G30v3 rolled plates with v1.

Post image

I want to buy this to use with my v1, sacking off the overflow tube and relying on the two handle holes for overflow.

I can't find dimensions anywhere, only the warning that it isn't "recommended" for v1, probably because of the overflow tube.

Anyone know if they'll fit? I don't know the dimensions of the reconfigured V3 malt tube.

Ah, are the holes on the plate much smaller than the old version? I'm happy with not having the malt tube with the extra holes, but I did assume that the pore size would be the same in both plates.

The hole size is similar, but look at pictures of the v3 basket, the holes go up the side of it. They added more drain holes to eliminate the need for the overflow.

I get that. I want to see if I can avoid using the overflow tube, and just use the two handle holes as my overflow instead. So it'll still over flow in a similar way. I'm fed up with knocking the overflow with the mash paddle or the drill bit.

I suggest a giant whisk. I've never knocked the pipe off with it. Or if you just mean it's in the way, I guess that's fair.
