You just answered my question about stuck sparge and will heed your advice..Thanks sooooo much!!!!!!!

[@chadmartin434]

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

Thanks mate, glad it's useful.

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.

Great brew day cheers

Awesome

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. 👍

[@theculturebrewingchannel5619]

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!!

@@theculturebrewingchannel5619 I'll have a look. Thanks. 👍

@@theculturebrewingchannel5619 Cool! I liked the video! I bought a grainfather and aprox the same equipment you are using. Also the wortometer to see the temperature of outcomming wort.

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 KZbin has me believing that I should do a fairly extensive clean with a brew cleaner before diving in.

[@theculturebrewingchannel5619]

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.

Hey! Where are you situated? I see in the sticker on the bucket we share the same brew shop. In case ur in Geneva could we brew together once before I order my grainfather?? Thx!!

[@theculturebrewingchannel5619]

Hi mate, I am indeed situated in Geneva but with Covid and a pregnant wife we are isolating to be safe. Great to know another brewer in the city!! I bought my grainfather from Brau shop that i'm sure you know about - i am very happy with it!!!

[@paskrell]

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
