    Grainfather!!

    Okay, just a quick follow up on the quick connects. It seems I really overthought the threads. I based it all on some pics I found online from Grainfather, but the US version appears to be different. No shocker there. So this upgrade only required the following parts(i'm sure you can find them...

    Brewing a Berliner With Lactose

    I know this is an old thread, but I'm giving this style a go as well. There have been several breweries around me really pushing the fruity, heavy berliners. Recently having had some from aslin, veil, tired hands and others, I was inspired. I just added lactose last night along with the zest of...

    Grainfather!!

    The connectors arrived last night, I will try and get it all taped up this weekend and make sure all works as expected w/o leaks. Everything looked good at first glance, but I have a Berliner souring at the moment, so didn't want to mess with it. If all goes as expected, I'll post the parts list.

    Grainfather!!

    Unless you specifically direct it to raise temp to mash out, either on the controller or as part of your recipe, it'll hold steady at it's current temp.

    Custom Grainfather Brew Stand

    Great set up! Can you help point me in the direction for where you found the parts for your valve and cam locks? I'm having issues finding the right pipe threads for it!

    Grainfather!!

    Thanks for the tip, will definitely try pushing it down on the next batch. Can you clarify the page you referenced? I checked pages 40 and 48, but no luck.

    Grainfather!!

    Compacting or not compacting? I thought I wasn't supposed to compact the grains prior to sparge?

    Grainfather!!

    Thanks! I actually mixed 3-4x. Who knows, maybe I was off w/ water or something. I just kegged it last night and it tastes amazing, so no complains at all. Might actually be my best brew ever. Just need to tweak the process a bit I think to get my abv back where I wanted it. Gonna do a Lemon...

    Grainfather!!

    Hey Guys, new to the grainfather and just got my first brew on it under my belt! Went pretty well, but missed my efficiency by 10 points, but it was my first brew on it and it was 18lbs of grain. Anyway, not the point of my post. I had seen online that a number of folks have swapped out their...

    New Corney keg lids with thermowell

    Yeah, real estate is hard to come by on there, totally get it. However, I coiled up a decent double run chiller with just under 50' that works pretty darn well: https://www.instagram.com/p/BUshRmxAO5k/ I based it off of the corny pillar by jaded:https://jadedbrewing.com/products/the-cornypillar...

    New Corney keg lids with thermowell

    @Jaybird I would love to see two posts built into the lid, so You can attach a coil to it and chill during fermentation! Due to the angle of opening/closing, maybe you could attach the coil with hoses and clamps to the posts?
