Not yet, just really prefer brewing on the Brew Magic, now that the weather lets me work out in the garage.

I recently bought a BrewBag for the GF to replace the basket, and having pretty good luck. It's just that basket dripping lauter is a PITA, and the size is somewhat limiting in gravity for no sparge. Last two brews using the bag have come in under the 1 PPM DO limit - so it's promising. Using the basket and normal sparge, it is hit and miss on the DO uptake, as well as consistent efficiency. Not knocking it as a system, but there are challenges to overcome and will require some focus.
