Anyone who have an idea how to make a beersmith equipment profile from this setup? How many kilos of malt would be maximum in a 25 litre kettle? The wort is pumped througt the maltbed from beneath so its not the same ratio as konventional mashing i presume? Any ideas?

That was my first option. But after a little thinking, I didnt want an element inside the kettle. But sure, i didnt try this one out yet. maybe its crap. Maybe it works as I hope. No one knows yet. But by next week I hope to try boil some water

The heat is a big concern. Im gonna cut a lot of vent holes to get the heat out from the under side. Im not gonna use all 4 of the cook plates during boil, just in the heating fase. Maybe thats gonna work. Otherwise I have to put a heatshield around the pump. I have catalysator heatshield...

The inner kettle still needs some work. In the lid Im gonna put a manifold-like tubing to spread the wort over the maltbed when circulating from the top during mas out and sparging. In the bottom I just put a garden hose male fitting, that fits into a female fitting I made in lathe. Very simple...

Im gettin closer. Im gonna circulate the wort after boil through the heat extchanger (how do you spell it?) and back into the kettle for wirlpool. Then I should get the coldbreak to settle, I think?

Oh yes. And cadillac sts during winter and monte carlo when im in mexico. He he

Yea exactly. But then i will start recirc from the top during mash out. Just to clear the wort. I cant say that this will work the first time. I hope it will

There are no dumb questions in a thread like this. Its the stupid answers that make people wonder. He he. Well i plan to pump the wort into the bottom of the inner kettle were the malt is during the mashing and let the wort flow over the edge down into the big kettle again. Just like...

Thanks for alll the kind words. The pump is a standard stainless circulation pump for heating water. Any one would do. I choose this heating source because i use in my present boiler two 2300w water boiler elements. But i have some caramellisation and they tend to be hard to keep clean. I use...

Sorry I have not come up with updates yet. But Im still looking for fittings. And since Im not working close to home, I dont have much time in my garage. But in the next few weeks I think its time for a brew. Im just gonna solder the tubings and seal the fittings. But I still need to build a...

I did cut a hole for a stainless circulation pump. Im gonna circulate the wort up through the malt bed. Just like the principal of braumeister. I really like that, because all the malt is gonna be exposed to the wort at all times. Im not finished yet, and need more ploming. The inner kettle...

I will here open a new thread for my own purpose about my new brew kettle. Its a 50L stainless kettle that I modified. I bouhgt 2 external double cookstoves that I instantly demolished. Then I welded a ring of stainless sheetmetal as a foundation for the kettle. Each one of the coocking plates...

Heres the pics of my old plastic setup. I have a new setup in stainless. Cheap as well, but needs welding. Pics will come later On the pics the setup was only assembled for the camera. But worked really fine CHEERS

I use a plastic bucket- in - bucket system. Two 31 litre buckets with a lot! Of holes in the inner buckets bottom. Just some isolation on the outside. Then i use for heater a 30 litre plastic fermentation bucket with two heater elements from waterboilers. I also use that heater as a boiler for...

I still have six left. My wife is going back to mexico in late october and bring me some more. Just in educational purpose.....
