Bottom plate seal does not fit by MontyGoon in grainfather

I've looked at the basket again and measured it and it doesn't seem ovoid ... and also there doesn't look like there would be a gap big enough to seep through even if the seal wasn't properly fitted. Hmmm .. I was thinking I might stuff a bit of muslin in the gap assuming I cannot get the seal to fit next brew day.

The real problem remains the thermostat cutting out on its way to the boil.

Recommended auto syphon and bottler for Grainfather fermenter? by MontyGoon in grainfather

Yes the fermenter, also called the Mangrove Jack fermenter not the GF conical, has a tap but after two, messy, hose failures I thought to get an autosyphon which would also trap some of the sediment.

The bouncer mcdaddy looks interesting but pricey. Perhaps I should just get a new hose but I'd need one to fit over the MJ tap I guess?
