Hi Mark Once you splice into the pump wires in the icemaster, you don't use the icemaster temperature controller. The grainfather controls the cooling in addition to the heating.

Just a heads up. A 3" tower makes the faucets rather close together. The size of the tap handles becomes a clearance issue.

Corn is perfect at about 20% with Vienna pils for a Mexican style lager. Perfect for those people who typically like only the common beers. It's a crowd pleaser.

Looks like northern Brewer is running the sparge water heater for $50. Is grainfather bringing out a new version? It's a steal if you need one.

I looked into that setup with the idea of chilling the chilling water with that setup. The issue that kept coming up was that it was limited to the cooling capacity of the aquarium chiller. They typically won't go that close to freezing. It limits how low you could take the fermenter. It...

Wow. It was under $20. It does help as I have the cheaper version. I haven't had the build up on the burner portion as i did before, but whirlpool causes it to shift. The best thing would be if the heating element was less dense. (Aka more spread out on the bottom). It does seem to...

These are the cables from Amazon that matches the grainfather cooling pump. (Real 18AWG 43x2pcs Copper Strands) 10 Pairs DC Power Pigtail Cable Wire, 12V 5A Male & Female Connectors for CCTV Security Camera and Lighting Power Adapter by MILAPEAK (2.1mm x 5.5mm, Ultra Thick) Amazon.com ...

I'm using an IceMaster Max 2. If you have the grainfather cooling kit with the pump, I used the hoses and more importantly the cable from it. The grainfather controller can control and power the pump included in that chiller. Just need a matching pair of connectors that match the cable.

New Glarus - Wisconsin Belgium Red. Has to be one of the better cherry beers out there. Its not like drinking cough syrup. It's a nice place to visit. They set up their tasting area very nicely.

Interested in the 2 probe. Thank you

I made about 45 batches on the 120v 5 gallon version. Then while heating my mash water, the smell of burning plastic filled my brewspace. On the plus side, GF did replace the boiler and controller with the updated version. 20A plug and heavier boiler cable. It looks good. My concern is what...

On the replacements, they did not provide the updated 20A plug and socket version? The cable to the boiler element was also updated to a larger wire AWG.

Well ...it happened to me. After 40 brews, the dreaded fused boiler plug to the controller box. Right before I was to mash in 10 degrees shy....I smelled the burning plastic. Damn that cable and controller were hot. Six days and bunch of emails, a new boiler and controller. The cable has...

If you go to ritebrew, you can get a new floor corker for under $50. I purchased one. Great tool at a good price. Only issue is the storage space. Even disassembled, it's not small.
