All of this ^^ is totally true, BUT
Consider how many brew commanders are out there failing tho and which one you'd rather use irl. Also remember that blichmann has been around since day one in homebrewing and will likely support their product.
I've only brewed one batch on my solo, but checked the temperature of the grain bed a few times during the mash and it was consistently 2⁰ lower than the probe read
This a thousand times over!
And also, if you have the income, don't let this forum or other groups bully you into not buying brewing stuff just because you want it.
Post a pic of this chiller, please.
When I used a SS IC it was super easy to clean or separate coils.
I'd just shake it in the sink while spraying and that got 99% of stuff off
With a lot of these to tests I assume even one layperson would be able to reliably identify the difference. That's how severe a lot of the dogma is in homebrewing.
I'm not gonna go through all the brulosophy tests, but the stuff I read about fermenting a lager at 60⁰ when i started brewing...
I like brulosophy for even attempting the experiments in the first place.
I mean someone out there had the audacity to figure out that secondary transfers are basically worthless by trying it out (an experiment)
I read all of the brulosophy stuff, but do not listen to it as established science...
I found the manual, but got caught up with easter stuff yesterday and another family related road trip today (at a rest stop as I type)
I'll get it to it soon.
