Throughout the course of your homebrewing career, you may find that you pass through several phases of brewing process, complexity, and equipment. Homebrewers generally begin with small 1-2 gallon batches brewed with malt extract in a stock pot on a kitchen stove. After a few brews, it is common to begin increasing batch sizes to 5 gallons, or to switch to all-grain brewing. As batch sizes and brewing process complexity increases, brewers need to purchase additional equipment. As that happens, it can become increasingly difficult to use a kitchen stove to achieve a boil. When that happens, brewers have a decision to make: choosing an electric<\/a> vs gas homebrewing system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Propane and electric<\/a> brewing systems each have their own pros and cons that should be considered when deciding which is the right system for you. Need some help deciding? Here is an overview of the pros and cons of both propane and electric<\/a> brewing systems!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
