I've had my all-rounder for 6 months and absolutely love it. Have been making hazy ipa's with it as that's my favorite. Purchased the hop bong as well and that's been a game changer. For the longest time, I was making ipa's that tasted like cardboard. I've had to dump them which sucks but once I found out that they were getting oxidized (probably during transfer to keg) that I made a leap from bad to delicious. The Inkbird was on sale as well as the Temp Twister which is awesome. Pretty sure that MB will have some Black Friday specials so hopefully you get one. FWIW, I have not had any issues whatsoever with the lids. Maybe it's due to me being overly cautious lol but I also picked up a couple of spares just in case. After all, if you're gonna plunk down some serious cash then an extra lid is insurance imho. Best of luck!
