Excellent add to my basement brewery. The first time I used it, I struggled to boil off water from my wort. The trick was to turn the heat up to 217F, which would generally run the boil at 214F for me. That gave the steam enough energy to get past the metal lid (where is had just been condensing and falling back into the wort at 212F boil) and into the steam pipe. Works great now.

One other thing to think about / product feedback: you drop your hops and other additions through the tri clamp opening on the top of the vertical stack (over the center of your pot) I just leave the clamp off of it as, for me, the stainless steel cover that comes with the system is heavy enough that the steam doesn't lift it and I can use a glove to take it on and off as needed. Some kind of flap here would be better if they would make it. Anyway, the first time I used the system, one of my hop pellets dropped into the steam outlet and ended up traveling down and clogging my outflow and the system stopped working. I am more careful now when adding hops, whirlfloc, etc, but I have also purchased a silicone gasket with a strainer screen for the horizontal joint to prevent solids from making it into the steam tunnel. This is the bit I think they should include with future versions.

Overall, great add to my brewery.
