Fotofisher, I want to thank you for all your tips, videos and info sharing. I recently purchased a Grainfather here in Canada (yes we run on 110-120V too) and was able to "pimp up" my unit and do lots of reconnaissance. The timer was a great idea, although I went with a rugged, waterproof Taylor with a magnetic bracket. As well, I'm going to wrap my Reflectix with a Graincoat as soon as it arrives. I also use a heatstick (Allied Precision) in a Grainferment to heat my spargewater. Also added is a Yellowjacket GFI and a custom adapter for my aerator tap. All in all, my brew day went well, as I hit the low end of my target OG. The Northern Canadian Light Ale from Noble Grape - a Maritime based chain like Northern Brewer - is happily gurgling in the fermenter. On deck is an Old Peculiar English Brown Ale. Noble Grape is producing custom kits like the "Grainkids"...ie - specifically for the Grainfather. I'm thinking these are good all grain kits to help establish a baseline. From there on, I'll go to my Beersmith supply guy who will build custom kits for any purpose. I'm looking forward for folks here sharing information and I'll soon post videos and pics of my build and process here. It would be nice if we could possibly start a Grainfather sub forum here...
