Got my nice shiny Grainfather. I am impressed! Lots of really good engineering in there. The nice thing is, I'm not getting sticky wort all over my floor anymore from my previous equipment.:thumb:
Loving the chiller and my brew days have sped up considerably.
Hubby helped me set it up because he was quite pulled in by the shiny and I think I may make a brewer out of him yet. Yay.:twisted:
Anyways, the perforated plate, that is not nice engineering. The silicone seal, that's a pain in the backside. I've tried searching around here and the internet, and from what I gather, the grain basket and the seal need to be wet. But it takes a good 15 minutes to get it to not slip off. Been sliding it down at an angle and trying to line up right at the bottom and you think you're getting there and boom, it comes off. Maybe it's one of those things that gets better with practise? I hope so, but would welcome any other tips?
Thanks!
