I've had a great time brewing with all of my blichmann gear minus my auto sparge. Looking forward to hearing more reviews about this and seeing what the official MSRP comes out to be.

I'm surprised your BK didn't sink right to the bottom. Bumping an old thread as I'm looking to brew with snow soon. Anyone do this yet? I'd like to hear about it!

Great sticky! Thanks for the writeup, very helpful!
