yes have thought about it was only my first grain brew but to be honest not too bothered like i say jug and sieve puts good air in the wort but over time will prob look into it . with the kit i bought enough hops and grain for 4/5 brews so when i eventually need some more might look into buying...

i got the peco kit two weeks ago first brew observations reached 72 deg in 40 mins i tied the bag high enough up that even with the grain in it didnt touch the element so was ok to pop the element on for a min. i brew in the garage so used a beam and string to hoist the bag out is a tad heavy...
