Help! I need some good reasons.

I'm planning on moving into all grain from kits. How would you convince SWMBO that a Grainfather is the essential bit of equipment you simply must have and why.

I have the first one..... We have a tiny kitchen.

This should be interesting :)

It's Shiny (not sure she'll go for that one though :lol:)

I don't think you're taking this seriously enough :lol:

It takes up less space than the equipment needed for 3V brewing, it makes for a quicker brewday so you're out of her way quicker, and it doesn't make as much of a mess of the kitchen. Those were my arguments

It will pay for itself in a few months (depending on how much you drink)

I am in the fortunate position that SWMBO is a great beer lover so we get through a fair bit. :thumb:

Start her off by saying you're buying a Braumeister, once she's calmed down tell her you've changed your mind and are getting a Grainfather which will save you £600.
Do you think she'll fall for it?:whistle:

If she ever decides to throw a huge tea party you would have the water boiler....

...buy it for HER! Say you know how much she loves beer..blah blah blah blah blah. ..
Well ask yourself..are the bills paid? Is there food in the cupboards? Do you work hard (ish)? Is this a rehearsal?
....buy it if your answers are yes,yes,ish,no.

Tell her it'll look lovely in the kitchen beside the sparge water heater and ss conical fermenter, simple.

 

[Linalmeemow]

As long as you've got a yard you don't even need to be in the kitchen with an all in one system...

Dont forget to sterilise after recirculation.

 

[Bigcol49]

Hi!
Tell her the Jones's have got one :)

I think you mis read dry hopping as dry dropping

 

[Covrich]

Tell her there are only two devices available to do such a task and if she isn't keen on a GF then you will have to reluctantly get a Braumeister .

Tell her BIAB and mash tuns are myths
