1. Hell, yes, kegging is easier.1. First thing was Kegging. See everyone above. lol
2. Brewing software. Big upgrade for making and managing recipes, adjusting water, and interacting on the forum.
3. Going inside Electric was the biggest change for me. Its HAH outside. 240v is Fast and E is precise with a BrewCommander.
4. Glycol controlled fermentation temperature was huge for precise control. Slightly more hassle but no need for an extra fridge.
5. Making it easier on me: I got tired of the 5.5-6hr brew days with the 3V Herms system. Splitting my brew day by doing the mash at night and boil the next morning was big. Now i'm working on downsizing to a 2V with heated mash tun and shaving more time. maybe even go back to BIAB.
*Not a huge change in brewing but the TILT is super fun and handy. Now if BF would not log me out on my old iphone it'd be great.
2. Blichmann Burner
3. Learned about lagers
4. A pulley for the bag.
5. Learned how to relax and have a homebrew after the planning stage is done.
Wes, I can usually start strike water just before 8 and be done by noon to take the wife out for someone else's beer. The bag doesn't take much longer than extract brewing. The only time difference is getting full volume to temperature. That is where the Blichmann comes in The option to use 110,000 BTUs sucks down some propane but works wonderfully.
