Designing every pieceof our electric brewing equipment from scratchhas enabled us to introduce a new level of process control, flexibility, and performance. Every detail has been carefully thought through and refined.
Beginning with control, our eControllers include a fully proportional PID output, which doesn't rely on SSR's or high speed switching to modulate heat. Instead, voltage is modulated, this means element wattage is proportional, and can befine-tuned from 0-100% for holding temps steady during a mash rest, or dialing in a perfect rolling boil. The eController quickly finds equilibrium with environmental heat loss characteristics, and can maintain a high degree of accuracy.
Next, we thought about the best way to maintain a high level of flexibility. One such method was using a common interconnect throughout our line of eControllers and eKettles, in an attempt to minimize proprietary connectors, and leverage trusted UL approved connector types. The modularity of our eBrewing system allows a user to splice an HLT or Boil Kettle into their system for instance, without having to purchase an entirely new 3 vessel brewhouse.
In addition, flexibility is realizedthrough the use of our custom-designed element and eKettle element port, which allows for easy removal of the element for cleaning. In addition, we didn't settle for a common,off the shelf straight or ripple element. Instead, we designed alow watt density haloelement, specifically sized to the correspondingkettle volume. This design is better suited to distributing heat evenly throughout the kettle, in addition to fostering an effective whirlpool and trub cone formation. Crafted from Incoloy 800 alloy, our element carries a higher resistance to heat and oxidation than standard stainless.
Lastly, performance isdeeply important to everything we design. We sized the element and controller in both 10 and 20 gallon sizesto maximize a standard 240 VAC, 30 ampresidential circuit. As a result ramp times are quick, which work to shorten the brew day. We also wanted to blend some of our latest product enhancements alongside some of our classic tech. So we decided on a kettle with fully welded TC fittings, alongsideour venerable trub dam, which is now pairedwith a TC ball valve. Even small aesthetic details were not overlooked, such as afront to back handle orientation for a more compact horizontal brewhouse layout. Or integrating a PT100 temperature probe into the heating element base, which alleviatesthe need for a dedicated thermowellport.
For the 1V eBrewing system, we are combining an eController 1V along with a 10 gallon eKettle. Thisbundle is perfect to add on to an existing 3 vessel brewhouse, such as replacing a kettle or HLT. Or it can be used as a standalone brew in a bag (BIAB) system.
