I stand to be corrected, but I think that Brewcraft are the local importers - so I would contact them. (BeerGuevara and NFP are the other two local suppliers I believe)
I love my grainfather, but I'm interested why you chose that not one of the cheaper options? If I had my time again I would probably choose a cheaper option.

Ryan (brewcraft) is the sole importer for GF and Still spirits stuff, if I'm not mistaken he supplies Makro. I'd go with the system with the best warranty. I have a G30

Brewcraft is not taking any orders for now and waiting on level 3 of lockdown before opening. Beerguevera dont have and nfp i cant get a hold of, they got it on their price list though.

It came down to the convenience and the support in terms of the amount of info you can find on it. Looked at the demacraft 60 too but no info on it.
Goedkoop is duurkoop also came to mind[emoji23]!

I'm actually also interested in the grainfather ATM. BUT every time I see the price I zip up the wallet. The one thing I'm worried about is the connect. That looks like it's way ahead of anything else out there. Won't I just be pissed at myself 3 months after buying the cheaper option?

Did you contact them to confirm? ... Altho their site states that, they were taking and sending out orders the last ±2 weeks as per other homebrewers

I have spoken to Ryan and actually ordered last Friday. Brewcraft is taking online-only orders and shipping out via courier. Their couriers are swamped though so be patient, that said, I ordered on Friday and my stuff arrived on Monday so they are still super fast.

In terms of NFP - they're hard to get hold of as well. I sent them an email and got an order form. Sent through the order form, and 4 days later got the proforma invoice. Paid in the spot, and then didn't hear from them. Then a few days later TCG just stopped at my house with all my stuff. They're slow, but then again, everyone is slow. The homebrew guys everywhere are working themselves to bits right now. One homebrew store owner said in a newspaper article I read that it's an "absolute shitshow" right now. So just be patient

That is fast!!! I sent an email last night, hoping they will come back to me today.Have you got a cell number for him?

[Toxxyc Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Toxxyc]

I wouldn't spread around anyone's cell number, that's just not on. Orders are said to be online only.

Seems BrewCraft is not currently open for online orders.

BevPlus is open for online orders.

Ordered from them last week, shipped on Thursday, should have it by tomorrow. Very satisfied with service and courier fees, only R315 for just over 70kg of stock.

Wow. I'm looking at ordering around 25kg to 30kg or so of regular pale malt now as well, but I'm not sure where to order from. BevPlus hiked their prices like mad, so I don't really want to support them. NFP has shut down orders due to demand, so I don't know what to do now. Anyone have some tips for me?
