I only got 17l (4.5g) into the fermentor on that brew and Brewmate calculates a 70% brewhouse efficiency. Seems lika as soon as you go over 5kg (11lbs) grain in a recipe, your effiency starts dropping down to the lower 70s. I think I just might go for it and fill the 50l maltpipe with...

I'v now brewed 6 batches with my 50l BM using the 20l malt pipe, and the only thing that's been giving me some headache, except for my great beers, is how to brew higher gravity beers. Managed to get up to 1.082 on an Imperial Stout by stuffing the malt pipe with 6.3kg of grain and a two hour...

Hey howdy hey my brewing brothers and sisters, as Jamil would say. Just brewed myself an Imperial Stout yesterday, my forth brew on the Meister. I stuffed the smaller maltpipe with 6,6kg of grain, and had to put in the upper screen upside down with the centre hub facing downwards to create a...

With a 30 litre malt pipe you could off course brew larger batches, but it would also allow more room for evaporation when doing longer boils, if you want to end up with more than 5 gallons in the fermentor.

Hah, and I'v already been planning on taking the large maltpipe to a sheet metal shop and getting it cut down to about 30 - 35 litres. Well I guess I could cut it myself but don't have the tools to make that lap at the top. What's with them damn Germans, you always have to redesign all their...

I did my third brew on the 50l last weekend, a 5 gallon batch with a grain bill of 11.5 lb and hit 1.069, using the small pipe obviously, and with a 60min boil. Did stop and stir the mash six times at pump breaks and sparged with 5 litres. I would have fit a couple of pounds or so more in the...

I'm looking at ordering the 50l Braumeister in the next 4-5 months and have a question about mash efficiency when brewing with the Brumeister. I've now brewed 7 AG batches with a simple cooler mash tun and 25 litre boil kettle setup, and my mash efficiency has ranged between 65 - 78%. Even when...

Wow, my first message here on homebrewtalk! I´m about to bottle my batch of Baltic Porter ABV 8,5% made with WLP001 next week and thought i would try washing yeast for the first time. Hope to find the time for two more batches this year before it gets too cold in my garage. Mr.Malty...
