Grainfather G70 in the U.S.

[highland_brewer]

So I got one in for review.... It is a loaner and I only have 2 weeks with it so I am going to cram as much into the couple weeks as I can.

Anything in particular anyone has an interest in seeing? I am trying to find out an MSRP and a release date. I am curious about the boil as well. David Heath's video did not show much of a boil and some issues with maintaining temps.

What else.. ?

Didnt you do a brew on this already ? I could have sworn I seen your youtube video on it . I subscribe to your channel. I think the price for that is 1800

On second thought maybe it was David Heath and your was the B80 or something like that .

Just got this one.. I have a B80 and a Brewzilla though.. I recently did a review on the small grainfather system.. lol

Now that I think about it , it was the B80 you were live . Keep the good videos coming man . I really like your brewery set up. I will be watching for your G70 video!

MSRP is $1800.00

Actually $1998 based on an email I just got.

Oh dang man that's just way too much imo

That makes sense. The 1800.00 figure must have been Euros. Sorry for the mistake.

I’m late to the thread and reading this on a mobile device - but does it have 220v?

I’d love to hear how heavy that mash baskets going to be as well. I have enough troubles with the 5gallon.

Lots of competition in

It is 240V and I hear you on the basket.. lol I recently installed an eyelet in the brewery and have a pulley system for lifting baskets. I'll be doing it for this for sure!

Make a Mild, lighter basket

 

[highland_brewer]

My initial first look. I also check out the internals in the video as well.

 

[highland_brewer]

Well now I've brewed on it, not exactly a raging success!

Heavy discounts coming to a shop near you soon...

I'm curious to see how this works out for people. I have a sometimes love, mostly hate relationship with my Grainfather G30 Connect. It looks like they've made a lot of improvements in the G70 but at that price it's hard for me to rationalize. Going back to 3 vessel HERMS myself but I know I'm in the minority as most folks seem to love their Grainfathers and the G70 looks well sorted. Genuinely hope it's a success.

 

[Jag75]

Yeah I agree it's too expensive . People will buy it though. I'm perfectly happy with my Gf 30 .
