That's a bummer, I had some really good pics! :) Ed :mug:

I see them fine. Maybe your browser or settings? Ed :mug:

@murphyslaw Yep, you're right, I think it's has been discussed a few times on this thread. I use a Graincoat, so that method won't work for me, nor if you use Reflectix to insulate the pot. Ed :mug:

Been doing it this way for a while. I already have an Anova Sous Vide circulation cooker, so that's how I keep my sparge water at 170°F. I also switched out the spigot in the cooler with a bucket type spigot that I can control the flow without having to hold the button in. The other benefit is...

Hi. That rubber ring is nothing more than trim between the kettle and base and I think used primarily to keep spills on the side of the GF from seeping into the base. Mine is over two years old and still on (but it's colored black.) Since your GF is new, I'd go back to the vendor and let them...

Hi. Here you go. 1st pic is bottom grain screen w/silicone ring installed, splatter screen, and overflow pipe. Screen3 by RedlegEd posted Feb 19, 2018 at 4:50 PM 2md pic is bottom grain screen and splatter screen on top. Screen3A by RedlegEd posted Feb 19, 2018 at 4:51 PM 3rd pic is final...

Assembly complete. Bottom grain screen w/silicone ring installed, splatter screen on top, overflow pipe installed.

Bottom grain screen with splatter screen on top.

Grain screen w/silicone ring installed, splatter screen, and overflow pipe.

Hi. Yep. I cut the hole in the center of the splatter screen just wide enough to accomodate the threads of the overflow pipe. When I put it all together, I put the silicone band around the bottom grain screen, then lay the splatter screen on the top and insert the threads of the overflow pipe...

Hi. Have a look here. It's been discussed many times in this thread. Hope it helps. Ed :mug: ETA: BTW, You don't have to insert the screen under the silicone ring (actually, it's a PITA to do so.) Just rest it on top of the lower grain screen and silicone ring. Make sure it's laying flat when...

Wow, that really sucks! Hopefully, you can transfer the wort into another pot and finish the boil. The GF has an excellent warranty, even if you bought from another retailer. I know that doesn't help you at the moment, but maybe your seller will not only make it right, but bump you with another...

Hi. Do you have a pic? Mine doesn't have any rubber there, but if you have a picture, it might help us point you in the right direction. Ed :mug:

Hi. Once you set the delay start timer, it doesn't matter if you have a BT connection as long as there is power to the control box. It will start at the time you set it. I use it all the time, before I go to bed, I set the time I want it to start heating my water to be ready for an early morning...

Hi. I wouldn't bug your your seller over these minor issues. My overflow pipes also have small scratches and it makes no difference in their performance. Since you use them on the hot side, I wouldn't worry about any kind of sanitation issues. As for the little rubber coatings on the bottom...

Hi. I think that gap is too much for a homebrew situation. I suggest trying a closer gap + conditioning to see if your efficiency improves. I use a non-adjustable Schmidling Malt Mill with a factory setting of ~0.045". I condition my grain with ~3% water (by wt) about 24 hours before brewing...

Hi @John475 . Welcome to HBT and the obsession from Tennessee! Congrats on your first brew, and I'm sure you'll be doing many more. Lots of really great info here and many people more than ready to help you out. Again, welcome aboard. Ed :mug:

Hi @PCL . You can look for videos, but it is really, really easy. Pinch the top & bottom of the stainless pump housing, and it'll unclip from the body of the GF. There are two screws holding the pump on, and the little silicone connector hoses. Once you take care of those, the pump is out and...

Hi. After about 25 brews, you should probably take the pump out and clean the head thoroughly anyway, but I don't think that's the cause of your problem. You already stated that the flow rate is fine with the recirc arm and CFC with other liquids. Here's what I found to be a problem with my CFC...

Sorry, no I didn't, but I think it's a great idea! The way I see it, the threaded cap(s) would have two very big benefits. First, it keeps you from knocking off the cap when stirring. Second, it makes for easy, thorough cleaning. If you (or anyone else,) gets this done, I'm in for one! Ed :mug:
