Pulled the trigger a few days ago. Quoting Bluto from the Animal House movie....Oh Boy This Is Going To Be Great.

As well as warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Brewing inside is sooo nice.

Good luck All Yall.:mug:

I made a starter for the last batch and pored off most of the liquid to just pitched the slury. Another good suggestion. Cheers

Thanks psehorne for your suggestions and quick reply. Sounds like I need to get Beersmith. Your use of the filter screen is clever. Also I'm glad your getting full carboys/kegs. I am working hard to get what I have and to get 8 gallons out of a 10 gallon system is a bummer. After all, It's...

I have the 50L Braumeister Fill to the prescribed mark. Sparge to replace the water absorbed by the grain. Boil as stated for the recipe. 60 or 90 min Adding hops (pellet) directly to kettle. And end up with much less than 5 g. in each carboy due to trub. Finishing with about 4 1/4 g...

Cool.... pun intended

I finally have what I think is a great setup for fermentation. I bought one fridge to see if it would work to my satisfaction. It worked like a charm. (DFH 90 Min clone) So I now have a second fridge so I can ferment 10G at a time. Earlier I had bought an ice cream freezer thinking it would...

I just got back from a great Labor day weekend with my BFF (not sure guys have best friends forever, I figure it’s a Paris Hilton kind of thing) But anyway I will change that to “My Best Beer Drinking Buddy”, BBDB. It was his birthday and I brewed the clone for the occasion. I made a few...

Soviet: I guess I should have mentioned that the temp reading came from the braumeister sencor.

Hi Soviet, I am glad you have chimed in. I used the thermal jacket, as well as the lid. It will be interesting to hear what happens with your next overnight mash. If you experience the same rise in temperature, I will turn off the heat as well as the pumps for my next attempt. The recipe states...

mandrakemuffly, Which brand of plate chiller do you have? I bought one and it doesn't work anywhere as well as you describe. Your drop in temperature is impressive. Are you reticulating ice water through it or is that just using tap water? Tap water temps are warm here in Oklahoma especially in...

Thyank you for the photo Degarre. Looks like Macomachine is hot on the trail.

DeGarre, Good to know the top plate doen't need to move. Where can a "rubber edge seal" be found?

Looking forward to hearing how it goes and seeing the photos, Good Luck.

Malomachin said "Speidel needs to "edge" their screens with a metal loop and this would all be a moot point!" I agree, just like a fry pan splatter screen, only fabricated much better, you know... the German way. Thumbs up on your shamless plug by the way, nice setup, with nine taps I think...

Macomachine, So far I am happy with the results. I think having the SS screen pined to the plate helps. I believe the culprit is the fitment between the plate and the malt pipe. As you know the plates must be able to slide up and down easily in the malt pipe, without hanging up, or scratching...

Speaking of screens, when I unpacked the Braumeister, and noticed that the factory had replaced the fabric screens with Stainless steel I was pleased. Then I looked at the edges. Knowing how screens tend to come apart, I thought it would not be good to have a stray piece end up in someone’s...
