It does sorta do the same thing, but the hose does not seem to want to stay pointing where I want it to once you remove the basket. The arm just targets the bottom of the kettle for the whirlpool I believe. I think it would help with clean in place too.

Yea, it's really just another bottom plate. If I would have known I would have ordered it at the same time as the G40, but instead I have to ship twice. Also waiting for the whirlpool arm to become available. What OS is the S10+ on? Both my Pixel 6 and Pixel 4 are on Android 13 and 12, I had...

I also added the ball valve. At which poin in the cleaning process do you remove the false bottom? Do you end up with left over water in the counterflow chiller? I did PBW as well, better clean that sticky! Probably somewhat overkill but I'll use as I deem necessary.

It was a 5 gallons saison so the grain was no where near the top holes. I just ordered a second bottom to use a top for when I do 10 gallon batches (I heard this solves that problem?). So it must have come through the basket. Maybe I need to start using rice hulls, I just haven't needed them...

I found a 6 year old phone and was able to setup the grainfather with it. My wifes 4 year old phone was still too new to work with it. I brewed my first batch (saison) and ran into two issues. When lifting the basket allot of grain made it's way through the basket and into the boil. I spent...

their werbsite says I Just need to set it up with a compatible device (Android 11), and then the new phone will work. Mine is an andoird 13, and is almost 2 years old, my wifes nearly 4 year old phone is on andoid 12, so I need to find one of my really old phones or buy an iphone I guess, I...

Just went back and fourth between the new SS Brewtech and the grainfather G40. I ended up with the G40 and it's on it's way. I'm currently trying to figure out how to export receipes from beersmith to something the grainfather can digest. I installed the grainfather app on my phone, but when...

Is it possible to do a high gravity 5 gallon batch on the B80 system? Say 25lbs of grain for 5 gallons? I'm pretty set this is what I will buy next, but I just priced myself out of a new brew system for now (I'd want to get it with the accessory kit). I believe I can run it off a 240v 14-30...

Just have him use larger wire so you can change the outlet and breaker later without a re-wire ;) 14-30 is standard for dryers, and 14-50 is standard for charging electric cars. I would use something like 6awg wire so you could upgrade to something much later, like an EV, welder, or dryer. I...

My house already has 2 14-30's on the same circuit. Anyone tried running a B80 using 2 14-30's on the same circuit? It requires 2, 6-20's but I believe the elements are only 13 amps, and you can adjust them down lower. 26 amps total is 86% load for a 14-30. There is an 80% rule for constant...

Looks like on the Titan version, you can lift out the basket in stages. https://www.brouwland.com/en/our-products/brewing/brewing-equipment/electric-brew-kettles/brew-monk/d/brew-monk-titan-all-in-one-brewing-system For me that would be a significant improvement since I hurt my back last year...

It is, but what was it before? The brewtools sure looks great and meets my requirements. but the UniBrau does too (I just haven't found a video of anyone brewing on it).

How are you guys liking this system? I'm trying to compare this one to the unibrau all in one?

Well I had many different Belgian bottles, 500's 375's 12oz and 750's, I needed to be sure some smaller ones were filled for competitions and if there was enough, more small bottles after. Then of course I was bottling from some other kegs too, which means more different bottles, easier to...

I used this for the first time with my eclectic collection of belgian bottles. The capper quality itself is so/so. It's built like a tank no doubt but the machining looks worse than a russian mosin nagant. I took it apart because the handle binds up a bit on the way back up (nothing critical...

If I was going to that I'd just punch some holes in my HLT and make it into an e-herms, seems better and not anymore expensive than punching a large hole into my brew kettle and adding a basket. But I could do that later if I wanted to go full electric. What I really need is just a nice...

I'm back to looking, the G70 is on sale and I believe it solves allot of the problems mentioned in the post above. However I still don't know if you can do 5.5-6 gallon batches on it. I'm also considering the Unibrau, but I have no idea what heating elements and controller to get if I were to...

Well, it looks slightly harder to adjust for my eclectic bottle collection (have to unscrew the knob, rather than just tilt the bottle base) but I'll have to see how difficult it really is when I go to use it (it might have more throw than the other one). I Lysol wiped it down and will...

So I found this guy on CL for $35. Bonus the guy was super cool and gave me all these Homebrew books too!

To me micro oxidation and oxidized are too different things. Oxidized is always a negative term in brewing. Barrel aging is great (micro oxidation), for certain styles. I have 3-4 barrels I have been playing with myself. I am under the impression that keg conditioning can / will help prevent...
