    For all of you that thought the Brewie was a little pricey, take a look at this disaster of a thing that says it will have beer ready in 4 days. https://lcpshop.net/product/beer-machine-automatic-brewing-device/

    Lol.... how "funny" tasting was the beer that was made with the garden hose? I can't imagine drinking a beer that tastes like the garden hose water i remember from my childhood. And of course today we know that garden hoses leach all kinds of nasties into the water.

    Yes.... they all have that sheet of silicone. You need to go back and reread the fan installation instructions. You have to cut holes in the sheet and insulation to move the air over the terminals and remove the heat. Blow the air onto the ceramic blocks and the hot air will exit in the center...

    I don't remember..... I think it was by searching for "Budapest brewie" or something like that or the other search was for the 2020 grant they received from the European union back a few years ago. It is listed on the website at the bottom of the homepage...... and of course it is down right now...

    apparently nothing new at brewie.... I have been in the process of bringing an art gallery into the 20th century..... hopefully I can bring it into the 21st century but that is a lot to ask of a guy that was born in 1939 and still writes paper receipts and does the book work in a little black book.

    https://www.european-business.com/interviews/brewie/a-new-gateway-to-home-brewing Sorry I have not contributed in a while. I was considering a brew this weekend so I thought I would see what is new around here

    Be sure that check the mash tun also. If there is any discoloration you will want to explore repair options. In my opinion installing the fans is the way to go.

    You can easily tell if you need to replace them by cutting off the ends and stripping bact the cover, if the copper wire is any color other than a bright copper color (will start off by turning a rose/copper color) replace them. This is also the first of the new wiring I have seen burnt. Goes...

    There is a fuse but I think it no longer boots if blown. What you are looking for is discoloration of the yellow shown ..... may be black or brown now. If it is white you have a machine with the upgraded wires but it should (in my opinion) have the fan mod done to it. Plus 1 on this. Double...

    Speaking as someone that is not allowed (unable) to brew without an assistant and is unable to lift a pot of wort let alone a full bag of wet grain the Brewie is by far the best way to get the job done without some help for me. Granted it has had issues and I have figured them all out and with...

    Morebeer has Brewie listed on their site again but I searched for pads and bags and they didn't come up.

    I had thought about using a heatsink to remove the heat from ceramic block where the connections are and it is a very good idea but it won't solve the problem if the heat is not removed from the area. This is where the fans come in. Putting the fans in the sides of the case will not solve the...

    Hate to burst a bubble here ..... drinking bottles are made from pet, they are formed in a blow mold using hot air, there are 2 types one has a transition phase of 67° and the other 81° (152° and 177°) well below the boiling point of water so you will have a tough time being able the get one...

    I looked just before posting the comment and tried to see if I could order bags. The website says they don't ship to my country (US). So while not a definitive answer as to whether or not they are still alive or not, it didn't say they couldn't ship anywhere (as in sorry we are not shipping...

    If you are in the EU you can order them from Brewie if you are in the US you may be out of luck for now.... Or you can try this from more beer https://www.morebeer.com/products/drawstring-mesh-bag-18-20.html Since it is a drawstring instead of a zipper I suggest going bigger than the...
