If they sent me one I'd love to review it. Know anyone there?! Lol

I do realize LODO is a thing. Personally the effort to achieve a real LODO process thrashes the fun out of being for me. I got nothing against it and I'm sure amazing beers really from the process. I'm just not interested in the journey down that rabbit hole.

I'll be doing a 5 gallon batch. If you watch the first look video it shows all the dimensions. Yes there is a lip you can see it in the video. Yes it is the same camera I use for live streams. The GFCI video has alternate links in the description. The vendor has more on order. 👍🍻

I got my hands on one of them here are my videos so far. First look and overview First look Here is my brew day video on the system Brew day

I wanted to do the first beer on it really pushing what I thought was the max grain bill on it. See the video here

I got my hands on the Blichmann Breweasy Compact 5 gallon batch system. I share my initial thoughts on it. Video Here

So far I've been happy with mine. The lid seal was problematic. (Over 10 psi) But they have redesigned it and are sending out updated seals for early models. I was able to ferment, carbonate, and can some beer right from the fermenter.

Haha no problem I've been a little absent here! 👍🍻

I cover that in my video and anvil just came out with a sturdy solution as well all covered in my video.

I've done a video on BrunDog's design. I did adapt it to all in one systems but the principals are all the same. Thanks to @BrunDog for the awesome idea on this!

I have been wanting to try this for quite a while now. I've read recommendations on brewbag with the boilcoil and everyone says to turn off the element and let the bag rest for the duration of the mash. I decided to not listen to that advice and do a full volume recirculation BIAB with the brew...

Yeah the extension cord is twist lock and the gfci pigtail is straight blade. It could be changed on the pigtail but that is a little work.

Yep your point is valid. The only downside to using a corny is you can't really dump any trub or harvest the yeast while the beer is still in the keg. Of course if that doesn't matter then who cares. Use your corny and brew on!! How much yield are you getting?

While I have not used it yet, I don't think it will be difficult at all. Not any more of a pain than having a butterfly valve on a racking arm for the sample. Blichmann makes a MFL quick connect that will screw right on.
