In reading both the SS and MJ FB posts, they also appear to be testing a mash tun as part of a push for all grain spirit making which is a good thing for hobbyists wanting to go beyond essences.
I am still using my old SS super reflux boiler in combination with the original lid but fitted with a 2" ferrule. With this set up, a sugar wash will run fine. However, a whisky or rum wash will render it susceptible to puking because of the lack of head space. This can be mitigated by reducing the volume; but, the run becomes less efficient. (I am planning to remedy this by getting a 15 gallon Brewhaus boiler.)
This onion dome head appears to be designed to address this problem. I do see the potential for out-of-round. I would imagine it has been engineered with grooves and gasketing to snug back into round once clamped.
Cheers!
