Larry, I love your videos and your presentation style. You've helped me learn a lot and find some more efficient ways to brew. Keep it up!

With your counterflow... Just as you chilled the wort for hop stand run it at full speed in recirculation to chill the whole wort at the the same time. Once most of the way there you can then run it out to your fermenter. Will be a much faster process and fix the consistency for hop timing. Nice video, thanks!

Best beer channel! Keep up the great work Larry

Well I knew it was going to be warm, it was hot!

Larry&Brother, Cody again here.. My wife and I just moved into our new home which ironically came with a basement! Our dreams of home brewing began ages ago with our fondness of craft beer. I worked in a brewery for almost year and learned a lot about packaging, transfers, and marketing.. but nothing about making the process of making a brew. Your channel is pretty damn sweet, you literally lay the entire process out plain as day. I hope everyone that searches KZread for "craft home brewing" gets directed straight to your channel. I have learned many useful tips from your videos, the facts are on point and the advice gold. We are going to start with a 1/2 barrel system, brewing once a week, carboys will be our fermentation vessels. Hey, thanks again for your awesome advice. Cheers, and keep on keeping on! P.S. We are purchasing the hydrometer and flask kit from Brewing America, on checkout we are going to mention your name as the source of info!

Hi Larry thankyou for the great videos ,I am in the UK and just starting out again brewing so your videos really help keep up the good work !

Love the hop spider. Getting one today...great tip!

Great video Larry. Keep the videos coming.

Another great brew day video. The lighting you set up in the garage looks fantastic! Garages are a tough place to film because of the low ceilings and lack of natural light. The Grainfather looks like a pretty nice brewing system. Thanks for taking the time to explain what went right and what went wrong...saves a lot of folks extra hassle.

Another great video Larry

Thanks Larry for this video. Though I'm not at the point in my brewing career to invest in a Grainfather, I like seeing what more advanced brewers are doing. I'm doing BIAB now, and ran into the sludge blocking my MegaPot filter, so you have inspired me to buy a hop spider, and while on Amazon, also purchased a dry hop spider for inside my Speidel fermenter. I laughed at your brother doing the "chatty hand" behind you.

Several good points, thank you

I gravity feed fly sparge with a Digiboil kettle. I do all my water prep directly in the Digiboil. Once you have your designated profile just feed mash water into the Grainfather and your ready to go. Its such a simple set up and being able to hold your sparge water to the perfect temp is awesome. Makes brewing a breeze.

Great video brother....really helps a new brewer like me....

thank you for the review

I use the little hop balls and drop them in. same screen as the hop spider. They even have a little hook and you can tie some twine to it.

Just a tip before sparging...Allow the grains to drain then gentle push the top mesh plate down so it sits on top of the grains before the sparge. Has made me want to revisit a hop spider for my grainfather and the massive hop additions for NEIPA style brews.

I use the same hop spider, it seems to work great. One thing I use to help remove the grain basket (that darn thing is heavy) is install a cheap harbor freight winch to lift the basket. This also lets me hover it above the hop spider and do a first wort hop then sparge without having to do a lot of lifting the basket. The grainfather sparge heater is a big time saver as well. Great video, enjoy your videos!

Love your channel Larry. With chilling can you reticulate in the grainfather for a few minutes before transfering to your fermentor? Dropping the wort temp in the kettle might make the whole process a lot quicker with your setup. Cheers Mate

Good video man. The robobrew lid is identical dimensionally to the G.Father but it has handles. Definitely helps when the unit is hot to remove the lid. You could easily modify yours and fit a couple of handles like the robobrew. Cheers...

Great video! Quick question I want to go beyond my basic starter kit, but I’m not sure what I should get that could make brew day easier or the beer better. Should I get a wort chiller or some water filter or something else?

Great video, really glad I came across your channel. I love the idea of the copper handle that lowers the hop spider for your first wort hops as you sparge - brilliant. Good points on the calcs of the GF site and your own. When you said you came close to GF calcs, did you adjust your inputs of your brewhouse setup based on your first brew?

He larry, greetings from the Netherlands! Love your videos👍.. something about the counterflow chiller I was thinking about. In 42:00 you use it too cool down the batch of beer for the last 15 min hop stand.. what if you use the chiller in the same way in the end too cool down the whole batch of beer (recycling in the batch at full flow or something).. and then, when the whole batch is cooled down, pump it into the fermenter.. maybe it will go quicker that way? Do you know what I mean? I don't own a grainfather, I'm thinking about buying one, but I was just thinking. Maybe it works.. or maybe it don't.. gr. Ton.

43:45 "South Heights" South Chicago Heights? I lived there back in the 70's. I don't remember the water there. Moved out of the Heights altogether before I was 5 years old.

TN they are popping up everywhere. In my little town we have 3 micro breweries/restaurants. Very very good eatery some fan tactic brews

A good bit of that bittering will even out during fermentation. Also keep in mind NE IPA style is meant to be less bittering hops and more boil out hops and dry hopping with the use of oats/wheat malts during mash for haziness

Great vid, as always. I hope, one day, I will have the opportunity to buy grainfather :) . Greetings from Serbia

Such a nice video! Could you have used a bag for the first wort hop and then used the hop spider during the boil?

Are there any alternatives to the CF wort chiller with the grainfather? Looks like a faff measuring the temperature and adjusting so often!

Larry, why dont you re-circulate the wort through the wort chiller? And then transfer it to the carboy when its cold enough. Im able to cool my wort from 95C to 20 using only ground water. Pretty cold water though.

where did you get the device to lower the hop spider into the grainfather?

I believe most beer hydrometer's are read from the top of the meniscus. .. as you cannot see through stouts... had mine double checked through a commercial brewery and this was the case ... did they send a user manual with your new hydrometer?

Great video Larry. I see you were brewing in your garage in the winter, looks insulated, any idea the temperature in your garage when brewing in the winter? I ask because I don't see any literature from Grainfather on what their temperature range is for it to boil in. Also I just brewed my first Grainfather brew - Schrarzbier last week, to see how it responds to a multiple mash rest. My biggest concerns were it took well over an hour on an 80 degree day, after sparging to boil. I am considering lowering the boil setpoint to 210. My other concern was I had a lot of grain in my boil which in the end I had to blow the pump and discharge pipe out with compressed air. Grainfather told me that grain crush needs to be 1.27mm-1.4mm which is .05 in. on the small side. Just wondering if you experienced similar issues. Thanks for reading.

HI Larry, great video. I just got myself a grain father, but I'm unsure about 1 thing. There is a red switch on the bottom, does that need to be on to heat? Or what is its purpose. Thanks

How long is a typical brew day using the grain father and delayed heating?

Great video Larry. I'm just a rookie brewer but I have become obsessed with the NEIPA Style. My thought is that the extra bitterness may have come from the hop addition during the boil. I would suggest only doing hop additions within the last 10 minutes of the boil and keep the additions small. Almost all hop additions should be done during whirl pool or dry hopping. Just a guess from my research. I'm still trying to get my NEIPA perfected also. Its an amazing Style. Thanks for all your hard work.

Hi Larry, good video again. Questions: 1) did you experiment the "air bubble" in the pump tube? It means, when you start the pump, it can take 30 sec or 1 minute to see the water flowing or the wort if you are in the mash phase? 2) I got à mash stuck, my grain bill contain to much wheat. Since this, I use rice hulls. Do you put some in your recipe? 3) when I experimented the mash stuck, for sure I tried to understand and I tested the pump for a while. Do you think we can break easily that kind of hardware? I did another brew with it , it work fine but I"m curious if these are made for that kind of work or...stuck.

Hi Larry, super video again. I really like these. And Chad had an interesting one in the end of the vid when he remarked that it could be used in the kitchen. Yes, it absolutely can be used in the kitchen for it is compact and electric and NO it absolutely can't be used in the kitchen as probably my wife will leave me (until the smell completely vanished...) And that brings me to brewing in the garage: How do you deal with the water vapor during boiling. In my garage I have to leave the door open otherwise it starts to rain inside ;-)

Why does it matter if it’s only chilling what’s going through the counterflow, that’s the idea, I do what the instruction say and run it back into the Grainfather until outlet pipe is cool then direct outlet into fermenter, it’s usually about 25c, I’ve always pitched at anything below 28c and then it goes into fermenting fridge at 20c. I’ve used immersion chillers and they take much longer to cool in my experience. The counterflow cools in only a few minutes.

I would imagine doing first wort hopping in the GF wouldn't be like doing it in a normal mash tun, boil kettle set up because the GF keeps heating until it gets to 95oC while you sparge, so the hops are going to be in hotter wort for longer than they would be with a traditional set up

@@BEERNBBQBYLARRY I was thinking that in a traditional set up the wort would only be around 75oC because that's what temperature you're sparging at. It wouldn't get hotter until you start the boil. But in a GF the wort is 95oC because it heats up to that temperature while you are sparging

Hi Larry, if the hop spider isn't draining freely doesn't that mean that the hops aren't properly mixing with the wort? I only use dried leaf hops now and don't get the clogging problems that I was getting with the pellet pulp.

@clivebrooker1

Also, why not just recirculate your counter-flow chiller output back into the boil pot, that way you reduce the temperature of the wort as you would with an immersion chiller to stop any excessive hop bittering and you get to decide in a more controlled fashion when your wort is exactly the right temperature for decanting it into the FV.

FYI... I added extensions to the wort chiller so you don't have to stick it on top of the grainfather, I don't recommend vinyl tubing. I also found a small cart that had draws and wheels that I sit the grainfather on top of so I can just roll it in and out of storage. The hard part if finding one the right size so you can easily raise the the basket And for the people looking at the grainfather its great if you don't have a lot of space. You don't need a giant mash tun, a large pot, and you can brew inside which is nice if its 100F or 10F outside.

I try and get an accurate reading on how much water is boiled off during that process.

Look forward to the tasting video! My take on NE IPA's - use malted (not flaked) oats in decent amount. I've done up to 20%, but I've seen up to 40% in some recipes. Your mileage may vary on that much. Dry hop during fermentation, usually 2-3 days into it, while it's still active. Then dry hop again when it's done, I've had good results in the keg, then pull it after several days. Finally, large whirlpool, small to none during the boil, of hopping. I've seen several different yeasts, but if you haven't used/tried London Ale Yeast, that's the one I've used to pretty decent results. Do everything you can to keep O2 out of the beer. NE IPA's are notorious for fading fast. Drink fresh! By the way, can you post the recipe? The link just takes you to the Grainfather website login screen.

I just brew your zombie dust clone. I'm wanting to keg it this weekend as well. Can't wait to try it.

Carbonation will help a bit on the bitterness, I rarely do more than a half oz of fwh hops for my neipa and I might even bring that down. I use the pump to wp my flame out hops and have never had issues with clogging without the hop spider

I love how fast NEIPA's are, can go grain to glass in two weeks easy. I'm sure it will be delicious lol, I liked your comment about "It is a little bitter, well it is an IPA". I've had some bitter Neipa and some that had little to no bitter, they are both delicious in their own right, really enjoy your channel, keep up the great content.
