Hey all! I'm looking at getting the 35L version. Moving into a smaller place, so I'm getting rid of my propane burner set up. Excited to save space!
Anyway, a few questions after reading through this thread.
- Has anyone come up with a solution for the false bottom and clogged pump? I saw suggestions about cutting a silicone tube and putting it around it, to fill that gap. Anyone do this, or something else? I like to throw my hops right in the boil. I would also grab the whirlpool attachment with my order.
- Has anyone used one of these inside the house, like in the kitchen? I've never brewed indoors, so I don't know what kind of steam/condensation this would create. I would likely brew in the garage with the door open, but on really cold days it would be awesome to brew inside.
- Is anyone having issues with the stamped measurements? I saw somewhere that they may be off, due to a manufacturing issue. Though I'm sure that's all fixed now, just curious if it's still potentially an issue.
- Anyone get boil overs on a bigger beer? I don't generally make big beers, but once in a while I'd like to make an imp stout or similar. I could always go for a 3-4 gal batch if needed, but wondering if anyone has had issues with a boil over on this system, and what happened. Was clean up a PITA? Did it ruin the controller or any switches?
Thanks for any answers! I almost bought the system, just out of pure excitement, but I need to make sure this is the right set up for me.
