8. After your phone has successfully connected
to the controller (Android and iOS), select your
wireless network from the list and enter in your
network password and then tap ‘connect’. Once
completed, your Grainfather Conical Fermenter
Pro is connected to the internet.
• Fill your fermenter by syphon or a counter
flow wort chiller if using a Grainfather
brewing system. Ensure that the volume is
at least 15L.
• Secure the lid. Ensure that the rubber bung
and airlock are still tightly in place.
• Plug the fermenter into a power socket
and turn on (heating only). For cooling
capabilities, purchase either the Grainfather
Glycol Chiller or Cooling Pump Kit. Please
refer to the full instructions for more
information on this.
• You can now use the controller manually or
via the connection on the Grainfather App
on your mobile device. By using the app
and your mobile device, you can monitor
your fermentation remotely with automatic
alerts and notifications.
• We recommend dumping dead yeast and dry
hops every 2-3 days during fermentation.
This prevents the yeast and hops from
clogging the valve.
• Throughout fermentation, the beer valve
can be used to collect samples and test the
gravity of the beer. To do this, open the
ball valve and collect the beer using an
appropriate vessel.
• As well collecting samples, the valve can
also be used to transfer the beer after
fermentation. Simply connect a hose (10
mm (0.4”) inner diameter) to the opening
and open the ball valve.
