5 of 5 Don't Leave Home without it November 16, 2021
Reviewer: John Campbell from Las Cruces, NM  
Bobby has hit a home run with his eBIAB all in one system. My decision came down to the Brew Hardware system and two others. I chose the Brew Hardware system primarily because of the 3 way valve set up. My first brew fell short of the target OG by 6 points. After analyzing the situation I made some changes to my process.
1. I dialed in my equipment profile and found that the amount lost to trub/chiller was 1.25 gal
2. Did a volume check on the kettle markings and found that in the range I typically use that the markings were off by about a quart.
3. Double milled my grain
4. Stirred mash every 15 minutes
With these steps I brewed a second batch and nailed the volume to fermenter and OG.
Also the Brew Hardware steam slayer is simple to use and eliminates virtually 100% of the steam in the room.
My recommendation to anyone looking for an eBIAB system is buy this one. It's modular and has  been improved by Bobby over several years of use.

5 of 5 Best All-in-one Recirc Package October 21, 2021
Reviewer: Brent from Virginia  
I spent a long time deciding on which type of electric system to go with, but knew I wanted one that was more modular in nature rather than a Grainfather, Brewzilla, etc. I looked at Unibrau, Spike Solo, SS Brewtech 1v but am really happy I went with this system. The advantage of the bag vs a basket I think cannot be understated since it allows for a much finer crush and super clear wort. Also, every was super easy to put together and Bobby was great about talking me through the system. While I have experience with the Riptide pump from my prior set-up, I'm really pleased with the Topsflo pump which is really quiet and plenty powerful. I previously used a plate chiller, but with the built-in whirlpool , went back to a high efficiency immersion chiller and have been really happy that cooling wort doesn't take much longer than my prior set-up. Overall, great product, and wish I had purchased it sooner!

5 of 5 You will NOT be disappointed August 3, 2021
Reviewer: Juan from New Jersey  
I first started with a 120v robobrew. While I liked the robobrew I always felt like big grain bills got too “needy” on the system so I looked to upgrade. I considered a lot of different options including the spike solo, anvil, grainfather and brewzilla. After some research I decided that BIAB was the best way to go for my needs. Bobby and his crew helped me every step of the way as I worked to build the system and I could not be happier.

The crew at BH will customize this rig to your specs which makes it a standout compared to what’s out there on the market. I personally went with the 15 gallon version so I could continue making 5 gallon batches while retaining the option to go for 10 gallons when 8 want.  The heating element is insane too! I have to bring it down to 80% during my boils.  I also paired mine with the brew commander for easy-as-pie brew days.  This thing will leave you asking yourself why you didn’t go BIAB sooner. I mean it - you won’t regret it.
