Hazy IPA please :-)

Yeah I was going to go for the 4500W as I didn't think I'd ever even require that but have noticed most have just gone straight for the 5500 but I guess it gives you that luxury of faster times and then massive scalability if very large batches are on the agenda. Another question sorry, are you...

How are you finding the Dornord element? I've currently got a 4.5kw ripple element sitting in my basket on Aliexpress and looking for more reviews to convince me to purchase. :) I also have the same 56ltr pot you have and been using Q-max punches to make the holes, I have another 50ltr that I'd...
