The Bulldog Brewer

[Motorbikeman]

Hi.  with the big drop in the Grainfather price,, 

Are these bulldog brewers as good?     The gap has got a nice bit closer.. 

€410.00 for the Bulldog
€665.00 the the Grainfather

is that not a special price down to move on product to me there is still a big difference no?

250 quid is still quite a big gap I think

I ordered one from Ace uk trading just a boiler and digital temp display. They have a new one coming out soon which which is an all in one brewing system that they think is better than the Bulldog
Might be one to keep an eye on he thinks the price will be around  £320

Are you sure discount applies I'd check with the vendor first, most HBS only allow us discount of full whack price not specials, ask, sure you never know and if you are a regular customer they just might!

I see on Geterbrewed website,  they are giving a ss fermenter away with each purchase

I should add that yoir club discount also applies to the Bulldog . 

Bringing it to around 390.

I have seen the bulldog and it looks like a class bit of kit. My only concern with it is the pump. The pump on the GF is supposed to be bulletproof and the Gf also has a nice counter flow chiller. That being said, is the GF 250 euro better than the Bulldog (scratches head and ponders)

The bulldog does look great for the price and an immersion chiller with a whirlpool produces a clearer wort that a counterflow chiller in my opinion. However, the counterflow chiller is a lot more effective at cooling wort and GF parts are widley available. I'm also put off the bulldog as it seems there's either to much or too little power output.

Why do you say that about the power output, it's perfect in my experience?

[Motorbikeman]

I have never used the grainfathers wort chiller system.     

But I do use an immersion chiller.      And I hose it down for 30 secs and put it back in the shed . 

What its cleaning the GF chiller like?

I should have stated that I do not own one so I don't know first hand but I've seen a few videos now and it seems most users opt for the lower output for their boil (which seems to be quite gentle) as it tends to be too vigorous (videos show boiling wort shooting out of the centre tube like a fountain) otherwise. Video comments agree with this too.
