Description

The Grainfather Connect is made from high quality 304 grade stainless steel with an 8 gallon capacity, designed to make up to 6 gallons of beer from one brew.ELECTRIC HEATING ELEMENT The Grainfather is fitted with an electronic controlled heating element so that the correct power can be used depending on what stage of the brewing process you are at. A gentler heat is used at certain stages for accurate temperature control and and to minimize the risk of scorching and after the mash it can also ramp up the heat quickly for when more vigorous heating is required.CONTROL BOX FOR HEAT AND POWER CONTROL: Use the Connect Control Box in conjunction with the Connect App and Grainfather Brewing Community for the ultimate brewing experience. Create your recipes on the Grainfather Brewing Community and then sync these recipes with the Connect app. The control box has Bluetooth connection to your mobile device and Grainfather Connect App so it can be controlled remotely. This allows you to multitask or simply relax while brewing and then be alerted when to return to your next step. PUMP: A 6 Watt, 1,800 RPM magnetic powered pump has been fitted to recirculate the wort through the grain bed for maximum brewing efficiencies. This is also used during the cooling stage to pump hot wort through the wort chiller. The pump makes the cleaning process quick and easy by pumping the cleaning detergent through all the pipe work.GRAIN BASKET: A stainless steel expandable grain basket allows you to brew with anything from 9.9 lb - 20 lb of grain. COUNTER-FLOWWORT CHILLER: A counter-flow wort chiller reduces the chance of contaminationSUPPORT: Our support team is here for any technical enquiries on brewing, how the Grainfather works, and general customer service enquiries.All Grainfathers come with a 24 month warranty.PLEASE NOTE: All Grainfathers contain a yellow packaging strip in the boiler. This should be discarded before you begin brewing.

  • Work like a charm. Perfect for apartment brewing.
Love it! I bought this because I moved into an apartment on the top floor. Can’t use a propane burner on the patio above someone else’s patio for sure. And no hose or any space for a mash tun. Or hot liquor tank for that matter. So for that reason alone this thing is amazing. I can brew right in the kitchen. This little electric brew system is very well made. I’ve had no problems with it at all. No leaks no stuck pump or stopped up filter. Made 5 beers on it now and the improvement in clarity from the recirculating mash is fantastic. I’ll be adding that to my big brew setup if I ever go back for sure. It’s easy to use (aside from the occasional battle with the gaskets when trying to put the mash tun back together every brew day. Sometimes it goes in like a charm sometimes it takes 10-20 tries and beer break.) Heats water efficiently enough for me. Brew day with 2-3 mash steps and room temp water start takes me about 4 hours start to finish which ain’t bad at all. (60 min boil.) the counter flow chiller works great. No leaks, quick and efficient. And comes with the adapter to use your sink faucet which is a huge bonus. Apartment brewer remember? I had to make one last time I was in an apartment. Cleaning is the only hassle. It’s a little difficult to lift this thing into the sink to wash because of the way it’s built and weighted. The bottom is a lot heavier than the walls of the kettle so holding it by the handle to tip into the sink doesn’t work very well. But it’s doable and worth the trouble for the rest of it. I can’t say I’ll never switch back to using a kettle and mash tun setup but if I do it won’t be because of anything my grainfather did. ... show more

  • No Regrets
I had switched to All-Grain years ago and have had a variety of home-made systems, mash tuns, gravity systems.... I made the plunge almost two years ago and the Grainfather offers more precise control over brewing parameters, my efficiency has gone up, the footprint is smaller, the cleanup is easier, and I no longer worry about 3 propane burners firing with heavy water-filled pots 8 feet in the air while my daughters are running around. I also have 2 Grainfather conical fermenters and I love all of them. In addition to awesome design and functionality Grainfather customer service is top notch. My pump conked out and after a few questions and some photos of the pump, Grainfather sent a replacement ASAP, no charge. ... show more

  • Disappointed
I just purchased the grainfather so I could upgrade from using a pot on my wifes stove. I was really excited. As soon as it arrived I unpacked it, read all the instructions and put it together. It assembles pretty easy. I then washed and disinfected it. I downloaded the app and was set to brew. The next day I started mashing in my grains for an Oktoberfest beer. After mashing in I turned it up to boil. Once it hit boiling I added 8lbs of my fermentables. As I was stirring the temperature continued to drop. I soon realized the heating element had quit. I shut everything off and unplugged the unit. After a few minutes I plugged it back in but it still didn't work. I quickly transferred the wort to my old boil pot and finished my brewing. After I had placed the brew in my fermenter I went back to the grainfather and it still will not heat up. I'm totally disappointed and will be returning it. I will continue to make my beer on the stove using grain bags. ... show more

  • Brew Day 1 was a delight!
The system is easy to use. I greatly enjoyed using the Grainfather as well. I have been brewing for nearly 10 years and this unit is awesome ^_^ At least you can make recipes on their website and keep referring to your phone while brewing. I will also recommend watching the YouTube channel "David Heath Homebrew" to see if the Grainfather is for you. There are some tips and tricks to making your first brew day as simple as possible. I can see the integrated pump being a point of failure, even though mine worked perfectly, and I recommend the "Hop Spider with Adjustable Hook 6" x 14" sold here on Amazon. The hook fits perfectly onto your Grainfather and it catches nearly all the trub from the hop pellets clearing your beer and putting less strain on your pump. All and all, I am beyond satisfied with my Grainfather. Caveat: The app is almost complete garbage. ... show more

  • Much Better Than The Competition
First off let me say that I purchased two previous competitor's All-in-one Brew Systems and I had to return them after the second batch. The pumps failed on each. Then I bought this system and it was a world of difference. Everything worked exactly as planned and the Bluetooth connector means I don't have to worry much if I get distracted. So, this is exactly what I wanted. That being said, I did have trouble with it on one brew. That brew was on a really thick heavy Chocolate Milk Oatmeal Stout (Oatmeal in a grain bag). The brew was heavy with the Oatmeal but once you added in the lactic acid, it was especially thick. The pump stopped pumping and the heater kept turning off (due to overheating I am sure) and I kept resetting it. It was towards the end of the boil so I finished the brew in a kettle. The next brew I has was perfect again... So, keep that in mind. The design is great... all except that the heater reset button is on the bottom of the kettle in the middle... Fired the person that decided on that location. ... show more

  • Homebrewing made easy!
I have been homebrewing for the last eight years (mini-mash) with a simple set up on the stove and utilizing an ice bath. My husband convinced me to step up my game and purchase the Grainfather, to achieve consistent temperature regulation and control, easier transition between steps, and I could not be happier. Assembly was incredibly easy and the directions provided well written. Using the app wasn't as intuitive, but once I figured out how to program my recipe for the first batch the rest have been simple. I recommend op-checking the system with water prior to your first brew to work out any logistics problems (i.e., where you are going to pre-position your grain paddle, ingredients, buckets, etc). There are also plenty of YouTube channels (love David Heath) and Facebook groups (North American Grainfather Users Group!!!) to reference or share your experience with. Use those tools before and after your purchase! ... show more
