When the folks from Clawhammer Supply offered to let me use their all-in-one 240v Electric BIAB System, I gave it the once-over, determined it hit all the marks for what I was looking for, and agreed to put it through its paces. A couple things I knew I wanted in an electric system were 240v power to reduce my total brew day time, and a single vessel setup. With a growing family, I found myself wanting to simplify my brewing as much as possible without negatively impacting the quality of my beer. I’d brewed on a few different single vessel electric rigs with friends, all of whom seemed quite happy with their respective choices, and my experiences were positive as well. I made minimal changes to this particular system over the ensuing years and it treated me quite well, though as the popularity of all-in-one electric brewing systems began to grow a couple years ago, so too did my interest. This seemed liked a logical choice at the time not only because it was quite common among other homebrewers, but it was also more cost effective than the sexy-but-cumbersome HERMS and RIMS systems I’d been reading about.

It didn’t take long for me to realize the small batches I was making wasn’t enough to satisfy the desires of my thirsty companions, so I expanded my production volume to 5 gallons/19 liters using a multi-tiered propane setup with a 10 gallon/38 liter insulated cooler MLT and a 10 gallon/38 liter kettle. When I started brewing, I used gear that would fit inside my small 1 bedroom apartment and allow me to make beer on my natural gas stove.
