With a grain bill this size, the key is to add the grain very slowly while stirring to avoid dough balls forming. Because there is more grain, it will also take a bit longer to gelatinise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does my app seem to take a long time to reconnect to the controller (Android only)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Android App runs an independent, background program to increase the reliability of the Bluetooth and WiFi reconnection, and the saved data between the controller and the app is maintained. The result is a slightly slower connection time of up to 30 seconds.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the minimum grain bill I can brew with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum of 8kg (17 lbs) with the standard pipework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would advise against going lower than 8kg (17 lbs) of grain. The overflow pipework only reaches a certain depth and the top plate is designed to fit into the overflow inlet which sits on the overflow pipework. This means the top plate only goes down as far as the overflow pipework does. As a result, with a smaller amount of grain (less than 8kg (17 lbs)) the top plate will sit a bit higher than the grain bed. You will need to add more water until you see the water reach the top plate. Be sure to record this extra water amount and change your calculation accordingly as you will need to reduce your sparge volume by this amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternatively, you can use the micro pipework available which is explicitly designed for small grain bills. It would be best if you used the standard calculations when using this pipework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the boil-off rate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the G70, the boil-off rate is 4L\/hour.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use a winch with my G70 unit?\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the lifting handle is designed to support the use of a winch system to lift the grain basket.

However, as a result, when hot wort is drawn over the element as it goes to the pump it retains heat and boils in the tube leading to the pump. This can cause an air cavity in the pump, resulting in the pump not starting. However, this only occurs while the wort is boiling and the heating element is on. Turning off the element and restarting the pump will get the pump going again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the above reason, when sanitising the counterflow chiller, we recommend you do so at the end of the boil without active heat from the boiler. Temperatures above 85C are considered to sanitise surfaces. Therefore, running the pump for a minute or two, post-boil will achieve the same result as during the boil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Noble Grape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40381505699886,"sku":"210738-V2","price":2599.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1285\/0577\/files\/grainfatherg70_5935af0d-784a-4851-9ad5-45c7ad1ea044.jpg?v=1688998987","url":"https:\/\/torontobrewing.ca\/zh\/products\/grainfather-g70-v2-all-grain-brewing-system","provider":"Toronto Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
