I’d take £400 for the Grainfather, happy to courier it if arranged, or I could drive it in a 50 mile radius for delivery/meet.

I’m selling off a lot of kit on eBay, including a Grainfather and assorted other stuff, if anyone fancies anything then drop me a line. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Grainfather-All-in-One-Brewing-System/163854427589?hash=item26267c25c5:g:urIAAOSwA71ddksC...

Hello all. I've had a brewing break for the last year and I'm looking at drastically reducing the amount of kit I've accumulated over the past few years. I've got a hundred or so regular bottles, and 30ish flip top ones in good nick. Three fermenting bins, a large and a half size pressure...

Hi, near me by the looks of it.

Hmm. Don't quite know why this has ended up going to to you then, if you're not from the Hemel area!

Apologies, work dragged me away. Still up for trying to find local brewers if you are!

I'm not that far from you as the crow flies. I've looked for local home brew clubs as well but found nothing so far, I'm open to setting something up for the area.

10 litres.

I've made a lot of batches of ginger beer over the past two years, as my wife is a fan. I tried a Coopers kit one, which was pretty foul, then attempted the fiery ginger beer recipe on this forum a few times, but it always turned out too thin and dry, and needed a lot of lemonade or cordial...

I know them well, many thanks. I'll get one in.

That sounds like a good size for my brews. What make is it?

I do 10 litre batches in mine, not needed the additional pipework. Works well for a full-volume mash at that quantity.

I manage to heat all my gf sparge water in a 15 litre saucepan on the stove, which has worked so far for me, brewing in the kitchen.

Nope, as I make it up to 22 or so litres with cold water, that normally gets it cool enough to pitch the yeast.

It's given it perhaps a bit more sweetness than I anticipated, but the kit is quite heavily hopped, so I wasn't sure how it would balance out. I like it, but yes, you could certainly drop the chocolate down.
