Awesome build! Do you have any splashing as the wort overflows the mash pipe? I love the set up and the ease of use, I am just wondering if you have ever had issues with aerating the hot wort?

My plan was just to make it and shake it, I have done it that way before. Using a stir plate is far superior, I never had fermentation last this long before I started using the stir plates. I will be buying extra stir bars I actually make two because we make 10 gallons and split it in 2...
