It must be the wider base/surface area. I'm not sure but they sure leave less muck behind compared to a keg. :beerbang:
Ausdb, I thought ss scrubbies blocked up when used in conjunction with pellets? Do you know something I don't?
Warren I definately think its a geometry issue, as the whirlpool gets most of the crud to the middle and you can pickup from the edge. I am actually really happy with the pot, it is not very thick but I plan on getting a piece of ali sheet to fit underneath to act as a heat difffuser. At the moment it is not a problem as I have borrowed GL's old 4 ring burner as he is a nasa user now and the combination of large pot base and 4 ring works very well up to a 35 L boil. I think if I get a nasa or use my blowtorch again the diffuser will be necessary to stop scorching from the localised heat.
TidalPete I normally use a mix of pellets and plugs normally 1 plug as a minimum, I will brew this week as I have fermenter of 1968 slurry in need of fresh wort and will take some pics of the setup and what it looks like.
