While I am still brewing on the same system in the video 2 years later (and had 2 years prior as well), I have also brewed on the same kettle with the Spike Solo basket installed (2 brews) as well as a fully mesh basket similar to the Utah Biodiesel/Brewboss (2 brews). I also tried 2 vessel K-RIMS like the BrewEasy (but using the Spike kettle and false bottom), and finally the Spike TRIO 3-vessel HERMS. I allot for the possibility that just about any system can carve a habit groove and anything different immediately feels wrong. Maybe. I just know that I instinctively go back to my bag system when I just want to crank out consistent beers in 4 hours. I don't know how much weight this carries, but I have a pretty wide open brewing space and the ability to buy any of this gear at wholesale prices and it's all a write off. I have no budget constraints in that regard and yet I still pick the single vessel bag system because it hasn't been a compromise in any aspect of my brewing goals.
