The Grainfather counterflow chiller is used after boiling the wort to cool it down fermentation temperature. The counterflow does this by acting as a heat exchange between the wort and water from your tap as you transfer the wort from your boil kettle to your fermenter. Because this is a one-step process of transferring and cooling, it is more efficient and more sanitary than immersion chillers, and the curved design allows for similar performance to plate chillers without the crevasses that can make cleaning painful.

The Electric Grain Mill is motorised, compact and easy to use at home. It’s equipped with large, fluted rollers that crack the outer husk of the grain longitudinally, providing optimal surface area for your mash and a better filter bed for your sparge.

The removable grain hopper holds up to 1kg of grain at a time and with 10 easily adjustable gap settings, ranging from 0.8mm to 2mm, this mill has been engineered to crush a variety of grains. Crush different base malts and specialty grains, and even change the rate that your grain is crushed with the variable speed dial.

It’s easy to mount onto a workbench or bucket, but it works best with the Grain Mill Bamboo Mounting Board. Plus, the mill is easy to assemble thanks to its built-in motor and compact design. Simply attach the grain hopper. Set your desired gap setting by pulling the spring-loaded pin and rotating the dial. Add grain to the hopper and flick the switch to begin crushing.

For more information on assembling and using the Electric Grain Mill, watch our YouTube video here.

Now you can create fresher batches of beer by bulk buying your own grain and crushing it at home, just before you brew.

Control your fermentation temperature accurately, every time!

Temperature control is one of the most crucial elements for producing a good quality beer. It needs to be regulated and stable throughout the whole fermentation process to ensure the yeast doesn't get stressed and ferments correctly to get the right flavour profile. 
With the ability to individually power and control the temperature of up to four Grainfather Conical Fermenters, each with their own fermenting schedules, the Grainfather Glycol Chiller is the perfect addition to ensure superior fermenting results.

Design:
With a sleek and compact design, that still accommodates our full array of features, the Glycol Chiller maintains the Grainfather’s principle of providing quality home brewing equipment, that deliver’s craft brewery like results, with a small footprint. 
With the addition of the Glycol Chiller, your system is operating at the ultimate level and you are even able to cold crash and lager down to 4-6ºC (39-43°F). The Glycol Chiller connects to a hidden cooling sleeve, located in between the two stainless steel walls of the Conical Fermenter. Your desired temperature is dialed into the digital temperature controller on the Conical Fermenter, the liquid then travels through this sleeve, cooling the stainless steel which in turn cools the beer in the fermenter. The cooling sleeve never comes into contact with the beer, is completely concealed and does not need cleaning or sanitising - a true innovation for a fermenter on this scale.

Features:

• Allows you to cold crash 23 L (6 US Gal) of wort to as low as 4-6ºC (39-43°F). Minimum temperature will vary based on external factors such as ambient room temperature, the number of fermenters connected and other environmental conditions.
• Cools and powers up to 4 Conical Fermenters at different temperatures and fermenting schedules.
• Includes propylene glycol to get you efficient cooling for your fermenter right away.

Ferment like never before! The Grainfather GF30 gives the brewer professional fermentation control, just like the commercial breweries. Fermentation is arguably the most important part of producing a good quality beer. A good fermentation environment starts with a clean and sterile fermenter, has a consistent controlled temperature base and exposure to oxygen is minimised. The Grainfather Conical Fermenter provides you with a modular system for all of this and more!

FEATURES:

Basic Cooling Pump Kit

The Cooling Pump Kit allows users of the Grainfather Conical Fermenter to control the fermentation temperature with cold water by pumping it through the double walled insulated interior.

Wireless Connectivity

The Conical Fermenter Pro comes with a built-in controller with wireless connectivity and digital display. This means you can connect the controller to the internet and the Grainfather App and track fermentation with automatic alerts and notifications from wherever have an internet connection. 

Double Walled

A stainless steel double walled skin is filled with a thick layer of polyurethane foam for insulation. This is what keeps the wort at a constant stable temperature with minimal influence from any external environmental temperature changes, providing insulation for your fermentation that a standard jacket cannot achieve.

Integrated Gentle Heating

In the cavity of the fermenter between the outer body and cone sits a 30 Watt, 12V heating element. Unlike standard heating elements/sources that directly heat the liquid, this heat source is designed to heat the environment in between the walls of the fermenter, which in turn heats the liquid. It is similar to controlling the temperature in a temperature controlled room. The fermenter acts as an artificial environment which can be heated, meaning the temperature is raised in an even and controlled manner which is much better for the yeast.

Integrated Cooling Sleeve

In between the two stainless steel walls sits a cooling sleeve (also made of stainless steel). This cooling sleeve is welded onto the inner wall of the fermenter and can be hooked up to the additionally purchased Glycol Chiller. Temperature is dialed into the Temperature Controller and as the cooling liquid travels through this sleeve, it cools the stainless steel which in turn evenly cools the beer in the fermenter. The cooling sleeve never comes into contact with the beer, it is completely concealed, built into the fermenter and never needs cleaning or sanitising - a true innovation for a fermenter of this scale.

Easy Access to the Interior for Hassle Free Cleaning

The Grainfather Conical Fermenter has a smooth interior with no additions such as cooling coils or additional sampling valves meaning it is easy to clean and minimises the risk of infection.

Golden Angle Conical

The conical shape of the fermenter is typical for professional breweries. Our conical has been designed with the 'Golden Angle' of 60º. This is the optimum angle for yeast and sediment to drop down to the bottom of the cone without getting stuck to the sides, allowing you to transfer from above the sediment line, resulting in clearer beer. The conical shape also allows for better mixing during fermentation due to the path of convention currents that it enables to occur.

Dual Valve Tap

Make the yeast dumping, transferring and sampling process more professional with this innovative all in one valve. Sampling and transferring is done through an inlet above the sediment line, allowing for clear, sediment free beer. Easily collect your yeast from below the sediment line with the same unique valve for re-cultivating and pitching. The innovative design of the valve allows for this dual functionality and less cleaning for you.

Get professional results at home with the ultimate fermentation package! The GF30 Advanced Cooling Setup includes the GF30 Conical Fermenter and the GC4 Glycol Chiller. This set up gives you a superior fermentation environment with optimum temperature control, allowing you to achieve expert brewing results with every beer and the flexibility to control/monitor fermentation from anywhere thanks to built-in wireless control. You’ll even be able to cold crash and lager down to 4-6°C (39-43°F).

The Grainfather GF30 Conical Fermenter Coat is the perfect fitment for those in a climate that experiences high condensation rates when using either using the Grainfather GC4/GC2 Glycol Chiller or Cooling Pump Kit to lower the fermenter’s temperature.

Features:

• Made from high quality 5mm thick SBR foam.
• Consists of two independent sections for both the main body and the fermenter cone for total coverage.

Easily attach to the Grainfather Conical Fermenter, for a clean and simple way to transfer your beer without the need to lift the fermenter to perform a gravity fed transfer. This also ensures less chance of oxygen entering the beer during transfer.

All you need is a C02 bottle and a regulator to attach to the Pressure Transfer and you can transfer your beer into a keg or bottles through the Conical Fermenter Dual Valve Tap or via the top of the fermenter lid using the Beer Racking Pipe.

NOTE: Batteries are not included for the Pressure Gauge. 2 x AAA batteries are needed.

This High Performance Cleaner is specially formulated to be used with the Grainfather. It removes hard to clean proteins from your Grainfather without the need for tedious scrubbing. Perfect for cleaning hard to reach places such as the counter flow wort chiller, pipes and pumps.

This is suitable for soft (copper) and hard (stainless steel) metals which not many other cleaners do. It is important you use this to clean your Grainfather as other cleaners may, over time, damage your system.

Instructions

• Add 2 Tbsp of cleaner to 15 L of water at 60°C to your Grainfather.
• Attach the counter flow wort chiller and recirculate the cleaner for 15 minutes.
• Remove the counter flow wort chiller and attach the recirculation pipe and recirculate for another 5 minutes.
• Rinse all surfaces that came in contact with the cleaner thoroughly with water.
• Gently scrub the inside of the boiler with a soft bristle brush to remove left over stains.
• Rinse and drain.

The Sparge Water Heater is a temperature controlled urn that allows you to heat up to 18 L of water making the brewing process even easier by having the right amount of sparge water heated to the right temperature ready at the time of sparge.

Whirlpooling and aerating is good practice before you pump the wort out of your brewing system. It infuses oxygen which promotes enhanced yeast activity and places the hops and protein back into suspension before the filtering process.

The Grainfather Whirlpool and Aeration Brewing Paddle provides an excellent whirlpool by allowing the perfect amount of liquids and solids to pass through its large blades. Just simply attach to a standard electric power drill via its ‘chuck bit’ styled end for relaxed aeration of your wort.

Use in conjunction with the Grainfather Connect Control Box thermometer, for accurate control of your wort transfer temperature through the Grainfather Counter Flow Chiller. Avoid long lag time and off flavours by using the Grainfather Wortometer. Adjust your wort and water flow rates from the Grainfather Counter Flow Chiller by dialling in the exact wort temperature your specific yeast requires.  Requires a 8 mm inner diameter silicon hose.
