If you're going buy a Brewzilla all-in-one then you don't need a big Digiboil kettle just to heat a few litres of sparge water to pour over your grain basket. A 10 litre stainless stock pot from Amazon will do the job just as well.
If you want a good fermenter then the Fermzilla gets a good rep and you can do pressure fermenting in it if that's your thing. I don't like plastic and anyway the Fermzilla is too big for my fridge so I use a flat bottom stainless FV from Brewbuilder. It doesn't ever get stained and is 100% airtight. Definitely one of my best buys.

I picked up a Klarstein 40 cup tea urn on hifi Tower for just over 30 quid it's got a temperature adjustment which is great for sparge water. It was a B grade which I was a bit sceptical about but it was in new condition note inside saying it had been taken out the box for quality check and that was all
What's your beer like at present.If it's not broken why fix it...Sorry to bring up an old thread but what did you decide in the end? I've currently got a 50L 3 vessel gas burner system, Coleman Xtreme 72qt converted mash tun, homemade counterflow chiller etc but had a chance to pickup an almost new 70L BrewDevil with all the extras for 450 and was very tempted... I would obviously sell all my other kit which would go half way to paying for it tbh.... But I'm just torn
I would say not many, the second hand price of three vessel systems has dropped considerably. The choices are out there for SVB's from 40 litre to 70 litre.I've never used 3 vessel started with all in one. The advantages could only be in time spent brewing and probably time spent cleaning and storage room. I must say though they are easy to use and the end result is fine. I wonder how many go from all in 1 to 3 vessel system that would be interesting to find out.
I am sure that a few years ago a home brewer died, or almost died from carbon monoxide poisoning with a gas burner in the garage.Oh certainly, it’s what I hinted at in my op - largely opinion.
I mean forme, I’ll be brewing in my garage, it’s insulated etc and pretty comfy but I don’t really want a gas burner or anything like that. I could probably put a roof extractor in if I needed too but my main concern is getting an all in one and regretting it - but then I guess the same is true if I went 3v and regretted it!
I like the idea of 3v,but it’s also a scary start
