Grainfather Connect

[Will_D]

I have just receieved the new controller and I am impressed. The build quality and the look and feel of the front pannel/buttons and screen are execllent.

Just powering up and playing with the menus shows the user interface is well thought out.

Then I try the Blue tooth!

Load up the app and run it - I just get a simple screen of ACtive and Completed sessions.

I think I need the connect App but where is it?

Found a video by David Heath:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSy8ZZ0gwUY

and on his tablet there are two apps GF (brownn - is what I have), The Blue GF is called GF connect and that is the one to connect to the GF.

Also the paper manual says "see instructional video for detailed instructions" Where are the GF videos.

Also is there a GF forum (other than Facebook and Twitter)?

Ahhh Haaa!

This might explain it:

From the GF Facepage (Brewers Coop 11th November):

This controller will fit existing Grainfathers and is to be used in conjunction with the Connect App (currently available on iOS, and soon to be available on Android).

or is a different one needed

Ah

....and soon to be available on Android).

I'm really having to resist the urge to get one of these for summer brewing out in the back garden Love my setup, but it's not exactly portable...

I asked grainfather and they said they are running beta testing on the Android app with hopes to have it released before Christmas.

Loads of old hands on Jim's bought BM.... and sold them again
You don't need a dishwasher, washing and drying by hand is therapeutic, two more fermentation fridges controlled by 1 brewpi or smartpid however

washing 3 vessels and the rest is more therapy than I could handle. I like the 5 minute Grainfather clean up

Hoping Santa will bring me one ...

That said, I actually quite like cleaning my beer bottles... There's something wrong with me.
