The freeze drier has finally arrived after many delays.
It’s unpacked and done it’s required “resting”.
Ran the required tests with faster than expected results. So far so good.
Test batch of bread is in now. They say it tests the unit and gets the “new car smell” out. Now to decide what the first official batch will be. So much waiting in the freezer ready to go.
So far this thing is far quieter than expected. We went with the premier pump. The “oil less pump” is deceptive. Far more expensive and “maintenance free” is only for the owner. It must be sent back (shipping paid at owners expense) for a service when needed. The premier pump only has to be changed every 20-30 batches depending on the look of the oil. So far they are right about it being fairly quiet. Maybe in a house situation it might be considered loud but nothing like I was expecting so far. This pump is supposed to be the quietest of the options.
Will post updates as we go.
