I don’t think there’s a lot of user feedback available for the new version yet, but there is some that’s been discussed recently in this thread:

Unibrau V3

What about just the Unibrau units in general? How are they compared to the Grainfather? How has the longevity been?

How has the longevity been?

I bought version 1.0 of the Unibrau a few years ago. Sold it to a co-worker and it's still going. The only thing that crapped out on me was the little pump it came with. Totally different pump being used now.

Edit: Forgot this was my thread Looks like it's coming up on three years ago that I bought version 1.0.

Great! How is the boil with 1600 watts? Is it necessary to get the upgrade kit?

I am still using the Minibrau described early in this thread. I had two little pumps. One crapped out. I use a Chugger now. Boil is not strong, but you don't need a strong boil. I add a Hot Rod when I get impatient.

On my current rig I boil 12 gallons with 1500 watts as measured by my panel mounted meters. Would I try to ramp from mash out to boiling at that volume with only 1500 watts? No. But once you get there it doesn't take much to keep it boiling.

Don't be concerned with boil vigor. Instead focus on % boil off. Shoot for 6-8%.

Hey guys , I have a question about EZboil mash settings,I have Unibrau v.2.There two settings to remove overshoot in a strike water and during the mash.In my understanding if in a kettle temp. is 70 C. and on the EZboil monitor 67 C. you have to set oScr settings on -3, right?And during the mash if in your kettle the temperature is 67,and your desire mashing temperature is 65C, but EZboil monitor is 65C you have to set the AttE settings to -3 to match it.
Can you help me to understand it please.
Thank you for your time.
