Hi folks.
New member here from South Essex.
Used to home-brew 20+ years ago, and having just been made redundant I'm looking to brewing for the next chapter in my life....
Basically, I have a brew buddy and between us we are serious about starting a new brewery (did I hear a chuckle or two? Perhaps a loud scoff!:lol:)
To fast-track my way back into up-to-date technology I'm heading to UBrew this weekend. While I get to make my first 21st century brew, I also aim to find out if it's going to be better to invest in a Grainfather/Braumeister to test various recipes, or whether to use a lesser automated system.
While I appreciate that the hands-on approach gives (probably) a far greater satisfaction, my thoughts are that a more automated system will/should provide more accurate results through slight variations. (I'd be interested for your views).
Of course, being bound for a commercial brewery, my presence here may be poo-poo'd. Fair enough. At least I'll know!
All comments greatly appreciated.
