I meant tape to mark the water leveln
Did you notice much in hop utilisation? Brewlosophy did a vid on hop spiders and I don't think they noticed much difference. Used a hop spider for the first time on Friday. And I could see plenty of oils coming from the basket and beer smelt as good as usual. Saved a load of mess in the bottom of the kettle as well. I'll wait and see what the beer comes out like but it's having a massive dry hop anyway so maybe not the beer to test with.Managed to get a false bottom for mine. Angel homebrew sent a 'back in stock' email. I ordered one pretty much immediately & it was then marked as 'out of stock' so they must have found one in the back of a cupboard.
I might now try a batch without using the hop spider to see if hop utilisation appears any better.

I know this is an oldish post now but I would also add the GF has much better build quality, plumbing fittings, & a decent manual (I've got both )Smarter digital interface, ability to build and send recipes from App/Brewfather, set delays and start in morning evening as you see fit...
That's about it. Also comes with CF Chiller, reckon that if i was plumping for a system now and had GF money I'd go for Brewzilla G4 and pocket £150
24Summer21 code saying expired ,was looking for ss fermenter, anybody found any new discount codes for this or any recommendations for other ss fermenter under £100 .many thanks in advanceI noticed they listed a refurbished silver for £288.99 and with the 24SUMMER21 code for 21% it comes to £228.30. Not as good as the £176.99 we all paid but not bad. Sounds like the refurb might just be an unwanted return and so likely hasn't been through a brew.
Edit: seems they recently had a 30% code 24SUMMER30 so maybe wait until that comes back.
I have a Mundschenk and use a pretty big hop spider in it, I've only done a couple of brews with it so far so it's probably a bit early to tell, but I haven't noticed any comparable difference to when I used to do single gallons on the stovetop with hops in bags.do any of you guys use a hop spider with your rig, or bag or just dump and whirlpool?
i noticed a definite decrease in hop bitterness and flavor with the spider then when i used to use a sac.
thanks
Thanks I used to connect the pump via three way through the single CFC but the extra 12m of coil I added warranted some more oomph ( in my opinion).Oooo this brings back memories.
I had a pumped cfc piped to a BM. Good work.
