Now use The GrainFather, great electric kit, easy to use, quicker and a lot less hassle then the 3 tier set up, easy to control temps, easy to clean and store away. As far as beer quality I get the same results with a little higher efficency.
My beer preference is English style beers, ESB, Stouts, Strong Ales, Brown Ales, Porters, Red Ales, Rye Ales, Pale Ales, Pilsner, Vienna Lager, Marzen and Octoberfest Lagers.
