Hi jean-yves,
You guys brewing today makes me wish I was better prepared and brewing myself today; stuck with DIY unfortunately :(

I notice on your second photo a copper tube around the top of the container. Is that a sparging ring? If so, did you put it together yourself? Looks like a good idea to me.
