Hahah and the same people complaining about the 'garbage weld' and 'trash manufacturer' are out there brewing in the aluminum kettle they've had for 30 years and plastic buckets. Stainless envy.
I'm confused as well. You're saying these offer the same amount of heat output as the Blichmann but cost 3 times more. And why would you buy this over the Blichmann?? lol
Isn't the only point of insulated Ss mash tun to hold temps throughout the mash? If that's not the case I would contact them and ask for a return. that thing ain't cheap!
I'm just going to say lol because I'm done telling you what others that do this for a living told me and have you Google a random link to try and prove 'me' wrong.
I can't comment on the system getting down to 32F as I've never tried. I've had my conical in a cold garage and inside my warm house; I've never had an issue. I'm going off of what multiple professional brewers have told me they cold crash at. You're try to crash below what is recommended which...
Why are you trying to crash to 32F? All the commercial brewers I've talked to have said 35-38F. I do mostly 5g batches in my CF10 and have had 0 issues crashing to 38F.
