+1 for GC2 and Grainfather GF30 conical, good neat integrated system, very easy to use and clean. I have the G30 placed on a low shelf in my garage that the GC2 fits under and that means I can bottle or keg directly from the drain valve. I fill the GF30 using the pump from my Brewzilla (on a...

Chippy check out B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North) based at Melling in the Lune valley. Community owned not for profit providing 1Gb fibre to the premises. 1Gbps down and up Not sure if they reach you. You will only achieve full speed if connected physically to the router, agree with all the...

I don't understand why you are keeping dried yeast in the fridge, it is stable at ambient temperature. My practice with dried ale yeast (usually SO4) is to take an aliquot of wort approx 500ml at the end of boil, cool it and add the 11g packet of dried yeast to it to to start fermenting while...

Your welcome, it is a bit fiddly but works.

It just fits in one orientation.

Do you know what make it is and I presume it is a clamp on pump?

👍

Does anyone know where you can buy spares for Anagram hand pumps. Just broken the glass cylinder on a friend's pump.😞

Is this still for sale? Do you have a price? Cheers

Extract from Conical Fermenter Pro Instruction manual: Temperature distribution changes as it cools. Therefore, when cooling at low temperatures, a reading that’s taken at the top of the fermenter with an additional probe, such as a Tilt hydrometer, may be different to a reading that’s taken in...

I finally cracked and bought a Grainfather GC2 to connect to my GF30 instead of the coolbox/ice pack/pump setup. 10 days into my lager fermentation and the garage temperature in North Lancashire hasn't yet risen above 12 deg C!

No criticism intended, Tess knows what she is doing, just bad luck.

Rule of Thumb: Always clean immediately before use.

Hi Tess, Sorry to hear that your first batch fermented in the GF 30 is spoilt. I have a GF30 and really like it and have used it for over 50 brews without any problems. I can't remember how I first cleaned it; I have been a long time VWP user for glass and plastic but bought Kegland...

Brewfather. Comprehensive. Guides you through planning and brew day. Works seamlessly across my android phone, iPad, desktop iMac. Rapt Pill integration is good. Value for money.

I've brewed all grain beer for 40 years and had never come across the diacetyl issue. After retiring from work I have re-equipped and reviewed my procedures; in the process I first came across the "problem" of Diacetyl and was surprised by the level of anxiety it generated among home brewers. I...

Hi tiger Tim, The Brewtech pump does look more business like. I am tempted to buy a GC 2 and second Conical fermenter, but then remind myself that I managed for 40 years with a plastic bucket and aquarium immersion heater. My brewery is in my multifunctional garage and using the Grainfather...

I have used one of these kits attached to my Grainfather Conical to circulate cold water from an insulated picnic box since March 2021. I do not use it all the time but I use it during the warmer months for Ales to avoid overheating and whenever I brew lager (mostly through winter), it works...

Hi, Just spotted your question. It is a King Keg top tap I have had for some years fitted with a Ballihoo valved cap with square section sealing ring. I have used King Kegs for many years mostly with a bottom lever tap - they work well for me. I naturally condition the beer in the Keg using a...
