Up for sale is my trusty Grainfather Mk1
Owned since new. It has the pump/filter upgrades and neoprene jacket.
Comes with Mangrove Jack Hop spider Grainfather Whirlpool paddle and CFC.
Works perfectly and always after use a cycle of oxi ran thru.
£350 collected from Liverpool
Decided to go down the route of sharing my brews with family reusing the 5 litre mini/party kegs.
Filled one last night and it’s leaked everywhere from the red bung around the tap. Are these serviceable seems a shame to bin it.
Thanks

The manifold just rests on top of the grain bed. I use it for both mashing and sparging and it seems to work well. I know BT have a prototype sparging device in testing but expect this to be serious £££. In my opinion BT should sell upgrade/mod parts at a reduced price as we’ve already bought...
I’ve gone down the road of using the smaller SS Brewtech Mash Recirculation manifold. I use the 3/8 adapter into the top of the mash hat and some 3/8 hose into the manifold. As welly3 has pointed out there’s some excellent alternatives in the Facebook owners group using John guest fittings and pipe.
I think myself and @welly3 have covered the slight flaws in the system. But please don’t let this put you off, it’s a great bit of kit that will last forever and is constantly being improved. I think the B40 and 7 gallon Unitank will be perfect for your needs. Just add a Digiboil 35l to your...
To the OP. If your going to be doing small batches in the B40/80 I highly recommend the adjustable diptube. This will ensure the elements are in contact with wort during recirculation.
Yeah I agree it’s a fantastic system. I just think where a part of the system is known to have niggles, instead of charging the earth for an upgraded part simply supply at cost. The supplied mesh filter is completely useless and you have to purchase the “upgraded” filter which is serious ££ for...
Hi Mate, I’ve got a B80 pro paired with 2x 1/2 BBL Chronicals. My target output is 50 litres which of 40 litres is either for 1x Cask (9 gallon) or split into 2x Corny’s and bottle the rest. It’s a great system but the accessories soon spiral out of control £££. Which if I’m sure I totalled it...
Long shot But does anyone have a spare FTSS pump and chiller coil they would be willing to sell? These have been out of stock since about March in the UK.
Thanks
