Grainfather

[darren996]

Grainfather users, do you get any flour back into the kettle after mash in ? i.e. any flour seep through the bottom filter plate and into the wort.

Thanks

I've found it sitting on top of grain bed after sparging alright.


I have been wondering if the flour has been clogging my group buy hop spider, anybody else find this?
When cleaning up after brewing the small holes appear to be blocked by flour - not good if your using a lot of hops!! When you lift the spider the liquid is only trickling out of it.

Anyone else have this issue?

No flour for me. The clarity on the wort is excellent!

Don't have a grainfather, but I find my hop spider drains very slowly after a boil - most of the holes get fairly blocked with protein break and goop. Doesn't seem t effect the hoppiness of my beers though, so doesn't bother me.

Would like to give it a caustic wash or something every few batches to get all the crud off though - it's changing a funny colour over time.

High pressure hose gets rid of any crap out of mine

I got sick of cleaning the spider so just stopped using one - with pellets. Works out fine with the new GF filter and a whirlpool.

Hey folks,

I've attached the BrewDog.xml file for importing into the GrainFather connect app (thanks @brazune)

It has all the recipes that were released by Brewdog last year.

The forum won't let me upload xml files so you will have to rename it from txt to xml

When I imported that it just shows hoppy Christmas in my imported files.

You're right, it's a bug in the android app I think. I imported it into the iPhone app and it worked a treat.

[armedcor]

ah shite. Ok cheers!

How do I actually do that?

Do what Roo? Import it into the iPhone app? You need to save it to Dropbox or similar, then open the file on the iPhone then select export then choose the GrainFather connect app and it should import all the recipes

I get as far as export and the option for grainfather app doesn't appear

It's there not an "open with" option? Click that and choose grainfather

Not on my phone there isn't. I hate technology....either that or I don't understand it.
