Things I learned: You need to be wearing some heat proof gloves for sure. We are about to start building a new home for the brewery and other things and this solves not having to do a vent hood for sure. I have an outbuilding that I brew in now and the amount of steam in the room was no existent which is a huge improvement from normal. Water use was probably more than what was stated but hard to say as again this was my first time and might have boiled for more than an hour. I had about 1 gallon loss over an hour which was considerably less than with the lid off, and some of that was boil over too. (Normally I run it somewhere between 75-80% once it is boiling. (16 gal of wort in 20 gallon pot) I ended up with the element at 45% and that seemed to hold the temp right at boiling.
I waited for hot break to put it on but still had it coming out of the 4 inch port. There is a learning curve at getting the output percentage right on the element so that you don’t get a boil over. I got mine this week and had time to brew yesterday with it.
