Yeah mate, 50L for a start. Will see how it goes like that, I've got a feeling I'd like something a little bigger eventually.

The wait is a killer isn't it? Tool me a good 8 weeks to get fully set up even though I had the bubbler. But when you're set you can ramp up production and settle in, but yeah the anticipation sucks eh?

It does a little, but I only have a boiler courtesy of the generosity of other members so I don't mind the wait at all. But yeah, itching to see the first proper product from the big girl. It makes my T500 look very puny in comparison.

Not yet, I'll get one when I've got a boiler to stand it up on ;-)

It's pretty much assembled and laying on my spare bed at the moment :laughing-rolling:

There's something magical about the smell of a fresh ferment isn't there? Even if its just a TPW. Kicked off a 60L TPW yesterday, just got home from work now and my whole house smells like heaven. Best air freshener I ever bought :laughing-rolling:

Anybody who doubts the value of these bubblers, check this shit out.

The bubbler might be 3 times the price of the T500 but I couldn't believe the quality that comes with that extra coin. There's really no comparison. When I got the T500, I set it up, ran it and thought, yep, that's cool. I keep walking past the bubbler and staring at it. It really is built like the proverbial brick shithouse :handgestures-thumbupleft:
