Did anyone get pics of grainfather conical? Curious about the valve.

I did see the conical but I'm interested in seeing the video too. Beautiful piece of kit.

Thanks, was that just for the fermenter ? What was the price on the glycol unit?

£450 for the FV, didn't get a price on the glycol chiller, but expect near enough the same. Chiller can handle up to 5 FVs and maintain different temperatures on each off the one chiller

If sure you could come up with a suitable alternative with a submercible pump for a fraction of the price of the glycol cooler.
Lovely piece of kit though.

That is true and I am sure that is the first hack someone will do

So I saw geb have prices , it's 560 for the fermenter and then an extra 110 for the valve, and then another 70 for the temperature controller. And 1000 for the glycol chiller, they are great engineered products but the price is huge compared to SS brewtech systems or even brewbuilder. But more incentive to enter the competition for it.
