Electric brewing is the greener, cleaner way to brew! If you're just getting started with beer making, or have been brewing for years and want to improve your process, we are here to help.

Brewing requires a lot of energy to heat up and boil a large amount of water. We are proud to offer the HC-3800 Electronic Brewing Controller, which makes electric home brewing fun. Ask someone who has converted from propane to electric, they will never switch back.

Standard water heater elements are used instead of a flame to provide energy for your brewing process. We can help you convert your kettle to run on electricity if you wish. Now you can brew indoors or in your garage if you wish, and the weather will never get you down! Save money by spending about $1.20 on energy for an 5-gallon batch, or about $2.00 for a 10-gallon batch!

Heating elements by themselves produce a fixed amount of power. That's where the HC-3800 comes in. We provide you with better heat control than you could ever achieve with a flame.

The HC-3800 does all of these things for you:

  • Monitors power to prevent boilovers or scorching of the heavy first wort
  • Automatically senses problems with your heating element or electrical connections
  • Gives you the same level of control as a propane burner with less energy loss
  • Evaluated by a third party laboratory for regulatory compliance
  • Designed professionally by skilled engineers with safety as top priority

You can even plug it in to a computer! If you do, then you can also:

  • Enter the quantity and temperature of water, and automatically calculate energy required to hit your strike/sparge temperature
  • View boiloff rate accurately as conditions change
  • Track energy use with each batch so you know what you are spending on electricity
  • Monitor temperature throughout the brewing processes with the optional thermocouple
  • Record time accurately for heating and boiling phases
  • Watch your 3 most important parameters from a distance

If there's a question you have about electric brewing, please call or write to us! We will be happy to answer questions.

No more guessing!

You may have already found the boil-off rate of your propane burner after several batches of beer. But wind and other factors make it difficult to get the same rate with every batch. A gas burner may provide a variable flame, the HC-3800 will tell you exactly what your boil-off rate is, and give you full control over it.

No more waiting!

No one likes to stand outside a big-box store with an empty propane tank waiting for the employee to finish his lunch and do the exchange. The HC-3800 uses electricity instead of flame to do the heating work. By keeping track of exactly how much energy is used with each batch, you know what you are spending on energy when you make your beer.

No more frustration!

Most home brewers are do-it-yourself types who pay very close attention to detail in their brewing process. The HC-3800 gives the brewer more control over the process by precisely setting the temperature of strike water and boil-off rate of the wort. Your next batch will turn out exactly like this one.
