Cooler Grainfather

[John67]

Hello Beerbrewers,

Does anyone know if you can replace the hoses (which the wort goes through) with the cooler that comes with the Grainfather? I think they are too short. I am afraid that if I loosen the coupling it will no longer be leak-proof. Anyone experience that?

Greeting,

I guess it's at your own peril.

I have replaced my hoses without a problem, they are standard compression type fittings. No leaks but make sure you get the right size tube, both ID and OD for the fitting.

 

[John67]

And what the right size you used?

 

[Cameron Gray]

Fairly sure it was 12mm OD, 8mm ID. But take a sample to the shop to match it.

Also, if you are in the US I'm not sure what the old imperial equivilants are. Probably something like 7/16th OD and 5/16th ID

No I am not out of the US (unfortunately I have never been there). I'm from Holland but we have a good brewershop at a few kilometers from here.
