Robobrew v3 - Walter Wheat Ale

Testing out the Robobrew v3 again while I wait for my Brewie to be delivered.  The unit performed perfectly.  I really wish this unit was available to me 10 years ago.  It has everything you need to dive into all-grain brewing and keep it simple, all at a very reasonable cost.  The brewing process is so easy, albeit rather use intensive.  The only true hands-off time is during the mash and during cooling.  But I still highly recommend the unit.
