Hi All,
I know most have their opinions on which is better for their brewery, Gas or Electric heating, but I am curious if anyone has any solid research about which one is cheaper, especially cost vs time.
My feeling is that electricity is cheaper and quieter , but would take longer to get a batch to the boil.
Whilst gas is faster, noisier, but produces more mj's or BTU's of energy / heat.
I have the chance to upgrade my BIAB setup, and I can't decide between a 4 ring burner, or a 2000-2400w over the side immersion heater.
I can handle slightly longer boil times if electric can handle boiling 30 litres in a reasonable time, simply for the convenience of power points, and never having to worry about gas bottles etc etc.
Opinions aside, anyone got a verdict?
Cheers Josh
