Hi Gary, my sincere apologies for not replying sooner! i just noticed your post. Our systems are quite similar but I decided to go with a Concentric Hydra immersion chiller from JaDeD instead of a plate chiller. I also use brewvision but didn’t have a problem with he volume. I’m usually...

I usually use my blichman (240V) Brew Easy Classic (K-RIMS not BIAB) system to make 10 gallon batches of beer. It’s a great fit for me and I like it alot. But, I would like to try to make 5 gallon batches from time to time, I know the Spike condensing lid is compatible with the Blichmann 20...

Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of my completed project to share at the moment but I made a wand to attach to my brew pump hose to transfer water from my RO water tank to my boil kettle. Although, from the info you provided your situation may be a bit different but I think it would work...

I do 10 gallon batches with the Blickmann 2 kettle Brew Easy Classic k rims system. I have a cf10 fermenter. One of the best reasons for the conical, for me, is the CIP ball. I tried other fermenters over the years and this is, hands down for me the best option available today.

Hi, Im currently in German with my wife is German and also a home brewer. I asked her your question and she does not know the word that include König“ you are looking for. In German brewing terminology yeast is „ Hefe“ (it’s a noun so it’s always capitalized). Skimming off the top is...

Great! Thank you for the tip to avoid a stick mash! Do you use the washer recommended by Blichmann Many thanks. Wonderful advice and overview.

The thing that sold me on the Blichmann K-RIMS system was the gravity flow control using a washer with specific diameter hole from the mash kettle to the boil kettle and an AutoSparge to control the return up to the mash kettle. I’m a bit of a fanatic about control and repeatability when I...

That was a great video suggestion. There’s a lot of good info to get me started. Thanks a million,

Hi, I wrote to customer support asking for help with a couple system dimensions I needed to buy a wort chiller. These were the inside diameter of a 240V boil coil in a 20 kettle and the height of the boil coil measured from the bottom of the kettle. I (wrongly) assumed this could be provided...

Thanks! I think I worked with Doug as I tweeked my system before I bought it. He was terrific. I’ll be in touch soon with a couple questions.

I figured that would probably be the secret. I was thinking about not using the Blichmann linear flow valve and using a ball valve to throttle the pump. I thought referencing the angle would help me dial the flow rate better. Any thoughts?

Thank you for your insights. I’m really looking forward to giving it a go. I’ll probably play around with just some water in the tanks to get a feel for the recirculating before I brew my first beer.

Hi, I’m a new member and just getting used to the forum…. I am recently retired. I just got my new 10 gallon electric Blichmann BrewEasy Classic (2 kettles, kettle rims not the BIAB single kettle compact system). Is there anyone out there that has some experience/lessons learned using this? I...
