Perfect for brewing 5 or 10 gallon batches. It's a homebrew setup like you've never seen. Not sure what \"brew in a bag\" is? Read on.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Brew in a Bag?\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eTypical brewing systems require 2 or even 3 different vessels (pots, pans, kettles, etc...). Ours only uses 1. That's because we've integrated stainless steel grain and hop baskets (instead of lame nylon bags) into the design, which can be removed after use. This allows mashing, boiling, hop additions, etc. to be done in the same kettle. For example, once you're done mashing, simply lift the basket, install basket support clips, and allow the grain to drain into the kettle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eOur New Touchscreen Brewing Controller\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this system is a brewing computer we designed and built ourselves, not a thermostat with a temperature readout. You build the recipe once, send it to the kettle, and the controller runs the whole day: it heats the strike water on a schedule, holds every mash step, detects a real boil, calls out every hop addition by name, times the whirlpool, and hands you a brew report at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eYour Water Doesn’t Boil at 212°F\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere is a real barometric pressure sensor on the board. The controller works out the boiling point from live air pressure and shows your elevation and \"BOILS AT\" right on the screen. At 5,000 feet your water boils around 202°F, and the controller knows that. It declares boil at your actual boiling point instead of waiting for a hard coded 212°F that will never arrive. That same reading is the reference when you calibrate your probe.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eYour Recipes, On the Kettle in Seconds\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuild a recipe in our own Beer Builder, press send, and it's on the kettle with the mash steps and the hops named. Already use Brewfather? Enter your API key once and your recipes show up in the same list. BeerSmith, Brewer's Friend or anything else that exports BeerXML? Drop the file on the pairing page and it lands on the kettle too.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIt Tunes Itself To Your Kettle\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne button auto-tune heats the kettle, learns how it responds, and saves the result, about an hour on 240v and mostly hands off. Two point probe calibration, ice water and a rolling boil, gets your temperatures honest. And once a true boil is detected the controller eases the power back so you hold a rolling boil instead of climbing toward a boilover, which matters on a kettle this size.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSet It and Walk Away\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSchedule your start and the controller works backwards to fire the element at the right moment, so the water is hot when you want it. On screen you get a live status word, the measured heat rate and an ETA to target. And if the power drops mid brew, it offers to pick the day back up exactly where it left off, asking first whether the pump should come back on.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIt Gets Better Every Month\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSigned over the air updates come from our own servers. The controller you buy today is not the controller you'll own in six months, and every update reaches every unit already sold, free.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe Rest of What It Does\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull guided brew day: mash, mash out, boil, hop additions, whirlpool, chill, done.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUp to 8 mash steps, each with its own temperature, time and optional name.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGrain in gate.

This version replaces our PID digital controller with the touchscreen brewing computer described above: recipe import, guided brew days, the barometer, scheduled start, power loss resume and over the air updates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clawhammer Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47215836070086,"sku":"CHS-20-240v-TS","price":2399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/6682\/files\/20_Gallon_240_Transparent_0.75x.jpg?v=1789598214","url":"https:\/\/www.clawhammersupply.com\/products\/20-gallon-electric-home-brewing-system-touchscreen-240v-biab","provider":"Clawhammer Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
