They been sending a ton of emails about his system they're about to debut.  Any one know the capacity?

[Murphy]

I'm sure Denny will know, he's on their website

[Murphy]

some quick googling shows it will do 10 gallon batches

[cavman]

10 gallons and 220v as it would need to be.

[armagh]

Apparently they are 2.5 gallon systems, they can be stacked up to four high.

That is correct.  You can in theory brew up to 4 different 2.5 gal. batches at a time if you want to.  Or 2 5s, or one 10, oe one 7.5 and one 2.5....you get the idea.

Price isn't as high as the speculation.

[jimdkc]

$1500??? Still too expensive!

 

I want a 2.5 gallon system that runs on 110VAC that you can use your own recipes with (NOT Pico Packs) that's closer to the price of the Pico C (which ties you to either using Pico Packs or their dismal, severely limited online method of creating your own expensive Pico Packs).

You could use Robobrew or Mash and Brew which are basically BIAB, but they won't nearly as automated.

I'm putting together my own based on a sous vide cooker and an induction cooktop...

Interested in your thoughts and how you would design it.  

[Deerslyr]

Been thinking about it this morning.  Why not build a small RIMS system where the pump and tube with the element has the ability to connect to both the mash tun and the boil?

How are you gonna do the automation?

Probaby not!

[denny]

Probaby not!

 

When you said you were putting together your own I guess I assumed it would have the same features.

[jimdkc]

Most of the automation is built into the sous vide... probably doesn't need much more.

 

Sure I'd like an automated system. Not gonna drop $2000 on one...

One of the "perks" is the automated hops addition.  I was assuming that was part of the automation Denny was referencing.

Indeed.  It's the overall integration of the system.

But that takes all the "brewer feeling" out of it
