Grainfather questions

[Lothar1974]

Hello,

Hoping to ask, looking at getting a grainfather, was originally looking at the G30 but wondering if it's worth it to splurge on the G70? Hoping for some advise. I have been just getting back to brewing but want to do more. Looking to do smaller batches at first till I get my recipes down better. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum
The G70 minimum batch size is 10 gallons. Also 15 amp 220V for power.
I have the G30 and you can do 5 gallon batches. With the micro pipe setup you can do 2.5 to 3 gallons

Hello and thanks for responding. Batch size, clean in place, site glass and a few other options, do you think the price is worth it for the G70?

If it was 10 years ago doing 10 gallon batches I would get it. Looks like a great system, a little pricey for some but I needed to get smaller, pulling out the Blichmann top tier and Tower of Power out of the shed was getting tiresome for my starting to get old body

If you got the dough and are gonna brew 10g batches go for it. I have the 30 and love it. I only brew 5g batches though.
