Hello all,

I'm just getting in to the brewing scene and was hoping to get some advice on which type of boiler to purchase - electric or gas powered.

I have been looking at the following electric boiler: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390855125285?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

At a first glance seems quite a bargain. What are feelings towards this type of boiler and has anyone used this exact model? What are the benefits of using a gas burner and separate tub?

Any help and suggestions greatly appreciated.
 
Hello Yeasty beast.
I personally think electric is better. more accurate temperature control. However when you're banished to the shed or bottom of the garden, gas may be a better option.
