Concerning the running demo: the machine was not running a brewing cycle. They've never done that at a show. I would guess for pure logistical reasons and because you'd probably need to fullfill certain health and safety requirements at such a show. On that note - not one machine there was...

Hi guys, I attended the Braubeviale in Nuremberg on Wednesday. Gabriella was there and very eager to answer any questions. I tasted one of their ales (they had three beers in party kegs) which was alright. Sadly it wasn't cooled and I 'm not a big fan of ales at room temperature. Still, the...

Yes, I also received that email. Also there will be a series of videos which they will consecutively release over the next few weeks. They might even upload the first one this week. They had an outtake from the shoot on Facebook, showing what seemed to be the beginning of a brewday.

I don't have an answer but during the brew day I noticed the following: when the machine initially boots, the fan comes on quite strong for a few seconds, like it used to do on older laptops during the system test at startup. I can't remember if the fans quietend down, but they were definitely...

As someone who hasn't ever brewed with BIAB: if I were to regularly use PBW to rinse the chiller - would that not avoid the gunk building up over time? I used PBW a few times now and it is quite effective at getting rid of some of the stains and hop-remnants stuck to the vessels I use. Back...

Well I remember the representative telling me that, similar to the Braumeister, the grain should not be crushed all too fine. It makes sense, because if you have too much of the "floury" substance, it would eventually clog the plumbing I would imagine.

I've relayed the questions & suggestions to the representative and pointed him towards the forum. I offered to be the go-between if there is a language barrier - this means that infos might not always be provided in a timely manner ;-)

The wort is recirculated in a figure of eight. So there's a hole in the middle on the bottom of the right chamber (where the grains are), and a hole on the left side half way up. The wort is pumped down through the middle hole and then psuhed back through the upper hole, flowing straight through...

I'm sure they are still refining the brew process and will continue to do so via SW updates once the unit is selling so I can understand why the representative said that 65% efficiency is easy to achieve - I'm sure they're achieved higher efficiencies too at some point. There was no mention of...

Their brewing efficiency has been at least 65% at the moment, a number that I would have expected.

well spottet. That was down to user error - one participant wanted to take the grains home to make bread. And she opened the bag over the machine - bad idea. We spent a while cleaning everything, then ran the cleaning cycle which ran very well. The pumps did not get clogged. However I'm sure...

yup you solved it yourself ;-) I was told at the very beginning of the project, the guys were still thinking of a solution where you would bow air over a heat exchanger, hence you didn't have that many ins and outs at the back of the machine in the campaign videos. Now it's a plate chiller...

here are the videos: https://youtu.be/HtVONuMGvwU https://youtu.be/YCEv6jQQQFw https://youtu.be/k78ZsNejVQg https://youtu.be/RbidUrWgUKc ignore our cheering ;-) It was exciting to see the machine in action for the first time and one more pic of the 4th hop addition: note: the rough edges of...

Ok, so here goes. - Mind you this is one of the first working machines from early on so visually it may differ from the final product. I have been "burnt" by kickstarter & indiegogo campaigns in the past. The product wouldn't arrive or if it did it was no where near as amazing as had once been...

I'm new here and no I didn't register to promote Brewie ;-) I've been reading along for a good year, brewing from the great database of recipes on here. I'm more active in the German forums. Anyway, I will attend the brewday this Saturday. I've also been in frequent contact with the company...
