Get Er Brewed is excited to offer the new and exciting half-barrel electric all-in-one brewing system. The Grainfather G70 is the largest Grainfather made yet. It boasts a strong and robust build quality. The unit is complete with a wort chiller.
The all-in-one brewing system can hold an impressive 17kg of malt and has the capacity to hold 70 Litres of wort. The new conicals are in development and will be launched later this year. Trials using the system have allowed flexibility with brewing one batch and splitting over 2 or 3 fermenters allowing experimentation with different yeasts and dry hopping.
Like the original Grainfather, its wifi controlled and links seamlessly to the Grainfather community app. Allowing homebrewers the flexibility to create their own recipes or browse thousands of user-submitted ones and build the ingredient recipe using the Get Er Brewed recipe builder. The app allows you to start heating the strike water in advance to start your brew day swiftly.
Perfect for a small test plant for a brewpub, restaurant or microbrewery or homebrewers with a serious addiction to shiny
G70 Features
Two-stage false bottom – the conical base allows a false bottom with an inner collar to sit in the recess of the base. I’ve personally tested this with 600g’s of hops and saw a full flow through the pump. This is very, very effective.
The Grainfather g70 bottom drain is below the false bottom, so there is almost no dead space.
Bespoke 3.2kWh concealed element – We’ve made the absolute most out of the power available to us. The element covers around 80% of the base and is mounted using a thermal paste rather than braised. This moves the heat efficiently upwards, losing very little to where it’s not needed, and as it’s spread in such a wide area, scorching will be very unlikely (also, most solids settle on the false bottom, so won’t touch the elements anyway). Being concealed, it’s super easy to clean too.
Convenient side entry recirculation. Rather than up and over, we’ve built a port into the side of the unit, which means if the pump is accidentally switched on, it will fire the wort just to the other side of the unit, rather than straight up. The recirculation pipe has a push fit, so couldn’t be easier to install or remove.
Ball valve for sampling/draining. This runs in line with the pump, so is particularly helpful when draining the cleaning water. It fires out at a rate of knots and empties the unit in no time.
Sight glass with clean-in-place (CIP) solution. This is really useful when sparging. Rather than relying on water calculations, you can just sparge until you reach pre-boil volume. The cap can be replaced with the included hose barb so you can connect the recirculation pipe and flush the sight glass while cleaning.
And there’s more
Rolled edge filter plates. This means the silicone seals are no longer required. They have a smooth finish, and the plates themselves feel robust and wearing. The shape of the G70 is a little different – it’s much wider and not that much taller than the standard Grainfather, so we’ve seen comparatively quick draining from the basket and less likelihood of stuck sparges as the draining surface area is bigger.
Safety aspects include a locked support ring, heavy-duty, no-slip brackets to on the grain basket and protection from knocking the ball valve open.
Lifting bar with winch lifting hook. Make no mistake. This is a 2 person lift without a winch!
Huge wort chiller. This works an absolute treat. There is a more powerful pump, a very efficient false bottom and a bigger wort chiller, so in my experience, cooling times are about the same as the 30l Grainfather, despite the volume being more than double. Due to the size, this will need to be positioned away from the G70, so longer silicone tubing is attached as standard.
- Heavy duty handles on G70 body. Also, handle on the glass lid.
- Includes dust cover and tap connections.
- 3-year Grainfather warranty.
