Hello,
I currently have a cooler setup/propane for my all grain brewing. I have been watching more and more brewers use one vessel BIAB electric brew systems such as GrainFather and RoboBrew.
Is there anything I should be aware about that could negatively affect my beer/brewing when making the swap? From all my research (other than expense) it is an all out upgrade. (Cleaning/brew time/multi-temp mashing/built in pump/controller/brew indoors/easier storage). I have read that BIAB can lessen the brew-house efficiency but I imagine with buying an electric system such as a RoboBrew that it would actually increase it.
Has anyone had any horror stories/problems/or things I should consider when making the switch? Im considering the RoboBrew because its only $500. From all my research I cant seem to justify to spend the $800 (deal from NortherBrewer) for the grain father as it seems very similar.
