A long, lovely brew day completed and the second batch done with the brewing system Grainfather and it’s still a joy to use it! I tried to repair the efficiency from the last batch and change mashing time from 60 to 90 minutes and grain crush gap from 1,3 to 1,2mm but this actually made […]
Grand premier for the newly invested brewing system Grainfather AND with grains crushed by the brewmaster himself! After I finished ordering the Grainfather and the grain crusher, I was longing so much to brew my next batch. The experience was exactly as easy and joyful as I’d hope for, or even better yet. It was
