CLEANING
It is important to make sure the Wortometer is cleaned thoroughly first using a cleaner
that is suitable for soft metals such as the Grainfather High Performance Cleaner and then
sanitised before use. This will avoid contamination of your wort from previous use or
substances used in the manufacturing process.
NOTE: The Wortometer is made from copper and is covered in a nickel coating. Using
abrasive cleaning utensils, such as a scourer sponge (the rough side of a sponge) may
damage the surface finish of the product.
CAUTION
When in use, hot liquid passing through the Wortometer may cause it to become equally
hot to touch. Please take care when handling.
ASSEMBLY
The Grainfather Wortometer can be used in conjunction with the temperature probe found
on your Grainfather Control Box, to read the temperature of liquids.
Although it’s use can be adapted to your situation, a common use would be to measure the
temperature of your wort at the end of your brew as you chill it using the Grainfather
Counter Flow Wort Chiller.
Method:
1. Ensure the counter flow wort chiller has been setup correctly as per the Grainfather
instructions. Do not turn the tap on connected to the cooling water hose yet.
2. Ensure both the Wortometer and chiller hose are clean.
3. Instead of inserting the chiller’s wort outlet hose back into the Grainfather through the
hole in the centre of the Grainfather lid, connect it to any side of the Wortometer.
4. Connect the free side of the Wortometer to a 8 mm (0.3") inner diameter silicon hose of
at least 1 m (39") length, then insert the other end of this hose into the Grainfather
through the hole in the centre of the Grainfather lid.
5. Remove the temperature probe from the Grainfather boiler body, then insert it all the
way into the WortOmeter thermowell. The short silicon hose section should already be
fitted over the outer part of the thermowell. It should grip onto the probe and keep it
from falling out of the Wortometer during operation.
