have you done a side by side? Is it close? I don't have any caravienne, maybe crystal 20?

5 / 10 gallon? How did this turn out? A friend wants to know ;)

Wood is nice as it doesn't scratch the inside of your kettle ..... not sure if that matters to anyone else ;). Also agree with OleBrewing as the mash will be boiled anyway so nothing really to be concerned about.

Yes it does seem pretty $$, very cool though lol. I would assume though that one could throw a spunding valve on it and bypass the need for temperature control? Now that I'm thinking about it, you could do that with any pressure capable vesel..... but it woudln't have a conical bottom ;) ...
