Collection: Brewing System Setups & Bundles

There are many options for bundles to provide good value and simultaneously get you started in one go. Buying the base unit alone is usually cheaper upfront but means adding a chiller and fermenter as separate purchases before your first brew. It is dependent on what you already have versus what you need. So it is best to check each configuration and its "What's Included" section to be sure you have what you need.

Yes, a complete kit removes the guesswork of matching a chiller, fermenter, and connections to your brewing system, which is the main hurdle new brewers hit when buying components individually. It's the most straightforward way to go from unboxing to your first batch and knowing everything is compatible.

The basic cooling setup uses a cooling pump kit that controls temperature with cold water which is limited to the temperature of the water being circulated. An advanced setup uses glycol-assisted cooling that can reach much colder temperatures for cold-crashing and more precise temperature control. Choose advanced if you plan to brew often or want faster turnaround between batches.

Most basic cooling setups run on tap water through a counterflow chiller, so no extra equipment is needed to get started. Advanced and glycol-based setups improve chilling speed and consistency but aren't required for a first brew.

Yes, these are built on Grainfather's standard accessory ecosystem, so you can add pressure transfer kits, glycol chillers, or additional fermenters later without replacing your all in one brewing system.
