After around 5 years of all grain brewing 5 gallon batches I am itching to upgrade to 10g. I'm also looking at swithcing to electric brewing. I believe the panel in my garage has enough room for another dedicated circuit. While reviewing various options I stumbled on the
Nano Brewer System from Colorado Brewing Systems (20g pot) but I can't find other reviews about this system.
I've exchanged emails and thus far the response and support has been amazing. The price is very good but I suppose for a single vessel system it should be cheaper than the 3 vessel systems. If anyone has any experience with either this system from this company or one like it please share them. After considering things for a while the concerns I have are:
FWIW, my current setup is 2 kettles and a cooler for the mash. I use a propane burner in the garage (door open of course). My main goal is to save brew time by upgrading to 10g and thus not having to brew two weeks in a row to hit 10g. However after researching more I'm very eager to get control over my mash temps and the idea of not running out of propane is exciting.

If anyone has any experience with either this system from this company or one like it please share them. After considering things for a while the concerns I have are:
- Not many reviews to be found
- Can I really get 80% efficiency with this hybrid of RIMS/BIAB/single vessel system?
- Since the single vessel is 20g, my ability to produce a full 10g batch of a heavy beer is seriously limited comapred to a 3 vessel system.
- Is there a noticeable difference with body when you can't control the water to grain ratio?
