Hi Gordon, Are you still using the Ardennes yeast for this recipe? If so is this yeast WLP545 (or similar to)? Cheers!

The only real problem i have had with my braumeister is what many others have had - the hop leaves block the outlet valve when pouring to my fermenter. However overall its not a problem that makes me regret buying the braumeister. I have been looking at many ways to resolve this and was going...

Just wondering if anybody else has encountered the following: I was doing a brew last week and i noticed that through the most of the time I had the unit in operation I would get very slight electric shocks from it any time i touched it. Not exactly the nicest thing you expect from the...

I too have the 50l unit with the shortened malt pipe. I use beersmith and am also trying to nail down the parameters. As I've only done 3 brews to date on it I'm still figuring it out. I haven't quite figured out stuff such as boil off rate etc. I have created 2 profiles: - 50l brew - 20l brew...

Lovin the braumeister so far. 3 brews down to date. The only thing i am thinking of doing is to make some sort of braumeister hop-sock to make the cleanup faster and also prevent the tap from blocking when i tip the unit over to get the last of the wort out. Anyone got any novel ideas for a...

Any updates on which of these recipes is closest to the original? Did anyone try recipe 1 with some coffee or does it need it?

I use the Youngs little bottler. I bored a Youngs fermentation bucket to take the bottler. However I still get a small drip where it has not sealed properly when bottling. The tube from the bottler could probably be made to fit your syphon - however will that not kill the syphon if you are...

I agree - Definitely would speed up cleanup with the braumeister. I brewed a second batch with mine the other day - went much better than the first day. Thought about using hop bags but didn't in the end. However I do like this solution. 1. Was it easy to build? 2. Do you have any negatives...

So I had my first brewday with the braumeister on Christmas eve. It was definitely the most stress free brew day I have had. It removes all the harder work from a brewday but still leaves the enjoyable parts. The only part of the brewday that involved a lot of work is the cleanup. The 50l unit...

So Christmas came early today - My new 50l braumeister arrived. After a lot of thought i finally decided to go with the 50l and the 20l malt pipe accessory as an extra. I hope that I wont need to make an investment like this for a very long time again - So I went with the 50L model in the end...

Thanks for the replies. So it seems that the general consensus is that yes it will work quite well but maybe not just quite as well as with the correct tap! I will be using CO2 to push non-stout beer at the correct CO2 pressure and CO2/Nitrogen mix to push stout at the higher pressure.

Hi, This has come up a few times on other threads but I have not seen any definitive answer. For consistency I would love to have all the same type of taps on my kegerator. If I installed Stout taps and when I wanted to serve non stout types I simply remove the restrictor/creaming plate...

The new mesh filters are now officially available as a 'spare part' on the Speidel website - Speidels Braumeister - Der Shop fr die eigene Bier Brauerei - jetzt selber Bier brauen - Ersatzteile - they are available for 20l and 50l models.

Great Stuff GetaFix! Let us know how the recipe turns out. What yeast did you use? What kind of equipment parameters did you use in Beersmith for your Braumeister?

I think the number of replies you get to this will be indicative of how well people really love their braumeister!! lol ;)
