For the past few years, I've honed my brewing skills using a modest setup: a kettle on the stove, alongside some plastic buckets and carboys. After diligently saving, I'm ready to invest in my first all-grain system, adhering to the philosophy of prioritizing quality to ensure a lasting investment. My budget caps at $4000 USD, aiming for a 240v brewing system that includes a fermenter capable of pressure transfers and cooling, all in stainless steel.
In my search, I've narrowed down the options to the Grainfather G40, Brewzilla Gen 4, and Spike Solo, each with its unique advantages. Currently, I'm leaning towards the G40 and Brewzilla, wrestling with the decision of which might offer superior durability and performance.
For fermentation, I've considered the Grainfather GF30, paired with their glycol chiller, and the SS Unitank 2.0, accompanied by SS's Glycol chiller. While I recognize the quality of these options, I'm looking for input on which setup might yield the best brewing experience, minimize complications, and stand the test of time. I'm particularly interested in equipment that will support my focus on brewing NEIPAs, especially in terms of minimizing oxygen exposure during dry hopping.
I welcome any recommendations or insights into alternative setups that could meet these criteria. Thank you in advance for your guidance!
