The GCA Kit makes accurate temperature control more accessible for brewers. Whether you have a plastic or stainless steel fermenter, bucket or barrel, or even a conical, this kit has everything that you need to connect your fermenter to the Grainfather Glycol Chiller (sold separately).
It comes with a Glycol Chiller Adapter (GCA), heating pad, cooling coil, rubber bung, 4 x rubber bung stoppers, 2 x hose clamps and 2 x cooling connection hoses. The GCA also has wireless capabilities, making it compatible with the FREE Grainfather App, so you can control your fermentation temperature from anywhere.
Simply assemble the cooling coil and bung, and place this inside your fermenter. Attach the hoses to the cooling coil using the hose clamps and then also connect the other end of the hoses to the Glycol Chiller. Attach the heating pad and the temperature probe to the fermenter and then connect both cables to the GCA. Plug the power cord into the GCA, then connect the other end of the cord to the Glycol Chiller. Once set up and connected, the cooling coil and heating pad will regulate cooling and heating as required.
Now everyone can benefit from accurate temperature control and create even better beers!

The Grainfather Thermowell consists of a tube closed at one end which can be fitted to a fermenter and allows for the Grainfather Fermentation Thermometer, or the GCA temperature probe to be inserted.
The Thermowell is fixed to the fermenter so that the closed tube is surrounded by the fermenter contents. The thermometer or temperature probe can then be inserted to can read the temperature accurately, without touching the liquid.
A 14mm hole in the fermenter is required for installation. The Thermowell is also a spare part for the SF70.
Includes:
- Thermowell
- Nut
- O-ring
Replacement pump silicone tubes with fixing rings.
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.

Green Bullet 2024 Harvest
Batch: 24-239
Alpha: 14.38%
Beta: 6.94%
A dual purpose / bittering hop with a spicy dried fruit character and solid finish.
Breeding:
Released from the New Zealand DSIR (now New Zealand's Plant & Food Research) in 1972. Green Bullet is a triploid alpha variety that was bred by open cross pollination of the New Zealand "Smoothcone" variety. The era was one where alpha potential was rapidly being recognised by brewers and the New Zealand alpha varieties were certainly pushing the boundaries.
Selection:
Selection can be confusing with New Zealand bitter types due to aromatic qualities not usually associated with alpha varieties. The Green Bullet, albeit quite high in alpha, also produces high levels of floral oil that complement and balance the piny resinous hop character.
Brewing:
Green Bullet delivers a traditional bittering quality and hop flavour. A flagship within the New Zealand brewing industry and considered a bittering variety for lager it is more often found these days in big ale styles. Green Bullet also carries a solid Styrian spicy characteristic which also finds it at home in a freshly drawn pint of bitter or an Irish style dry stout.
'A brewery workhorse'
Applications:
Used extensively as a utility Brew house workhorse and found in breweries across the World . This "go to" hop is a traditional bittering type that now finds applications throughout the brewery from late additions through the hopback/ whirlpool and dry hopping.

The signature landrace variety of the Hallertau region in Bavaria, Hallertau Mittelfrüh is, at least to some, the epitome of noble hops.
Complex, but mild and approachable. A mixture of sweet, earthy, and herbal with vivid impressions of new-mown hay, sweet spices, and dried flowers. It's many offshoots and daughters show some of these same qualities, but none have the same range and balance as Mittelfrüh.
Although it can be and is used throughout the boil, it is most prized for its fine, elegant aroma and flavour contribution. Mittelfrüh has been one of Europe’s most widely esteemed varieties for centuries and is practically synonymous with continental lagers (particularly Bavarian styles) and many types of German and Belgian ales.
A 1 gallon (3.8 litres) wide-mouth glass jar with a plastic screw top lid. Ideal for steeping, macerating, or ageing spirit.
Could also be used as a small fermenter by making a small hole in the lid and adding a top hat grommet and airlock.
