@Bent-Brewer I've got 3 batches under my belt with this system on 120 and am getting between .5-.75g boil off, @5280 elevation, its not entirely a rolling boil but definitely more than a simmer. ramping times have not been a problem at all about 75 minutes for 7.1g to go from 68-160(using the...

London fog was alright, didn't blow my socks off or anything, still prefer 1318 or dryhop from imperial
