Represto wrote:Ya, I'd love to hear about the 150L bain marie. Did you have a single-walled boiler prior? If you can give your impressions of efficiency compared to single-walled that would be awesome. Also interested in the pain-in-the-ass factor of running the steam jacket.
Do you have a link to the unit you are using? Or something similar?

Represto wrote:Interesting. How essential do you feel the agitator is to the success you've found with your setup? How firmly would you recommend an agitator for a 100L jacketed setup?

I've since sourced out a 100L/26G low pressurized (5 psi) boiler with an agitator and a 3" 4-plate flute heated with a 5500w electric element. The price is right, the size is good, and I'm hoping that it will allow me to mash-ferment-distill to finish product in one go. No racking, no stripping/spirit runs. I'm not looking to do a neutral and will mostly be running bourbon and fruit mashes.
@vqstatesman and @dad300 are you doing one and done with your setups? Do you have issues stacking plates? Thoughts or concerns on my proposed setup?
