I am wide open to suggestions. We don't want to miss a thing. I am spending his money too!!!!

One more thing: Brewha actually says the system should not be pressurized at all. If that is the case, how do you even hook up water to cool it?

I understand what you are saying. However I am not a professional brewer. I have been brewing for 25 years though. I cannot get over the fact that in their operational video on their website they do not use one, nor do they mention the need. Absent any other instructions that is what I followed.

My father wanted to build a bar in his walk-out basement. I said if we are going to do it we are going to do it right. A couple of necessities I have outlined: 1. 60-70 inch flat screen. 2. Through the back bar wall a six tap set up. 3. Seating for at least 5. 4. Able to see TV...

I understand the 3psi pressure ratings. But if there is manufacturing FOD in the jacket that does not allow water to exit and pressure to build up to the point of destroying the system is that a user error? He does not have a pressure regulator installed on the instructional video and does not...

No. And he says specifically not to restrict the outflow with a valve.

No manual or instructions. I relied on the video titled "How to brew all grain beer with the BREWHA BIAC" that was on their website. Maybe I should have been scouring the internet for blog posts.

Agreed. If you go to around the 25:30 minute mark in the instruction video he says the best thing to do is run your chilling media as quickly as possible. You do not need to control the flow or anything. You just get it going.

When your BIAC came, did it come with instructions that warned about deformation when chilling?

Just to be clear: This did NOT come with a pressure regulator to monitor water pressure going in or a pressure relief valve.

The only thing they offered me was for me to buy another fermenter at over $1,000. The customer was service for me seemed good until this. Now they are washing their hands and telling me to just eat it.

It wasn't sealed so to speak. The lid was resting on the fermenter just like in the video at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ojtYKokOD8 This did not come with a pressure regulator nor was any mention of needing one in the literature that came with the unit or in the video...

It does seal. That is one of the big selling points from a sanitation stand point.

For those interested, I posted a thread about my terrible experience with my BIAC and the response from the company. I too thought the customer service would be excellent. Boy was I wrong. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?p=6806518&posted=1#post6806518

I am disappointed to post my brand new $5,000 Brewha BIAC is completely ruined. I was excited about this system but I guess that old adage that if something sounds to good to be true it probably is, has played out. During the cooling stage the interior buckled rendering the system useless...

I fired up my medium BIAC last Thursday for the first time. It was my most pleasurable brewing experience. I cannot express how well designed and built it is. Right now I have 15.5 gallon of Pils fermenting at 48 degrees with the jacket hooked up to city water. I have it in a nice cool...

I pulled the trigger and will be getting my medium BIAC in a couple of weeks.
