Brewer's Edge Mash and Boil Review #homebrew #electricbrewing #ebiab #biab #beer #craftbeer #allgrain

The Brewer’s Edge Mash and Boil is one of the many coffee urn based electric BIAB systems available these days. At $299.99 it comes in at the cheapest of them all. It is short a pump but does have one of the higher boiling capacities without going to 240v.

Ultimately I want to have a three vessel electric system setup for my brewhouse. Unfortunately my current house doesn’t offer an outbuilding or basement for a dedicated brewery space. I could always build one in my garage but I don’t want to deal with moving it in a few years so I’ve decided to buy one of the electric BIAB systems in the meantime for bad weather days and to fight the winter brew…

For safety reasons I decided to hire an electrician to install a 4 wire 220 volt 30 amp GFCI breaker and run the line to a receptacle near the location of the EBC-SV brew rig controller.

The EBC-SV is the heart of the eBIAB system it runs the Chugger pump and regulates the output of the heating element based on feedback from the temperature probe connected at the kettle lid.

The EBC-SV was all setup and ready to go right out of the box all it needed was to be plugged into a 220 volt outlet in order to use it.
