Brewed up a coffee cream ale as my 2nd batch on the GF yesterday and I’m loving it! The first batch (a pale ale) turned out very nice! Ended up buying a bucket heater to heat up my sparge water in my old Rubbermaid mash tun. Was able to nicely control the flow with the ball valve. Looking...

Hello, I’m looking to add a nitro faucet to my keezer and looking for a tank and regulator. I’m located in the Milwaukee, wi area. Thanks!

Brewed up my first batch on the GF yesterday! No problems with the pump, but still a bit noisy when the output flow is restricted. Not a constant sound; almost a clicking-like sound. The other thing I noticed is that a couple of times when the heat was on and the pump was going, I heard a...

Thanks bigtex, I appreciate the feedback. I'm hoping to brew up something tomorrow on it, so I'm going to run some more water through it tonight to see how things go. Should the pump be making any additional/different noise when the output is restricted via the ball valve? I haven't used any...

I appreciate the input, bigtex52, and I think this is going to help push me in the direction of the GF! Just got an email from Northern Brewer, and they started a 20% off sale today. Looks like I might be joining the club sooner rather than later..

murphyslaw, I'm about in the same boat as you. I've been going back and forth on upgrading my current 3 tier system to electric or just bite the bullet and go with the Grainfather. It sounds hard to pass on that $600 deal, but the warranty would also concern me. I've seen some decent deals on...

Obviously CollinH is first in line here, but if either of these are still available, I'm also looking for a two tap tower.
