    Damn...It took me a while to find my own thread.

    Sous vide question

    Add in the wife's garden tools and the household laundry and the kitchen trash and the kid's baseball clobber and you're getting close to my level of clutter.

    Sous vide question

    Automation would give you the ability to plug in a temperature and a duration, and the joy of walking away from the rig, knowing that the temp will be spot-on and an alarm will sound when the time has elapsed. Plenty of time to dig into the carburetor on the Chevelle or the Adirondack benches...

    The hero we need is the guy that can brew a stout while smoking a brisket and cooking a tomahawk ribeye sous vide. Goals.
