Anyways I decided to go with 2 of the Chronicals BME 1/2bbl. Just waiting for black Friday to see if they offer some discounts. Augiedoggy, do you recommend any particular stone for oxygenating the wort.

Have been looking more in-depth at the grainfather conical fermenter and for $100 more I can get twice the fermentation space on an ad chronical

In Mexico City, it's really expensive to be some malts here so I'm guessing they are trying to open up a market.

Really tempted to give them a try.

Hey guys, Have any of you had any experience with Paul's Malt Keep Flying Maris Otter. A local brewer recommended it to me but I've never heard of them. Their website looks allright. From what he told me, they are an independent craft malting house in the UK, but I much rather ask here...

I can see myself producing at 3bbl capacity within the next year or so. In Mexico it's easy to open a nano or micro brewery. Plus they craft brewery scene is growing exponentially. Like in the US back when it started. So in Mexico there are not many laws regulating the craft brew industry...

Keezer sounds nice, but limits my mobility. Though having one at home would be great. Its hard to move the keezer to take the beer to friends events, etc. Cheers, Zlaker

I like the SS Unitank but it is over $150 more than the grainfather conical fermenter. If I add heating and chilling, then we are talking well over $300. Plus the Unitank seems more manual, on the other hand the Grainfather conical fermenter automatically controls the cooling and heating...

For 4 Gallons of space, stainless steel, conical bttom and racking arm, it looks good. If you do go for it, please let me know how it turns out. Looks like something I might get to test out some small recipes. Cheers, Zlaker

Hey Guys, I’m about to do a massive equipment purchase and wanted to get your feedback on some items. I currently have 2 Grainfathers and 1 old Corona Mill, rest is as usual, carboys and bottling bucket. I want better control over milling, fermentation and forcing carbonation instead...

Thanks but in Mexico is easier to go pro than in the states, most of my brewing will be Comercial and I much rather spend well once than to have to make another purchase in a couple of months or within a year.

Well I'm considering buying a mill as I'm using a Corona mill cranked by hand and I would like something that would last me some time. Money being not an object I'm looking for something good that has high quality and that has been tried and tested. I believe the MM3 Pro with heat treated...

Thanks for the comments. Ended up purchasing the grainfather yesterday.
