Jim's Beer Kit

Don’t see them selling too many at that price, the Gf is well established and a quality bit of kit with a cf chiller, and new Bluetooth controller.

The ace micro brewer etc is the price point bulldog should be aiming at as these are its main competition. The GF is at a different level.

The Malt Miller informed me that they will be stocking the keg king counterflow chiller later this year. I have a plate chiller but am considering a counterflow I'll definately be having a look at that then... Any idea on pricing from Rob? No, didn’t get a price but they are selling in the US for 7...

Had a look there, looks to be a good system, the controller looks good once you get the hang of it. If it had an adjustable overflow pipe it would be a gf killer. I have seen the v1 and this looks far better.

Wonder would the hop spider sit inside the wort chiller

Great vids, cheers

Interested in seeing your review, any pics yet?

Some alternatives
Craftbeerpi can do all that for free
Brewmaniac is another
Smartpid for a built system
Open Ardbir

If you are able to step mash try a mash out at 75 for 10 minutes , then sparge at 75 to. 80 degrees, this is my normal routine. Wouldn’t worry about it too much, grain is cheap, time isn’t

Hi Ben

The obvious things to look at are grain crush size and doing a sparge.

I built a very similar system and get 75% efficiency with a sparge or 70% full batch. I recently started to crush my own grain, so I am playing around with crush size at the moment

Nice build, well done

If you are not looking to harvest yeast, transfer under pressure etc then a conical makes sense, if not go for a flat bottomed stainless fermenter, as others have said it's for life, easy to clean etc

Polsinelli have great fermenters

The new robobrew pump system looks like a good option as well , it has a lot of features that the grainfather has. I think the malt miller are agents for keg kingdom

Excellent build

A good read
