Grainfather Mods

I see the upgrade kits for the early adopters are now available.  I have gone with the free upgrade as the new recirculation set up which still uses screw threading is not ideal for me.  One plus was the unexpected inclusion of the new filter for free, saying that, I have not had blockage with the old one.

Has anyone upgraded with quick disconnects or camlocks?  I have been looking but can't seem to find any in 3/8" as only 1/2" seems common.  Any sources?

Yeah I saw that. Quite looking forward to control the wort flow rate. Was doing a pilsner malt brew last weekend and had to keep turning the pump off constantly as wort was building up in the basket. No quick disconnects for me but I would like them....

Ended up grabbing some 1/2 inch quick disconnects and a ball valve from Brewshop and a stainless reducing bush from Blackwoods .  Life much easier now.
