This is amazing! My only complaint is didn’t get the fermenter shown in the picture. Otherwise everything else is amazing, couple extra seals, everything goes together easily! The book is a little iffy, but you can figure it out. Looking forward to making more stuff with it! Just to be on the safe side I ran a pot of just water and just ran a quart out of it. Just to make sure it was sterile before I did anything else. But you can do whatever you want.
