    Mould or something?

    wasn't that just a Yeast raft ?

    Secondary fermenter and dry hopping

    There are 2 reasons why you should transfer to secondary: 1. Yeast autolysis that produces off-flavours 2. Harvesting yeast for another brew.

    Large dry hop addition - is a secondary necessary?

    If you don't transfer to secondary fermentor you are risking yeast autolysis which produce off-flavours. When you transfer from primary to secondary right after FG is reached you can then harvest your yeast for another brew.

    I have a sparge arm through the hole of the lid. This way temperature is more stable.

    I used bazooka screen few times and it gets clogged up. It can be frustrating during wort transfer. Now I use brew bag during hop addition. It's big enough for a proper hop isomerisation.

    I have tried this Malt conditioning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYnbvPu4m78, seems to be doing a job. Never had a stuck sparge yet.

    Yeah I had that happening on day one. I had pump connected to the same power board as Robobrew and as soon as I switched the pump off the display went blank. Then I moved pump to a different power socket and the problem disappeared.
