so the anvil 6.5 is the only system i'm aware of that's specifically meant for half batches. is there another?
if not then i need some advice deciding on what to do here. unfortunately anvil is out of stock on the 6.5, and havent been able to get any word on when it will be available again. so, i'm not opposed to using another system i.e. brewzilla, robobrew, etc. (but i do like the fact that anvil can go 120 or 240v, which is great for me) and it seems like you have to buy some extra parts /adapters, which isnt that big of a deal to me.
so i assume problems are mainly- 1- the chiller wont sit all the way on the bottom, so need to bend it or extend it. 2- my kettle losses will be fairly steep given i've cut the batch in half but the vessel is the same size, and 3- have to be pretty careful about scorching and/or boiling off too much with the smaller volume.
but again, i assume those to be the same for all competing systems, so given that -- is there a unit that does well for half batches?
