Anyone who's set up a completely electrical home system in the 1/2 to 1 barrel range.  I'm boiling in my basement now and not that happy about using propane down there.  Not sure where to look for inspiration on an electrical process.

I would love to get some advice from Todd Haug of Surly Brewing on applying single-infusion mash programs across a wide range of styles.

Why Todd?  I'm not contesting it, but I don't know him and wonder why he'd be good for the topic.
