Get a braumeister ... Just program it up and let it do its thing while you get on with more important activities...like sampling previous batches or something...

I got a 50l - it makes better beer than I ever could from my previous cooler and boiler rig, plus the misses ain't up in my face cos I'm no longer spending an entire day making beer - just set and forget. ;). But yeah, you do pay a premium for the privilege, luckily I found someone who knocked $1000 off due to a couple dents in it which doesn't affect it at all.
