Fresh from the main trade event of the year, here is the full information announced to the homebrew industry by Grainfather about their forthcoming 70L brewing system along with many thoughts from the trade and public.
What do you think?

 
I've never owned an all in one system and don't know a great deal about them but I think if I had the cheddar to be shelling out on a G70 I'd be seriously considering going that £500 odd further for the Brewtools 80L. In for a penny, in for a pound as they say.

It certainly was the talk of the event in my industry at least. The price seems to be getting a lot of negative attention in public also. It is not too late for them to change it though.
 
If I had that kind of money I think I'd buy two smaller one-pot systems and another fermenter. 70 Litres is a lot of one type of beer to get through - although I suppose you could use this commercially.

This is what I often think about for these large volume systems. So you have a few mates who also drink you're HB but 70L+ is still a huge amount to get through
 
agree with both of the above in terms of 70L being too much for my solo homebrewer needs.

could be showing my ignorance here but I reckon a small brew pub brewing every day or twice a day (maybe 3-4 days a per week) could get by with one of these.

This is what I can only imagine these larger set up are for - small commercial enterprises or small to medium ones for pilot batches
 
70l is a good size. Enough to fill at least 2 cornies and would save time brewing. Way too much money though. Good review David.
Thank you. I guess it just depends on personal situation at the end of the day. Perhaps systems like this suit people that brew together socially or those that mostly brew the same beer often and want to brew less.
 
What Beercat said.... making a double batch it more isn't much more bother than making 23l...as for having a lot of the same stuff you could always split the wort and do different dry hops..

Yes, quite true. I have a video on split wort brewing, you can actually make a crazy amount of styles from the same grain bill by using different yeast and cold side additions.
 
.."cold side additions" I like that but usually for me it's pork pies and scotch eggs!
haha. I just came back from Germany. There its just endless amounts of sausages and pork. The beer is pretty good though!
 
Watched the review Dave very good and unlike the US ones no gallons and Fahrenheit thought it was unbiased. But all in ones not for me where the fun in that.
