Hope this is of any help. You can see all specs of the pump. Unfortunately there is no brand name visible

Hi McMelloW - part of the model number at the top of your picture is obscured by glare.  Can you take another look and post the full model number please? - it might help to track down the pump.

I got the Graincoat for Christmas. Put it on today. It was very tight. Velcro didn't make it all the way through. However it seems to stay and felt pretty good on it. Would love to know how much of a diff it'll make.  Going to see how it performs for a brew in the next few days

Trying the graincoat out right now, just mashed in.
Was a very tight fit alright.

Darren, the model is MP-10RN. Cannot take a picture without a mirroring white line.

Would love to know what you thought of it as was thinking about it myself, is it designed to be put on once and left on or could you take it off easily enough say when you want to use the wort chiller to help cool down faster?

Or if you could be arsed and a Velcro strip to keep it on

You can take it off BUT you're not supposed to recirc the wort back in. Its supposed to go directly to the FV

Just got a Grainfather and made the first brew - pleased so far. But a question for the experienced brewers: the Grainfather instructions go for a stepped mashing sequence ( no times given ). Is this necessary peculiarly for the Grainfather system or are they being pedantic?

[molc]

Up to yourself. Depending on the style you may want to do it, but there's no need for a lot of styles. I don't think there's anything particular to a grainfather to influence the decision.

Personally I do a mash out, simply as it costs no additional time and makes the sparging a little easier.

[Leann ull]

The idea of stepped mashes comes into its own where grains were historically not fully modified, and benefits say for example if you were brewing a lager with floor malted bohemian pilsner malt.
For somebody starting out all you need to worry about at this stage for ales is your temp at 67 for an hour and mashing out at 75 for additional 10 mins, and more hot water at same temp to sparge with not boiling! 
Get a few of those under your belt and you will be flying and will be doing 35 54 64 67 75!

They're def not saying you need to do it. Its primarly a guide to show you what the button is to be set at (normal or mash). I do a mash out as its dead simple with the GF then a sparge. Works great!!

Thanks, folks !
