All Electric - 100%

<p class="\&quot;MsoPlainText\&quot;">I've been brewing on and off since the late 1980's, first
with malt extract kits (with mixed results) and then later with 100% wort kits
that required no boiling at all. Bored with the limited styles available, in
the Fall of 2008 I decided to spread my wings and graduate to an all-grain
setup where I could be 100% in control of the final product.</p>

}p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; }p.MsoPlainText, li.MsoPlainText, div.MsoPlainText { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Courier; }table.MsoNormalTable { font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }</style></p></p>
<p>My all-grain brewery had to meet the following criteria:
1) it had to be 100% electric for indoor brewing; 2) it had to be safe, easy
and enjoyable to use; 3) it would not limit the brewer in any way; 4) it had to
provide for extremely repeatable and consistent results; and 5) it had to use
industrial quality parts that last (all stainless steel, and limited use of
plastics).&nbsp; After failing to find a
commercially available setup that met this criteria, I decided to design and
build my own from the ground up over a twelve-month period between 2008 and
2009.&nbsp; The entire process is
documented on my website <a href="http://www.TheElectricBrewery.com" title="">TheElectricBrewery.com</a>.&nbsp; </p>

<p>The result was a twenty-gallon (76-L), 100% electric
setup (using industrial grade components) that finished with a ninety-five
percent efficiency. Like many first time all-grain brewers, my inaugural batch
using the system was a hoppy American IPA, brewed on August 21, 2009.&nbsp; It turned out perfectly.</p>

<p>Brewing for me is not about saving money, it's about the
art or craft of making beer and being able to call it my own. This is one of
the few things in life where I can point to something and proudly say,
&quot;yeah, I made that.&quot; </p>
