I've been brewing for about 8 years. Been doing gas stove top brewing the entire time and having excellent results. Just bought my first house, and my new kitchen won't have a gas stove (and I refuse to do brewing on an electric stove!). Though I want to convert my kitchen to gas eventually, that won't happen for a few years.
So, I've got two real options: I could buy a propane tank and maintain my same setup but shift the enterprise from the kitchen to the garage (which will be great except in winter – #RhodeIsland), or I buy an electric brew system.
I've been leaning towards buying a Grainfather: I've read how awesome it is for rookie brewers. How does it stack up for experienced brewers? Is this what you've always wanted? Does it improve your brew? Brewday?
Would love some real suggestions before I dump $1k on this!
