    grainfather boil

    I totally agree, I actually think you can run with the top on, but then when I had put it on once, after I added the additional sparge water that drained out while boiling, to get it back up quicker to boil, boom! Boil over nearly occurred! Another bit of advice. While sparging we all flip...

    grainfather boil

    I never thought of that (temp at top). Just consider a boil that is bubbling up (with a roll over such as I get in my GF) a boil. Have you ever boiled, in a large kettle, and taken the temp at top? Wonder if there is any (appreciable) difference to the 190 you measured?

    Oh geez, I just figured he didn't think things through well. Sounds great, welcome! The CFC is awesome with these low winter tap temps. In the summer you will want to pre-chill. On the last one I pre-chilled I tried freezing my I/C in a bucket of water (after blowing it out of course). I...

    Book it! Pats better win this one, won't have those annual division wins, it's over baby! :)

    South Jersey/Philly Group Buy Round 42!

    Why is there traffic on this thread? Is someone starting it up again? Last post that indicated that was from Sept. I'd be in if this happens.

    Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

    I brewed this end of November and still have some to enjoy (bottled late Dec). I brewed essentially #1 version. I didn't like the hops in so long and decided to go FWH with them. Same amount except I upped the Chinook to 1.25oz as the hops were 2yrs old, frozen, well sealed, not vacuum. It was...

    Well written dbone! I totally agree with this, and would like the handles. They can fit it on the lid, plenty of room to make it work with CFC there, but I highly recommend not keeping the CFC on the lid during cooling, whirlpool fine. Robo should really use a moving table in their video to...

    Obnoxious Football Trash Talk Thread

    Ahh, you mean in the good old days, 3 decades of Patsie teams, ok with one or two exception years but even then they got blown out in the token SB they made... I think these guys all go for the money, can't blame them either. Except for Brady since his wife makes all the coin. Another way the...

    Exactly. Folks who don't own the GF continue to miss this critical advantage point of plug and play. If Robobrew doesn't go 110 I think they miss a large market segment. Sounds like you've got your mind made up, good for you! I agree I would like the faster times (yes I can add a boil stick, I...

    That's just wrong. That's very true. Now if Ross can leave Gase to his development path, the fins will own the AFC East. Agreed about the luck of the pick and if Bledsoe stays healthy.... Your East part now.....

    I stand corrected, but I think my inference wasn't much of a stretch. At any rate, let's hope you're correct, as I will hope that the Falcons win on Sunday, and Brady slips next year and needs replacing.

    Ok, maybe not verbatim, I implied that from "The biggest thing with Brady, that most fans of other teams don't realize, is how complex the Pats' offense is and how it all funnels through Brady"

    I certainly don't watch many Pats games (obnoxious alert- cheaters; ref favoritism- tuck this!) so I will take your word for it, but I do think this is not unique to the Pats per se, I mean you really can't believe only they plan that way do you? Additionally, you had success with the two I...

    Let's assume Belichick (who knew the spelling was of a baby chicken, huh??!) is able to hold his job while finding "another" Brady (possibly Beldsoe is able to win regularly for a few years, even if not a SB). Along comes Cassel, he goes 11-5 (and my Dolphins win the division and knock out the...

    Yo Patsies (:)) another serious Q in your trash talking thread.... Kraft was asked the other day, "who is more to credit for the team's success, Belichek or Brady". Clearly it is a great pairing, but he answered Belichek. I agree (if for nothing else, there is Garapolo and Cassel as successful...

    He notes Robo as 1/2 price of GF, I checked and indeed in Australia the price is 1/2 price, if that holds (not sure why it wouldn't) the GF is in trouble, especially if they go to 110v here. The Mash & Boil will be in worse shape in comparison. Few more questions I have- Does that I/C reach...

    Yeah, I think that would be great to see it in action!

    Grainfather!!

    I've continued to be curious about the Mash & Boil. Well there have been 4 reviews on WillamsBrewing, all 5 stars. Folks considering a purchase should look at this one as well ($299). Not a like comparison to a GF, but might be something to consider...

    grainfather boil

    Agree to the above. Two more questions- are you on a 20a circuit (you noted on a dedicated, but not the amperage. not sure if that could impact it, but 15a would be pushing the load)? Is the plug hot? Boil at 4250' is 203.8F.

    Grainfather!!

    Borrowed?? Holy crap, they swiped a lot! You'd think they'd would've done a better job with that video, background noise and awkward elevation of the product (a table that can rise and fall would be great with this, drop during sparge, raised rest of time). I'd be pissed if I was the GF team...
