grainfather

I am homebrewing for 10 years. After all the kids flew out i had more time to this great hobby. My friend asked me to join here as there are a lot of questions about these automated systems that appeared in the recent years and i have used most of them. I have first built my own system - didn't...

Hello everyone, I've recently started brewing bigger batches on a grainfather like system but i'm running into problems with a stuck mash. My current water to grain ratio is on the low end if i'm correct (about 2.5liters per KG). Total grain bill is about 12kg and I have only 30 liters in my...

Hey guys, I have a Grainfather Connect, just sitting in the box unused. Box is opened, I inspected for damage and account for all parts, but has not been used. Its in the original white shipping box with all appropriate packing. No pictures, its in a box so, I'm sure you know what the thing...

Getting out the game for a while and focusing more on the family. Listing the big items but there are a ton of accessories that will come with the "All-in" price Grainfather connect w/ CF chiller- great shape. converted to quick connects for ease of use 2- SS Brewtech Stainless Brew Buckets Hop...

(Not sure if this should be posted in the Grainfater, Sour or Extract forum. Feel free to move it if you think it fits somewhere else.) I made my first sour a few months back after about 4 years of brewing. The goal was to make a sour that was * Eeasy drinking * Somewhat low ABV * Not overly...

After hours of searching for an article of someone making their own version of a robobrew or grainfather, I couldn’t find one that really came all that close to the real thing. I came up with a plan to make a hybrid of a “robofather” and an electric BIAB rims system. For anyone looking to make...

Hi there, I have made my own DIY Grainfather RIMS build, and have put the info om my homepage, so in case someone wish to see it look at: http://posebryg.dk/diy-rims/ One Image to share the idea! There is likely other similary build out there.....! Klaus

Hey I have a Grainfather that I'm pretty happy with for the most part. One thing thats bothering me a little is mash temps when its in celsius. It only does it to a whole number instead of a tenth of a Celsius. That means the unit has "better accuracy" in Fahrenheit. Anyone found a way to...

Hello Guys, Was really hoping to pick-up a Grainfather connect on the second hand market. I live in Seattle, so if you live close that would be a great plus! Not really looking to ship unless the price is really right! Thanks! -B

Has anyone put a sight glass on their grainfather? I like the system for the most part but you can't see what your volume is while you are sparging since the markings are inside the kettle and the basket covers it. It"d be nice to know when to stop collecting wort for preboil volume. I suppose...

Hi All, I have been scouring this forum as well as others trying to figure out what I want for a brewery. Many here have been through many iterations of their breweries. I want to avoid that for the most part as I tend to do that with every hobby (and started to do with this) and my wife gets...

Selling one of my Grainfathers. Its a Grainfather Connect, only about 2 months old, never used to brew, only heat water. Comes with grainfather, connect controller, and counterflow chiller. I'm asking $825 including shipping to lower 48 states. PRICE IS NEGOTIABLE! Cheers!

Hey guys.....I'm taking the leap from extract brewing to All Grain and I'm torn on what equipment to buy. I don't know whether to buy the traditional all grain kits or simply jump up to more sophisticated equipment such as Brewers Edge Mash kits or the Grainfather. Another option would be to...

Hey all, I have a brand new in box Grainfather with the bluetooth connect control box that I got as a gift. I already have one and love it, so I'm asking if anyone in Washington or close vicinity would want it at a discounted price. Asking 900, which is about 100 cheaper than the units on...
