Comparing Electric All-in-One All-Grain Brewing Systems: Mash & Boil, Robobrew, and The Grainfather

Hey there, homebrewer!

[FoScoJo]

With the RoboBrew/Brewzilla (according to Kegland), the intention is to use the recirculation pump to push the wort through the chiller which is in a bucket of ice water outside of the kettle then back into the kettle instead of a standard immersion chiller that goes into the kettle..

I have the Robobrew & in Australia they are 1900 watts on main & 500 secondary. Then again we use 240 volt power .
Love mine.

I would love to see a video on adding a pump to the mash and boil!

[parnellipearson]

Question about the M&B pump you added on. I think I found the one you used, but it's temp max is 131°F. Isn't mash in around 152°F ? TIA

[Cybermunky]

Great video, I was struggling to come to a decision and this video helped quite a bit.

[Bauzer]

Woah! is this vid in 4K?! crazy quality. ;)

[johnrayk]

how in your opinion does the grainfather compare to the new anvil machine? thanks

[daddyRAMROD]

Mash and boil now has a model with a pump. Still cheaper than robobrew

[SteveDBallantyne]

Nice comparison! Would love to see how the Anvil Foundry stacks up against these, if you ever do an update.

Is that pump food safe? None that I found that look like that are.

It’s fine to review the Mash & Boil as a good quality option for a relatively inexpensive price but it DOES come in pump option for just $50 more. You have to factor in the additional cost of a wort chiller as it doesn’t come with one.

[johansmalberger]

What pump did you use on the first mash tun, the one you bought from amazon?

[brianmcconnell]

do these come with a coil or is thease just for makeing the mash?

[azaboppa]

The robobrew over here in the UK is 2400watts. Is yours the version 3 model?

[matthewbishop]

At about 1:15 you show the thermometer hole in the lid with a fitting done to allow recirculation with a pump. I'd really like some info on the parts used so I could duplicate it.

[dennisglover]

When did Grainfather start putting the reset switch on the side? Because I've had two GFs (the first one was defective and the second one was the replacement) and neither one of them have the reset switch on the side. I just got my replacement GF a couple months ago.

[lildapp]

What adapter did u use to add pump hose on top of that 1st unit

[Tsarfun]

Do you have information on the fittings and hose you use for the mash and boil re circulation pump? I'd like to use those items for my current setup.

[DavidHeathHomebrew]

You said that the Grainfather has WIFI. It doesn't have WIFI but it does have Bluetooth :)

[stevenstrawn]

Its all on budget you can even use a digi boil for less than 200$ then build it up as you go.
