Does anyone here own a Blichmann Hop Rocket? If so, what do you think of it?

I ordered a Hop Rocket from Jerry in Dubuque (Bluff Street Brew Haus). I'll bring it with to the next meeting. Apparently it can double as either a hop back or a Randal.

Also, in case you were not aware, Jerry has a ton of stuff in his store that is not on his website. I ordered the Hop Rocket, centennial & cascade leaf hops, and green coffee beans. Most of his prices are competitive and he ships to CR for $7.99. The downside, of course, is that you pretty much have to e-mail him (jerry@bluffbrewhaus.com) to see if he has something in stock.

You may want to check the brewing network forums, I remember there being a discussion on there about it being better to do a small modification to the unit and run the flow in reverse, so it filters trub (I think), didn't pay much attention at the time since I had no desire to get a one at that time.
