I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a 20bbl system and am debating adding the the option of the internal calandria. I understand the general benefits of greater evaporation in the boil kettle and possibly getting to a boil quicker. For those of you that do have a calandria, are you glad you have it? Do you feel that it improves your process, saves you meaningful time in a brew day, or any other benefits or downsides that I should be aware of?
Does anybody not have it and wish they did?
I'm looking for perspective to help me determine if it is worth the extra $$ to have it installed now by the manufacturer. Oh, I do realize that if I get the calandria installed, that means that I will need to get the 3rd whirlpool vessel now (which we would eventually get once we reach the point where we will start double batching).
Thanks!
