    Agree, these never go on sale. I have the 35L, a great unit!

  • Good deal. I have the RB3.1.1. After 87 brews is still going strong.

    • Is there a limitation on the brew you can do? Im a big fan of imperial stouts and IPA's.
      Dont know much how how brewing but most of the setups ive seen are 2-3 tank setups.

      • Only limit is size and maybe if you are doing like a 14% beer cause of the amount of grain needed. These are an all in 1 sorta setup, so same process as you would with a multi-vessel brewing, just using a single vessel instead. It basically has a big grain bucket that sits int he middle that you use to remove the grain and after the mash process.

        • Ah, got ya. Thanks for that!

          • @MajorGaz: If you're getting into brewing I highly recommend initial investment in the cold side of the brewing process - the fermentation. Yeast are fickle, temperature swings/temperatures outside of their specified ranges can cause all sorts of off flavours.
            Hot side can just be done on the stove or with second hand equipment. Once the homebrew bug has well and truly bitten, then commit to hot side equipment.

            • @iMagoo: Interesting comment. What would you recommend for a newbie to control the cold side?

              • @MajorGaz: If you have the space then I'd just recommend a secondhand fridge/freezer from marketplace or gumtree, a temperature controller and a fermzilla

                If you don't have the space then you could go the glycol route.

              • @MajorGaz: A simple solution is an STC1000, cheap second hand fridge from eBay or Gumtree or marketplace and a heat belt for all year round fermenting.

                Those three things can get your ferment temps where the yeast like them to be and then keep them within about 0.5c of what is set.

                I have this setup and have fermented out 30 odd FWK's, all with success, no losses.

                Of course you must make sure your FB is cleaned well post use and sanitised at the time you start your next ferment.

                Get this right and you're golden.

                • @jollster101: Derp I missed the heat belt! Heat belt, heat pad, all the same really.

                  The inkbird / generic controllers work, but I'm a bit of a Kegland fanboi and like the Rapt ecosystem. $100 for internet connected temp controller, buy once cry once.

            • @iMagoo: Unless your using Kveik yeast then you can safely ferment in the outback in qld up to 40c. just normal room temperature will give a decent brew, try oslo or Lutra, itll give a great beer. My whole setup is geared around high tempature fermenetation and even keep my kegs warm adn serve through a glycol chiller for rapid beer chilling :)

              • @paulcad44: Kveik is a different beast, but it's not impervious to temperature, you will notice additional esters and fusels.

              • @paulcad44: Thanks all. Great comments and a huge help. Now to go down a rabbit hole of research…..

                • @MajorGaz: It's a great hobby. You can make great beer without much outlay.

      • No limit regarding style. I have made Pilsners, Baltic porters, Vienna lagers, altbiers, saisons, Kolsch, Dunkelweizen, doppelbock, whole spectrum of pale ales, stouts, and even a Polish oak smoked wheat beer. I use beersmith to construct the recipe to get within style guides. I have a 35L unit and make between 20-27 litres of drinkable beer each time.

        • It can be more challenging to work with large amounts of malt for high gravity beers, but definitely doable.

          • +1

            @iMagoo: Depends how high you want to go. Strongest I made 8% Saison, but strongest all grain was 7.8% baltic porter.

    cheers bought 4 of the 400L

    • Are you opening a brewery?

  • Are these good for beer only?

      They're a big temperature controlled vessel. Off the top of my head:

      can distill with additional equipment
      can sous vide

      I used mine to heat up the water for the kids little blow up pool. 30L of boiling water in a 200L pool was more then enough.

      You can turn them into a still by changing over the lid and adding another $500or so worth of gear, or you could buy the boiler only for a lot cheaper and add the $500 from there

  • How do they stack up to the Spiedel units? I know Spiedel have a great rep but the price tag reflects that.

    • Diminishing returns at the home brew level. Might have a bit better build quality, but you can knock out great beers from a stock pot with a bag and a thermometer, spending that much on a AIO kettle is ridiculous and is mainly wank factor IMO. Money much better spent on cold side or on serving equipment (kegs are a bit of an outlay, but so worth it)
