As a prior contributor to this thread I might as well provide an update....about 4 weeks ago I took delivery of a Grainfather G40. Brewed once on it so far and as it stands, I am quite impressed by the system. my initial thoughts can be found here... https://angliancraftbrewers.org.uk/2022/01/nicks...

Personally i think the Brewtools equipment is grossly overpriced plus they use their own size (34mm) tri-clamp fittings instead of the industry standard 1.5" why ? :!: so you cannot even use the standard 1.5" ones. So for example you buy a B80 for 2 grand and then have to spend another grand on the...

I'm amazed they still haven't fixed this. It's been a known issue since it came out (or at least since they introduced the silicone seal in the second version). I'd have thought that in this new G30 version they'd have done something about it. Used to brew with a grainfather which was brilliant. I r...

Honestly have no interest in your critique of this project.

It’s always within a degree or so and while the temperature gauge is a little imprecise, you can soon figure it out and I usually always get the temperature I’m after. I probabl...

Started off with a 3 pot system, and then built a 3 pot mini system (it’d make about 10L of wort at a time) which I used all the time. It was brilliant and super easy to use/clean. Then eventually I got a Grainfather and made some of my best beers with that. Used it for about 5 or 6 years before sto...

Hi all,

Upgrading my sparge vessel for my new system. I’m trying to find what is nicknamed the little brown pump. Struggling to find one at the moment. Wondered if anyone has any links to such a thing?

Thanks!

How did it turn out?
