30l pre-boil volume in GF30.

Post by Doreblade » Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:31 am

Got a quick query and not at home right now to physically check my GF30.

Is a preboil volume of 30l going to be a problem for the GF?

Yep I know its called a GF30 for good reasons but I've only done one brew so far for a 23l batch and it was a good vigorous boil for the 23l batch - don't want things to be close to boiling over for a slightly bigger batch....

If I was at home I could check. I know its a simple question with prob an obvious answer but I reckon there's plenty of you who have the immediate experience .

I often have around 30 litres pre-boil in mine. Just be ready to spray or pat down the hot break or use a little anti-foam.

I have always done 25 litre brews in my GF which needs 30 litres pre boil , which it handles with no problems or issues .

Had 30 litres yesterday as above, no problem just watched carefully as it came to the boil; especially as I had 60gm of (leaf) first wort hops already added, that made a potential boil over slightly more likely as they form a floating raft at that point
