I've got 2 brews in on the system. There are way to game the system to cut down on time. The biggest is hitting the boil switch when bringing the mash temp up and then a bit before target, switch it to the mash. With the boil, hit that boil switch while sparging and get the lid on. I haven't done it yet, but there is some cheap insulation that you can buy to wrap the unit in that will help speed up the process. That's my an upgrade that I just haven't been able to get to yet. (the other thing I wouldn't mind doing is installing a site glass).
Apart from that, it's a "set it and forget it" system. You can "relax" a bit more and trust that it's doing its thing.
Is this the jacket available to fit the system?
