yah it does sound awesome. their fermentation options look way cheaper until you calculate in the tc100 package, etc. FWIW, their nano setup with double batch capability is the same price as the 1bbl SS setup.
We just ran some more numbers and are probably going to go with a 2 or 3 bbl setup...
I'm in the process of designing a 1 bbl electric brewhouse setup and wanted folks' opinions on different brands and results and pricing.

Thanks for the feedback. I've got some research to do.
I was looking up kveik earlier - I'm not in a position to make slurries and starters yet, but I did see Omega offered a few options that look pitch- ready.
