Unibrau mini

[TexasWine]

I'm an all grain brewer who's looking to simplify my day and brew indoors with eBIAB. The Unibrau Mini looks perfect for my current needs. What's holding me back right now is the fear of scorching the beer with the electric element. The threads I've read regarding this are mostly wheat and rye beers. About half of the beer I brew have wheat and my favorites have flaked oats; so I'm a little hesitant. Has anyone with a Unibrau BIAB system had scorching issues?

Thanks!

No issues here, but I don't really use wheat and rye. If you're concerned about it, I'd just leave the pump circulating while heating up to boiling. That should give sufficient agitation to prevent anything settling on the elements and scorching.

That makes sense. I just went through a 20 page thread you started of April 2015 and not one mention of scorching. A few people with (possible) pump cavitation issues but it didn't seem to hurt the beer at all. I'm actually looking at the 5 gallon 120v system now. All my fermenters and kegs are set up for 5 gallon batches anyway and I'd like the ability to brew bigger beers:rockin:
