grainfather

Hi, I have just bought myself the micro pipe set for the grain father and planning on doing a small batch this weekend. As this is a small batch, I can fit all the needed liquor in the kettle during the mash. This would be nice, reducing the need to set up the sparge heater and having to do...

New addition: Refurbished Grainfather. My OG Grainfather was the victim of the dreaded melted plug. I received a replacement unit and set upon repairing this one. Replaced the plug in the controller and everything works great. Have used the controller recently for a brew day with no issues...

Good day, My name is Brian S. I live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. I am new to home brewing, having almost completed my first brew. I bottled the product a few days ago, and now just have to wait to sample. I am brewing with a complete Grainfather system incl. Grainfather Chiller & Grainfather...

Homebrewing is a hobby that can be as complicated or as simple as you want it. And homebrewers are likewise varied in what aspects they enjoy most. There are those that are just out to do something different than the norm, those that love to build and create sophisticated custom brewing systems...

Not every homebrewer is a die-hard Do-It-Yourselfer. I mean sure, most of us feel the call occasionally – it’s probably the same brain wiring that makes us want to brew beer instead of buying it at the store. But there’s a big difference between screwing a bulkhead into a cooler, and that guy in...

I have a lightly used Grainfather system for sale. It has all the original parts, insulated graincoat, hop spider, and storage bag. I went to a 240 v system so no longer need it. North Houston area. SOLD!

Hello... I am a newbie brewer. Not sure if this is the right forum to ask this question. I am thinking of moving from my 6.5 gallon plastic bucket fermenter to a new Grainfather Conical fermenter. I am looking to brew a Belgian Tripel for the first time. I have heard that the fermentation can be...

Asking $975, local pickup only in PA, 18011. This is a brand new Grainfather Connect that I took out of the box, but just sat aside and never used.... Had a kid, need I say more? All the accessories are brand new as well (no boxes though). Nothing has even been cleaned. Items included...

I have a Grainfather with the connect controller for sale. I am located in Nashville, TN. The Grainfather is in great condition and functions like new. Grainfather Connect Brewing System- $550 Accessories Included: Grainfather sparge water heater, Grainfather counterflow chiller...

Hi all! I have had a grainfather for a while now but have had a brewing hiatus. I find it hard to fully drain the CFC free of water. I picked up the CFC yesteday and realized that it had not drained completely, meaning that there has been water inside it or two or three months. My normal...

I'm planning a big stout but because I have a GF I'm going to have to use a lot of DME. If I dissolve 3.5kg of dme in a few litres of water can I steep speciality grains in it? Chocolate and Carapills? I've tried reiterating mashing, sparging too much and boiling longer but it's just easier to...

Im upgrading to a 10 gallon system so its time to sell the Grainfather Connect. I have brewed about 25 batches on this system and its GREAT. No complaints other than I wish it was bigger. For sale (1) - Grainfather connect (1) - Graincoat (1) - Gasket Kit, never used All accessories come with...

As much as I hate to do it I am going to part with a fairly new Grainfather Connect. I only had a couple brews on it before I moved into a place that doesn't support 5 gallon batches anymore. So sadly I need to part ways with it. Comes with the insulating jacket, the counter flow chiller and...

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I brew in a Mash & Boil all in one system which I have modified by adding a pump for recirculation of my mash which greatly increased brewhouse efficiency. I typically brew 4 gallon batches so that I can ferment under pressure in a corny keg. For this reason, it is very...

Hello Grainfather users, I just got a unit and have a few questions about using the pump. Since there's no tap, all the liquid in the unit needs to be pumped out (or dumped) after usage. I was wondering if when pumping liquid out, one should be careful that the pump doesn't run dry. Say, if I...

Hi folks I believe some of you have both grainfather's chiller and conical. Same here :) But unfortunately new equipment usually does not include an additional appartment's space ;) so I'd like to optimize the space somehow.... Do you know/have you tried by chance to install conical on top of...

Hello Grainfather Users! I use a Grainfather sparge water heater fitted with a ball valve and a short length of silicon tubing for my sparge. I keep a constant trickle of water going through the mash tun but never have the 10mm or so of water that the Grainfather folks say they have on top. Do...

Hi guys, My friend asked me to join Homebrewtalk and share my experience with the different automated systems. I am making this thread to do exactly that. I haven't seen any thread where they actually compare different systems, just threads on each system. I have used most automated systems...
