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...

I have just pitched a Yorkshire Ale yeast I bought from Brewlabs before Malt Miller started distributing them, I like their no nonsense method for the starter culture. It takes me back to the days (1970's !) when I cultured yeast from bottles of Guinness , so I dug out my old thermos food flask...

I have the Pill and am currently using it for the fourth time, so far it has logged for approx 50 days and the battery strength is >99%. It does require careful setting up - charging, registering, finding your way around the Rapt Portal with Captive on your phone and then on home Wifi. I printed...

Brewing and bikes. Much better use of a garage than housing a car.

Myself and a group of friends regularly buy casks directly from independent breweries, if they are local they will deliver. Just be aware that they may only deliver on certain days of the week in your area and will want a refundable deposit of £50 per cask. When I buy beer from breweries in...
