The Grainfather Connect first Brew Day.

Check out my first ever brew day with the Grainfather Connect. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEN SPARGING, DO NOT LET THE WORT DRAIN OUT OF THE GRAIN BASKET BEFORE YOU START SPARGING - THIS WILL CAUSE A STUCK SPARGE.

    Well done on your video bud. Find myself coming back to it every brew day for a great reminder. Quick and thorough video.

    Barefoot brewing, bave! Thanks for this, haven't used my GF in a while and needed a refresher. Quick tip, a handful of first hops in before it boils will produce enough oil to prevent boiling over, this wont affect the recipe, just a few cones or pellets.

    Thanks for the video, lots of useful information. I have recently purchased the G30 V2 and the included instructions are very limited and intimidating. Did you do any pre-cleaning before this first brew? One video I have watched on KZread has me believing that I should do a fairly extensive clean with a brew cleaner before diving in.

    Hi, yes you need to clean it before using it for the first time because it can still have manufacturing oils etc. I think with mine i got a free grainfather cleaning agent. But if you didnt get that, you can use something like PBW or Oxi Clean to do it. Make sure to clean the counterflow chiller and recirculating arm by recirculating the cleaning solution with the pump for perhaps 20 minutes.

    Wish I'd watched this before my brew last night. I didn't recirculate through chiller to begin the chilling only at boiling to sanitize. I ended up with slightly warm wort in fermenter and think I might have pitched too hot. Oh well. We will see how it turns out. 👍

    There's a little device that they sell that allows you to plug the grainfather thermometer into measure the wort temp coming out of the hose. You can simply recirculate the wort and adjust your water tap until it hits the correct temp. It's called a wortometer. Hope the current brew turns out good!!

    Hey I bought one during Black Friday. Let’s brew together once the Mexican beer virus is under control. I have a two year old so we’ll have things to discuss 😂 let’s exchange numbers and we can be in touch. Greetings from Carouge
