BREWING WITH OTHERS

One phone connects with one Grainfather. Make sure you are the only one connecting to your Grainfather. If you are brewing with someone who also has a Grainfather, one person must connect first. The other person should keep their control box turned off until the first person has connected successfully, before turning it on to connect themselves.

BLUETOOTH RANGE

The Bluetooth connection will be limited by your surrounding structure (e.g., walls). If you move out of range, your Grainfather will continue on the last updated schedule. The app will automatically reconnect once back in range and sync.

ATTACHING TO GRAINFATHER

1. Position your lugs on the rear of the control box to suit your Grainfather. These are removable.
2. Feed cord through the cradle and sit the control box on the cradle. Fit the lugs at the rear into the holes on the bracket on the Grainfather.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

If you have an Element Variation Switch on your Grainfather, ensure this switch is always set to 'Normal' and leave your control box to control the heating.

1. Attach all plugs and temperature probe connection. Plug the cord from the pump into the pump inlet underneath the control box; do the same for the plug coming from the boiler. The plug exiting the pump is the pump plug, and the plug exiting the boiler base is the heating element plug. NOTE: You may need to lift the unit to insert this, but remember it is best to brew with the Grainfather on the floor due to heavy lifting later on.
