I have a Grainfather G40 and a Grainfather conical pro fermenter with the glycol chiller as my system and after lots of research I have concluded that Grainfather has the simplest solutions to home brewing that is available. The app is an ongoing project as most apps are in an ever changing world and it gave me fits on the original connection process but once connected it seems extremely reliable. I think most of my problems were related to password issues with my Wi-Fi because I’m a security conscious person. The app itself has more advanced features than l am capable of using at this time to its fullest extent but looking forward to gaining more experience and knowledge.
I think it’s awesome

I figured it’s about time to do a review since I bought my Grainfather G30 in 2015. I have upgraded it to match the version 3 currently on the market and I believe it is the best product on the market and at a great price point for what it does. Yes you can get cheaper systems out there for about half the price but I don’t believe any of those cheaper systems can do what my Grainfather does. And now that I can connect to the app with my recipe programmed , well I’m just all smiles when I’m brewing. Sometimes I’ll brew a 5.5 gallon batch of all grain and sometimes I’ll do a 15 gallon batch by using LME with specialty grains. This G30 is awesome, to do the 15 gallons I’ll have 7.5 gallons in the Grainfather that I transfer to my fermenters then top them off for a total of 15 gallons and the beer comes out fantastic. When I wear this one out I’ll definitely be buying another Grainfather, maybe a G40 but I’m very happy with my G30.
Give ability to track Gravity
4 out of 5!
I love the app. Using Grainfather Gcast to connect my Tilts made all the difference in app use ability. The only downside is the app displays current gravity, but does not track gravity with temperature. This can be found when looking at the tilt, but it would be very nice to see it overlay in graph when selecting the conical fermenter.
Issues with recipe management!

Primarily the biggest problem with this app is how poorly it handles the simple task of starting a brew session and accurately logging brew sessions! The app is a kludge of really great looking tools which I am able to use and like individually. But the app falls short in the area of recipe selection when starting a new brew session. It is difficult to select your recipe! It is difficult start the actual brew session! Brew session versions get mysteriously generated and stored out! In general the app has been put together piecemeal and has lost obvious intuitive control of sessions causing you to restart the session. Then you end up with stored versions of the same recipe saved without a clue as to why! You need to really clean up the session control aspect of the app! This is killing your product!
- Fixed an issue where the app could freeze when navigating back from brew session search results
- Fixed the search bar clear button not working on the brew sessions screen
- Fixed alert sounds not playing correctly during brew sessions
- Fixed an issue where brew session notes could fail to save
- Fixed iOS 26.4 chart rendering issue
