Just been offered a full refund by GF. ashock1

I'm on Octopus Flux. I get 3 hours of cheap rate from 0200-0500 and the rest of the time the rate are at fixed scheduled througout the day. I get paid to export too, so depending on the time it is good or great. Basically theres a 10p offset between import and export prices. I've got 5.7kw...

Yeah. I've just asked Gareth for feedback again this morning. He is still waiting on Grainfather.

Let us know how it goes. I may also go down this route, but will give Gareth the benefit of the doubt. He's been really helpful.

Just had a similar reply from gareth myself. After noticing the hysteresis on temp control I queried the suitability of the device as "fit for purpose" As has been mentioned, temperature control is pretty critical, and I honestly think the S40 is going to cause more problems. I've asked him how...

Sounds like you've got lots of experience already. You'll do great on here. Folks have helped out no end.

Having similar problems. It just doesnt work as an AIO. Complained to B2B also about the poor temperature control, leaking fittings and now i have also been advised to set boil temp to 103, which it never reaches, so having to use a seperate time. Really defeats the purpose. Can I suggest we ask...

Oh and while I remember, I did whirlpool the wort before transfer, and what a difference it made. Probably only lost a few litres to the trub cone, but it was totally worthwhile.

Thats great to hear to be honest. Thanks for the confirmation. Was about to head home and get it cooling, but I'll let it drop over the morning and get to it this afternoon. Wort was sampled at 1.048 this morning.

Well its sealed up and airlocked, obviously as it cools, it will draw air in, but it is a worry that it will pul something else alongside this. I'll get it pitched as soon as possible though.

Hi Davie, welcome to forum. I've only been here about 6 weeks, but folks are really helpful, so you'll be fine. I'm on my second all grain brew. Just boiled it last night. They were really helpful in confirming steps and advice on any queries, so don't be afraid to ask any questions. Chances...

Thanks for the responses. It does at the moment, smell fantastic. left it to cool overnight, but it is still at 40c this morning. Will it be ok for a few more hours, or best to quick cool it now?

I also notice that the Grainfather temperature control, even when set at 103, is crap. Going from 100-99.

Couple of minutes later. Boiling. Once it gets to 83 it shoots up in temp.

Just starting this one. Waiting on the Boil. Just a quick question. Last beer, an IPA, didn't look anything like this at this stage. This is at 81c, on the way up. Look OK?

Definitely following this one " for the science ". Ready to start my second batch, so I'll be posting up tonight on that one.

So I've been doing as recommened over the past week or so, its taste just hasnt changed. Its obviously flat, and doesnt have a lot of flavour. I've kegged it up, as its now due, 16psi CO2 in a full corny seem ok? I'll monitor over the next while. Think I'll store it in the garage and see how it...

Ok! Thanks for the confidence inspiring comments. Much appreciated. Smells ok. Like a flat hopped IPA. Taste? Is it ok to taste at this point? Assume so, or you wouldnt have said otherwise. Had a few bubbles out of it today. Just keep looking at it, hoping its going to be ok.

So an quick update and search for some advice. After a little bit of digging, its been suggested in some threads to "rouse" the yeast. I've done this by agitating the fermenter a little to see if any noticable change happens. After a few hours, started getting bubbles again, so it looks like...

OK, lots of great comments on here. I'll keep updating as it goes. Was bubbling away happily earlier today, but now seems to have stopped. Just going to check a few things, but after the temp spike at 26 yesterday, it's now back to 22.
