Grainfather GF30 Advanced Cooling Addition

This item is not held in stock and is ordered in on request. Please contact to check availability and shipping cost. 

Ferment like never before! The Grainfather GF30 gives brewers 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, which has a consistent controlled temperature base and minimises exposure to oxygen. The Grainfather Conical Fermenter provides you with a modular system for all of this and more!

The Grainfather Conical Fermenter allows you to dump yeast, take samples and transfer your wort via our innovative dual function valve design. Partner it with the Glycol Chiller and you'll have full control over the heating and cooling of your unit.

CONICAL FERMENTER FEATURES:

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.

GLYCOL CHILLER 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 schedules.
  • Includes bonus Conical Fermenter Coat and propylene glycol, providing you with everything that you need for efficient cooling of your fermenter.

Note: The instructions for the Glycol Chiller will be attached to the outside of the shipping box. It is important that you retain these, do not throw them away and read them carefully before use to ensure no damage occurs to the unit. If for any reason, these are not included with your purchase, we highly recommend downloading a new copy via the instructions tab on this page and reading them carefully.
