I broke one of the seals off my grain father. So i made this to take out the top grain basket filter lid thing. I call it a grainhat. Its made out of titanium. Why wouldnt it be? It works a treat when your mashing!! Oh i love over engineering!!!

HI mate, do you have the dimensions please, I will get one made up if I can get those. Alternatively is this something you can supply?

I can adjust the height of my recirc arm and use it for sparging. I have various lengths of stainless steel tubing and use push-fit connectors. The Coobra's pump can draw from the sparge heater.
