So after being a long time supporter of SS brew tech gear I have found something that not only disappoints but completely pisses me off. Firstly the components are neatly packaged. That is where the positives stop. After unboxing and screwing the hopper to the mill I rummage through the box to find mounting hardware to mount to a table....... nowhere. Then I set the mill on the table and plug in the massive power supply..... no light on the switch. I then press the power the button and nothing. Being an electrician I open the power supply and man what a mess. The solders look like complete crap (pictures posted) so I check the input for 120VAC and it’s there but no 24VDC. I then begin to try and troubleshoot down to the faulted component and after getting pissed off that I am having to do this in the first place I remember that my RC car charger is a set of 1000W server power supplies that I put together to charge big 12S batteries I cut the connector off the brew tech power supply and splice to my 24VDC power supply. The mill does work but man for $800 you would think it would work out of box and come with 4 measly 1/4 20 fasteners to mount it. And this is petty but what happened to the days of buying expensive specialty products and them coming with swag. Hats, stickers.... anything. I will write them and I’m sure they will make it right but very disappointed and pissed off. Next time I’ll buy the motorized monster kit with hardened rollers.
