Holy S#@%! This impressive endeavor is a FAR cry from the garage I saw last! Various bits of brewery equipment and kegs stacked up all over the place, your Keg Auto-Wash in the early stages of construction, your kegerator with your APA and Triple on tap, etc etc. Fine work! Marc, you may...

Please include me. Thanks again for the generosity! :mug:

Count me in, thanks for the generosity!

Sorry to hear that. I had a similar experience with my first 50L. The box was beat to bejeezus when it showed up so I did unpack it in front of the FedEx driver. Everything appeared OK, there were a few minor appearing dents I assumed were cosmetic. I pointed them out to the driver and accepted...

Something I'd be concerned about industrial/household grade chemicals are potential impurities from the entire production chain...metals, toxins, volatiles and so forth related to the equipment the acid is produced with, the quality of the dilution substrate, and the various containers it is...

a couple of thoughts... I wonder if you might need to cut a custom length pipe/spacer to keep the top mash screen/sieve below the level of the holes to keep the grain escaping when the pressure inevitably pushes the mash up, thereby raising the screens as well. I also wonder if slits cut into...

I've used the hood on my 50L for every brew to date and have only had the threat of boil over problems with higher gravity recipes using the full capacity of the BM. Pretty satisfied with how it works out. I followed the lead of others here on the forums and use a high draw duct fan and a length...

agreed...in my case I also mixed about a 1/4 lb into the cereal mash right out of the rice cooker when it was still easy to mess with. The minute it cools it turns into a big sticky blob, which fortunately is water soluble. I also scattered a layer on the very top of the mash mostly because...

agreed. tho I have to admit the "proper" part isn't as leakproof as I'd have anticipated or expected. Tho I have run the BM50L at capacity many times once I sorted the issue out and have had no problems since. on an off note, has anyone tried brewing with adjuncts in the BM? I ran a...

Hilarious, I was planning on buying exactly the same part you did but then got hung up on the threading after a master steamfitter relative of mine gave me the "you're going to do what!?" look when I told him about it. Ended up with the 60 dollar Adaptall part! :p

thanks for sharing the experience Redstag! I may try this myself soon and will report the results here. regarding hops and trub in the BM, I've been considering experimenting with a hop rocket/randallizer to continuously pump wort thru hops and back into the BM during the boil, pausing to add...

thanks Redstag! looking forward to it! :mug:

would love to see the recipe and to learn how it goes for you!

Thanks! I remember seeing that now! Did you notice a difference in wort flow with the newer pump? interesting, both of the BM50Ls I have had in my possession since the beginning of the year have had the "old" black pumps...perhaps a question of availability? Also, when i disassembled all of...

any chance to get a pic of the replacement pump? i'd like to see if it's the same as the pumps on my month old BM50. thanks in advance! I went with morebeer4u for sales tax reasons, very happy with Thorstens service overall.

According to Adapt All, the manufacturer of this particular part, Fastenal carries their line and this will probably require a special order. They fellow I spoke with at Adapt All also told me they have less than 6 in stock in the factory warehouse. One less, since I ordered it yesterday...

I'm interested in this as well. I found this link which appears to detail the sizes available in the various stainless part numbers, the second two must indicate the sizes http://www.adaptall.com/products/stainless/ss9007.html

Braumeister Experience so far... I posted a while back asking for the "best" source of the braumeister in the US. Given the number of positive forum posts I read in this thread (and the lack of any direct response :-P) I went with a 50L from Thorsten at MoreBeer4U due to the slightly lower...

nice selection of equipment, thanks for the generosity! :mug:

Hey all, Been following this thread for some time and am ready to make the all grain braumeister plunge. Looking to get the 50L model. Is the consensus still to purchase from the fella at morebeer4u.com over morebeer.com? It's a significant question for me as I live in the California...
