The beer has been good, but efficiency has been variable, and I've been off gravity measurements by as much as 10 pts.
I tried some of the volume changes and circulation recommendations (haven't modded anything) with mixed results. There have been a lot of discussions online about tweaking water volume, sparging techniques, circulation techniques/mods, and using bags to improve efficiency. I did my fifth brew on it today (AHS Irish summer ale), and I'm still feeling a few things out. I'll say that I've been very satisfied so far. If you have any questions I'll be happy to try to answer, but admittedly you'll be getting the opinion of a homebrewing noob who hasn't done all-grain any other way. I haven't heard anyone else around here chime in about the Mash & Boil or other similar things like the Robobrew or Grainfather. Also, Austin Homebrew has used cornies for $49 and new ones for $75. Plenty of used kegs out there from brewers/ ex-brewers. Get a decent length lock/ hose/ picnic tap, along with the plastic tube portion of a gravity bottle-filler (fits inside the picnic tap perfectly), and you have a workable growler/ bottle filler.
$17 tank swap-outs there too (they don't fill on-site/ and the bottles are decently full of gas vs.
Set up w/ red gas hoses and ball locks.Ĭheapest new CO2 bottle I found was at Specs, think it was $70 or $80, and came filled. I have a Taprite T752HP, $95 on Amazon Prime. You'll get to where you have two kegs on tap. Depending upon the size of your kegerator/ and assuming you can fit two corny kegs into it, get at least a double regulator.
