@mertesn let us know how it goes, and if it takes the "fun" out of doing the mash and boil manually?

I've never done an all-grain brew before, but it's a lot less hassle than an extract brew. The only real mess that got made was a bit of leftover wort hit the floor when removing the grain tub at the end. Other than that, no big deal.

@BuddyJ and @DeathJester and I enjoyed some local brew while watching the process. I'd say it was pretty fun.

The only down side to this model is the 2.5 gallon batch size, but given how easy and consistent the whole process is, it shouldn't be a problem to run back-to-back batches of the same recipe.

Cool. With the right combo of fittings, you can put a counterflow chiller in-line between the Zymatic and the keg - cooling on the fly with intact warranty!
