RAFFLE #18 Grainfather Advanced Brewery Set Up

[Broken Toe]

That was the most intense tombola of my life! Congrats @IainM

 

[OldPeculiar]

Well done @IainM!

 

[St00]

Oh FFS!!!! By which I mean, congratulations @IanM

 

[krispn]

Congrats to Ian!

 

[IainM]

Thanks all. Not sure how I'm going to break it to the wife but it's the best tenner I've ever spent. I'd better start watching them David Heath videos.

Congrats! The beers are definitely on you - when you've brewed them on your new kit, of course.

 

[Poddyc]

Congrats @IainM! All best with new kit.

Grainfather envy already kicked in here.

Let us know how you get on with new gear...

To save that conversation with SWMBO sell it to me for £20 and you have doubled your money

No wait, I have a better idea.

IainM now holds his own Grainfather raffle but sells the same number of tickets at £9 each, which everyone agrees is a bargain. Then whoever wins does another Grainfather Advanced Brewery raffle with tickets priced at £8 each. We can keep this going all year as some sort of bizarre pyramid scheme where no one actually ends up with the prize...

 

[St00]

I have that kit already, but would have kept the additional conical and likely gifted the Grainfather and Chiller to my son. If you need any assistance @IanM just PM me, but definitely watch all of the David Heath videos relating to the GF30 as they're the most valuable brewing resource I've found. Also there's a Grainfather Users UK Facebook group and the David Heath Facebook group.

 

[Subtle Duck]

Bravo Ian, pretty darn jealous

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Congratulations Ian that is a lot of kit for so little money.

Thanks all. Not sure how I'm going to break it to the wife but it's the best tenner I've ever spent.

Just tell her you swapped £10 for £1800 i am sure she will be fine.

Congratulations @IainM

Congratulations @IainM , this has been an interesting day and your's all the more so. We can all enjoy your win by proxy and great that we've been able to take part in a raffle where the prize was going to be so appropriate and be enjoyed on an ongoing basis by whoever won it. I'd love to hear how that conversation goes with your OH about where it's going to all go . Happy Friday everyone and cheers to all those that took part in this raffle.

(Personally there's enough stress in my life without this kind of anxiety and I'm remembering why I don't do gambling.. I can't take the anxiety of the expectation. Not going to do that again for a long time!)

[Dazzelknight]

Who needs a GF anyway !! Congrats

 

[MirtazaPaul]

While I will be dearly glad to contribute to the happiness and joy of another through their win of this handsome dark trio. there is I'm afraid to say a part of me that would so so really like to win this and along with @StJayJay I'm feeling almost embarrassed by how invested I am in this raffle, it's not very decorous of me .

Anna

Ha!
I procrastinated so it seems I am too late to enter.
If you do find the whole thing indecorous, I will gladly give it a good home

 

[531Man]

And with that a hundred dreams are crushed !

Well done IainM

Make that nearly two hundred dreams crushed.
Congratulations to @IainM none the less.
Lucky boy.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

It'll be interesting to see how @BenParr tops this.

 

[Theoriginalrich]

Congratulations @IanM. You lucky lucky lucky man.

 

[StJayJay]

Fix!
Hope your first batch oxidises
I’m never entering a raffle again
Warm congratulations on your success

It is the Michelangelo action figure all over again though, and this time no Brut as a consolation prize. At least I won’t smell like like a late 80’s lower league footballer this time.

Seriously though, well done Ian, and cheers to Ben for putting on the raffle and all the entertainment it’s brought, especially over the past 24 hours!
