-Pump

A 6 Watt, 1,800 RPM magnetic powered pumphas been fitted to recirculate the wort through the grain bed for maximumbrewing efficiencies. This is also used during the cooling stage to pump hotwort through the wort chiller. The pump also makes the cleaning process quickand easy by pumping the cleaning detergent through all the pipe work. Themagnetic drive pump has been selected after rigorous testing of multiple pumpstyles to ensure it meets the tough demands required of continuous brewing. Thepump is concealed by a stainless pump cover, which is easy to pop open, givingyou direct access. A pump filter is fitted inside the Grainfather to preventhops and stray grain from entering the pump or pipework, keeping the wort clearwhile also preventing any blockages.

- Grain Basket

A stainless steel expandable grain basketallows you to brew with anything from 4.5 – 9 kg of grain. The fittedperforated plates and telescopic pipework allow you to easily adjust the sizeof the grain basket to suit the size of grain bill. Fit the Micro Pipework(sold separately) for grain bills below 4.5 kg. When ready for sparging, abasket lifting handle is then inserted into the grain basket to lift it up, outof the wort. A 45 degree turn then allows the grain basket’s feet to rest onthe specially designed support ring to allow the grain basket to drain whileyou can batch sparge over the top. A Sparge Water Heater can be purchasedadditionally to heat your water to the specific temperature required.

- Counter Flow Wort Chiller

A counter flow wort chiller has twoconnection points. One side is connected to the Grainfather, while the other isconnected to the cold tap water. The hot wort is then pumped through copperinner coil while the cold water is pumped through the outer in the oppositedirection, providing instant cooling and heat exchange. The cooled wort canthen be pumped directly into your clean, sterile fermenter. This reduces thechance of contamination as nothing is inserted in the wort, and it is onlypassing through the wort chiller one single time, going straight to the sterilefermenter where the yeast is added. 23 L of wort can be cooled in as littleas 20 minutes. The cooled wort temperature will be cooled to approximately 5degrees above whatever your tap water temperature is.
