Make sure your element switch is on full blast, not the mash setting. If you are brewing in a cold or draughty area, insulate.
Any advice or methods when doing banco to back brews?
Do you need to fully clean the grainfather prior to starting your next brew or a rinse is fine?
After 95 brews my CFC has sprung an internal leak. Unfortunately I've past the warranty period.
I was about to brew something when I noticed water coming out where it shouldn't. And it explains why the previous batch ended up being 25L into the fermenter instead of 23L ... (and I assume I probably picked up an infection there too, although I'm yet to taste this batch).
RIP CFC.
The red pipe is the waste water, you don't connect it to a hoseHi all, I've just acquired a grainfather and am wondering how you guys connect the red hot water out tube to a garden hose. Anyone done this?
Thanks all
Mark
sorry if this has been answered or discussed but i searched and wasn't able to find anything.
i'm doing a rice lager and using 20% minute rice (1kg). has anyone done similar and if so, was your sparge okay? any experiences or recommendations would be a big help!
How did you go with this fletcher ?
Hi Mr_B - I can't comment on the reset switch tripping, but as for the boil only getting to 95degrees, as someone else mentioned, make sure you have the switch on the bottom set to "Normal," not "Mash"... AND - if the power cord is hanging too close to the GF, it will not reach boiling (cord heats up, will affect power flow to element.) so make sure it's sitting away from the boiler.just trying to find out if anyone has had this problem with the grainfather
i did a single 4.5kg of Joe White Pale Malt 27l water and 4l of sparge water
problem was did not get to a good boil and would only get to 91dg
all in all i brewed it for 90mins and in the fridge see what happens ?
today i tryed the same again to see if any problems and bugger me it would not get over 40dg
so i had to transfer all out to see if it was suck some how or what so clean it all out bugger of a job tipped it upside pushed the reset button and tried again and it worked to 67dg and sat there again farkk
did the same but only tipped it on its side a bit and push button and of it went again to 95dg and sat there
so be sides hitting with hammer any one had this problem.
