Yeah I read somewhere to wet it and seemed to go in great till I tried to flatten it out at the bottom. Such a bummer, was planning on my first brew tomorrow. Hopefully I can get another basket sent out ASAP :( CHRISTMAS IS RUINED (just kidding)

Well, got my grainfather last night, and I think its got a defect making it unusable. There is a dent in the basket underneath one of its "legs", for lack of a better word. This dent protrudes to the inside. I noticed because I couldn't get the false bottom in after trying for half an hour...

Ok, I'll bite. Anyone want to take a stab at this one? I wou would be grateful for any feedback. http://www.lbcwd.org/home/showdocument?id=810

Mine is being delivered from Adventures In Homebrewing on Thursday. I'm at sea level. Bought a grain coat. God please let this not happen to me. Sorry you're having issues.

How long do you roll for in each session? How many sessions typically? What is the temp of your beer/keg? How much time in between sessions? Thanks man!

Well. I've done it everyone. I read all 86 pages in 2 days. And I still have no #$%#^$ clue which method I'm going to use on my first keg. Le sigh... Thanks for the insight everyone!

I just ordered mine this morning as well :) Super excited for my first brew. Question for you Grainfather owners regarding chilling the wort...please forgive a possibly stupid question. does anyone run the wort-out hose back into the Grainfather? if it takes about 20 minutes to drain wort...

Hey Singy, I emailed Grainfather peeps regarding this exact thing. Here was their response when I asked if an upgraded version would be realesed in the near future: "We are constantly looking to improve the system and make it better for our users but the Grainfather is designed as a modular...

Damn you redwing, just when i thought i had made my decision!

Definitely doing 5 gallon batches or less. Excited to split into two batches and experiment with dry hopping or different yeasts, whatever. Grainfather should cut a commission check to the OP, I think this thread has sold a few Grainfathers for sure and pretty sure I am about to be one of...

KC, thanks for that. Me being so inexperienced, I am terrified of making a wrong decision. Especially with so few reviews out for Colorado Brewing systems. Really I just want to make sure that neither will inhibit me from making the best beer possible.

Hey Guys. I'm totally torn...I was about to pull the trigger on my first homebrew setup when I came across this thread. I had seen some videos of the grainfather a while back and it looked kind of cheesy/toy-like to my inexperienced eyes. Also, being a new homebrewer, I sort of felt like it was...

Would you be willing to do 3 plinys for a sixer of 12 ounce ZDs? I'll throw in an extra 22oz that i have (nothing to write home about but hey, it's beer!) Send me a private message with your info. I tried sending you one but your box was full!

What do you think is fair?

Quick question as I am new to electric...what would you guys think about using the 20G system with 2 120V elements as opposed to the 220 or 240v, not sure what it is. I have an electric stove, so I could probably plug into that, but I don't know for sure and I know the wiring in my apartment is...

Got a few Plinys bottled on 11/17. Looking for Zombie Dust, Heady Topper, or something similar. New to trading and haven't tried any of those yet! Willing to ship first as this is my first trade (on this site).

I'm going to be coming up on a bunch of Pliny/Elder this coming weekend. Would love to try some Heady if you can get some more and want to trade. let me know!

I'm going to be coming up on some Pliny/Elder this coming weekend, would love to trade. Let me know if you can get your hands on some from fresh ZD

My stove may be, I'll have to check. It's an electric stove so good chance. I can't use my washer/dryer as it belongs to the apartment complex. Would be some angry neighbors. Thanks for all the info!:)

What do you guys think about splurging for the Pro version as opposed to the 120v 5 Gallon system. I doubt I will use it as a ferm. chamber because I'm going to want to keep strict temp control and I also will not be able to keep a water source hooked up to it for 2 weeks (not to mention i...
