All grain newbie

[redarmy990]

So as most on here said i would, i have decided to go to all grain brewing.
I live in a condo so not much space. I was going to just produce 2.5 gallon batches, but i found a grain master equivalant and have decided to buy so i can do 5 gallon batches.
It is a brewers edge mash and boil.

I know this is probably cheating a little but with limited space it was the best option for me.
does any one on here use this type of system

thanks
dean.

Why would you say it is cheating? It is basically just an electric BIAB system. If I had the dough, I'd go that route too.

Never used one but I think it's cool!

Nothing beats having to clear up boil overs on the stove lol

In my opinion, machine brewing is a lot less time and labor intensive. If I was rich, I'd love to have a Picobrew.

I am exactly where you were a year or so ago. How did you make out with the Brewer's Edge Mash & Boil All Grain Brewing System? Did you find any good resources to help you get started with this system? I was hoping you would of had better replies with some advice by now. I emailed homebrew but so far have not heard anything back and trying to put together all the pieces for a success is like wandering in a forest while texting. I'm retired and don't text unless a tree falls on me...

Don't sell yourself short by saying (or thinking) that this method is cheating. You are making beer. Mission accomplished. Use what works for you and disregard anyone who tries to tell you different.

I have made some of my best beer ever with my Robobrew. I have been taking my stouts to many of my favorite breweries in the area and people are loving it. My only regret is that I did not go with something bigger. People are liking my beer so much that I have to brew weekly to keep up!
