No actually. I have never to this day had a problem with my pilots. So sure, I can deny that. On a real windy day, maybe (and of course) they will blow out, (who cares) but you actually gotta go to an outside phun-brew-in to be one my friend and I go to many brew-outs... You won't be bringing your rig anywhere...
So it seems that a statement or two has presumed that you will push a plastic led button, do a bit of laundry and out pops a brand new AHA Gold medal award winning beer from this end-all-be-all system, that you otherwise could not accomplish. Yea, though I have a few Golds myself, there are PLENTY of fellas out there kicking my arse at comps all day using two plastic brewing buckets.
Just wanted to make sure that you know you will be making consistently bad beers as well as consistently good beers just as we all do on any system. And I want the noobs whom this thread seems to be geared for to know that as well. Personally, I like to see everyone start out with two plastic buckets but thats me...
Yeah, it's less portable than a propane rig. That made it on my list of minuses. I did get the GFCI on an extension cord, so I could take it to anyone's garage who has a dryer in it, if you want to count that.
None of my statements have said that the brewmation will brew better beer than a cooler. I tried hard to make that evident in the review and I guess I didn't do a good enough job. My apologies. I am well aware of that fact.
I do think, though, that I have a great many variables of the brewing process that I've paid someone else to work out for me and that to me is a very good value- especially for crazy newbs who want to go ballz to the wall like me- but into the brewing and recipes and not gear tinkering. If brewing is half consistent process/half art, then I think I've got a head start with one quarter of the equation, more so than buckets. I'd rather be fermenting 15 gallons at a time in my climate controlled conical. Maybe it's because I had some real production experience, but I never would have gotten into the 'see if I like brewing first and only spending $120' phase. Just my personality, I guess.
If there's one thing that I'm guilty of, it's enthusiasm.:fro:
