Using the HC-3800, you can brew using electricity instead of propane. For most residences in the United States, electricity is actually a cheaper option. Your HC-3800 can plug into the USB port of your computer for maximum control, but it also functions perfectly on its own. You provide a 3800-Watt heating element that plugs into your HC-3800. Your HC-3800 will do the following for you:

  • Heat up your strike water. If you are using a computer, just enter the amount of water in your hot liquor tank. Then, enter your target strike temperature. Using an optional thermocouple (temperature sensor) the HC-3800 can most accurately hit your target temperature. No energy will be wasted!
  • Boil your wort. Your boiloff rate is precisely calculated, so you can hit your target gravity every time. Every batch will turn out the same!
  • Display your energy consumption. Your HC-3800 keeps track of how much energy is used for each batch. You will know precisely what your energy costs are, and you can learn how to make your beer more efficiently than ever!
