I have an Anvil Foundry electric system. I've brewed 4 batches so far. On the last batch the lid seal fell out when the the kettle was heating up to a boil. I leave the lid half on during the boil since at 110 I don't get a rolling boil. The steam and/or heat must have expanded the silicone...
thanks again everyone for the replies and input. The base wage at this second brewery is less than half of the brewery I currently work at, so in the end I'll stay where I'm at.
Thanks for the reply! This does help put some things in perspective, both money wise and pointing out that this is a part-time replaceable position. I do think the current job will understand as they just had another employee leave because having no days off ended up being an issue.

I do have a resume as I've been in IT for 30...
