I originally wanted to copy a 50L braumeister , since theyre so compact and efficient, but in order to copy one you need a custom element which according to aussie home brewers can cost between $200 and $300 .... so at work i have a fair few beer brewers that do HERMS , RIMS and BIAB that i can count on for details. Since i will mainly be using this for peated scotches ,,, then later on ill be movie onto beers ,,, mainly IPA , little creatures, fat yack etc. so this is going to useful for a long time.
This is the base that im going to use , its a 60L aluminium pot

Ive already sourced my voltage controller , for the time being its going to be manual using a PID and voltage SSR-25

Eventually once its all running im going to a PIC programmed controller with a digital display, so its automatic ,,, but baby steps first.
i figure this way with constant water feeding over the element via the pump there is a reduced risk to scortch the grain and unlike the braumeister you can fill to any level , unlike a braumeister that cant do smaller batches than what its designed for ??? ...
Any thoughts ???
