A friend of mine has a Clawhammer system that I’ve used a few times. His is a modular setup and honestly, the Vevor is more simple to use. When I first got the system, I ran a batch of just water with the intention of checking and calibrating the controller. It’s very easy to use with only a quick look at the instruction book and all the temps were dead on out of the box. The Clawhammer controller needed several hours of testing and calibrating. The one big advantage the Clawhammer has is a full mesh grain basket. The Vevor has a steel basket with a perforated bottom, which makes getting your efficiency a little more work.

Yeah, I milled it myself and maybe got a little carried away

I’ve heard that helps and I was planning on trying it but I completely forgot.

I won’t have a chance to brew until next weekend. But I have filled it with water to test the seals and it seems to hold just fine. My only issue so far is the gasket on the main lid. There’s nothing holding it in place, so getting it to seat correctly is a pain in the ass.

Finding a juice that doesn’t have preservatives sounds like quite a challenge

I didn’t know either. I was looking for an electric setup with a large brew kettle and this was the cheapest option. I still had to spend a few hundred dollars for stuff that didn’t come with the kit.

Give us some details please. What was your method?
