Hi guys and gals! My name is Kirk, UK based brewer (Cornwall) and very excited for the next step in my homebrewing.
I'm not entirely new to homebrewing. Homebrewed for a few years now.... But, I've only ever done extracts or part extracts. I want to make the move to all grain. Mainly because I've noticed the "all in one" systems making things a little easier, as opposed to having to have to fabricate my own equipment!
My question is this... I want to purchase an "all in one" and upgrade all my gear - budget £1000 but willing to go a bit higher if needed......
I love the look of the beacon or the brewmonk, all at the smaller literage. But am aware I'll need a wort chiller. What would you all recommend? As for sparging, I'm just going to use a kettle.
Then theres the need for a new fermenting vessel. Which I'm torn between the fermzilla or the transfermer. I've only ever used a plastic bucket...... (no shame)
Finally, I've always had a bit of a battle with keeping my fermentations at the same temp... I have been tempted to move towards the ferminator. What do you all think? Bearing in mind it would need to house my fermenting vessel too...
Sorry for the load of questions.. keen to upgrade and ramp up my homebrew. Don't want to spend before I get some advice.
Cheers
Kirk
