agreed. tho I have to admit the "proper" part isn't as leakproof as I'd have anticipated or expected. Tho I have run the BM50L at capacity many times once I sorted the issue out and have had no problems since.
on an off note, has anyone tried brewing with adjuncts in the BM?
I ran a batch yesterday that was about 25% rice which was ground down to grits and gelatinized in a rice cooker...I did a long protein rest and had no problems at all with the flow thru the mash.
Post boil I had some funky hot break material...dark, filmy and gelatinous, not unlike seaweed and mucous. That was the only "exceptional" event I had with the brew session, other than a leaky seal (not related to the 3/4" to 1/2" bushing) that cost me about a liter of post-boil wort.
