If they were the same price, which would you choose and why? Black friday sales are the equalizer!!
I'm in Canada so the prices are very different. Brewzilla is 700, Grainfather is 1300. If they were the same price, im wondering what most would choose.Brewzilla gen 3 is around 300$ and grainfather I think around 400.
where have you seen them similar in price. I’m about to pull the trigger on an aio and am also trying to decide.
vevor is about 250
nutrachef similar
I think nutrachef gets 4.5 stars on Amazon out of 170 reviews.
these are all the 110 v versions
its hard to search because there’s a million brewzilla threads on here some very long and detailed.
im prolly going to get a vevor.
i think it has all the same functions as the brewzilla 3 and comes with a hop spider and is about 50$ cheaper . Still the gen 3 for 300$ seems like a great deal.
At OBK, it's actually even cheaper at the moment...even tempting me;I’m a stovetop brewer so either db. Or brew z. Would be a huge step up for me. I considered db. With mash upgrade. as i think the only difference is programming and pump. Which I guess is not needed if I’m already getting good efficiency on the stove. I like the idea of circulating the pump while aroma hopping.
also the db with mash upgrade (or similar electric tall kettle with mash pipe etc. ) Was only like 50$ less than the vevor.
getting back to the topic
i found this
https://www.brewersfriend.com/forum/threads/grainfather-vs-brewzilla.14396/
and even more on target is this thread:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/grainfather-vs-anvil-foundry-vs-brewzilla-vs.701341/
and if you type "brewzilla vs grainfather" into google three vids come up specifically for bz vs gf
obk in canada has the bz 4 on sale for 549 Canadian which sounds great even in usd / lol
you have a lot of research to do.
cheers
I watched a review on YouTube where they did a side by side, there was only a 30min time difference overall between 110 and 220v... not sure that's worth the flexibility kf moving it..At OBK, it's actually even cheaper at the moment...even tempting me;
https://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/brewzilla-35l-gen4-220-240v.htmlEDIT: That's the 220V version...if I ever bought one I would definitely get a 220V one for the shorter times to heat.
I would be using a dryer outlet in my laundry or a garage outlet if I went that route. Thanks for the feedback.I have never brewed on a GF, so I would value the opinion Whiskey River! Forgot to mention we have the 35L Version of the Brewzilla, 110V, and it is slower and does not boil as vigorously as the 220V, so my opinion of 110 vs 220 is founded on experience. But, you can work ahead and pre-heat water to save time. The cost of me running the 220V outlet was not insignificant, and did it myself as I have sub panel that I can kill power to and not be in the main breaker box. Regardless, think you are the right path vs what I have seen with propane the variability you get in temperature and controlling it.
Did you end up going with the Vevor?Brewzilla gen 3 is around 300$ and grainfather I think around 400.
