    I have a spare Reflectix jacket with a glued on Velcro strip...it worked fine and I've enough material for another - all free from a friend. When the Graincoat showed up for $60 CDN, there was no question about it going on my machine.

    Opinions on buying kits with work allready made in bag

    Although I now brew custom extracts and all grain, I still used prepared wort. Festa Brew creates a number of brews I've had great success with. Their seasonal Czech Pils and Marzen lagers are exceptional, especially when lagered. I've got a couple on now where I've changed out the yeast from...

    Spoke to this before...I made a Reflectix one and it was fine. I did however but a GF jacket when it became available. Why put an old ragged coat on a classy chassis? Wear the tuxedo for a few extra bucks. It will help protect it as well.

    I've watched a few YouTube videos on the new controller...it appears to work well...I'm thinking I'm in...buddy from Italy - Arzaman - is working on a new controller that will allow more options - the GF controller is not in NA yet...scheduled for a Jan. Feb rollout for US and then...

    I've used them without any issues both cooking extract and in my Grainfather. I have two small 3" ones and a larger 4" one...I rarely use them as now I have my GF MJ hop basket...

    The GF peeps have already dealt with this as the Robobrew has been out and concurrent to the GF...I like to tinker a bit but when it comes to serious sh!t like brewing and beer I don't **** around...turnkey and proven works best for me.

    No one should razz you bro...it's an interesting alternative and one I might've considered prior to my GF purchase..I'm happy with my GF and am awaiting the controller upgrade - now put off here until "Febrewary"... Thanks for sharing...

    Isn't the element concealed? If you're thinking about the bottom/sides, I might suggest a wooden mash paddle. I used a plastic one and it's ok but I picked up a chunk of red oak and am going to spin up a couple of 36" custom wooden mash paddles.

    $600 ffs! Did you guys in the US go back to the gold standard? That's SO cheap that folks there should have one in more than one room!

    I've never had any real issues buying via eBay...including a $50000 truck and a $20K motorcycle. Exercise due diligence and you'll be fine...

    Canadian Roll Call!!

    It was pretty good. Enough so that I picked up another but didn't put it on yet. I've got a few extracts and Festas stockpiled. In fact I've got three or four all grains I've yet to cook up. How did your all grain Grolsch clone turn out?

    Canadian Roll Call!!

    Lol. No probs bro. I have to get in to the city more...did finally get to Garrison this summer. So far since I've been back, I've only visited Boxing Rock, Salt Box and Bad Apple. Next stop will be Spindrift. One of these days I might make a foray into the interior and visits exotic places such...
