I test out the 120V configuration on the Blichmann BrewEasy Compact and attempt to use the grain basket as a hop screen.

I use my basket in my DIY Clawhammer / Breweasy rig. I love it for my whirlpool hops. Never felt like i was getting good contact in my hop spider. Seems to work much better in the large basket. Thanks for the video Brian. Sláinte

Blichmann makes nice gear. I decided on a BrewZilla Gen 4 220V 35L on Black Friday. Way more control than propane and heats up quickly.

Loved your video as always Brian! On the 20 amp device swap it is worth pointing out to those who may not be aware, that before one attempts to do this where an existing 15 amp receptacle is, you must make certain that you have a 20-amp breaker that feeds that circuit (obviously), but more importantly that you have 12-awg wire feeding that outlet. If it's 14-awg, this would place a 15 amp limit on the device that can be safely supported. Putting a 20 amp load on a 14-awg feeder for the duration of a kettle run can potentially be a fire hazard. It's not uncommon to see a 20 amp breaker feeding a string of 15 amp devices via 14-awg in some homes (bad practice), so it's worth mentioning for the DIY'ers who may be a bit more ambitious than informed ;) Brew safe!

I will be covering that. I did clearly say you need a 20 amp circuit. No wiring that's up to code would have 14 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit. 👍🍻

@@ShortCircuitedBrewers You absolutely did! Have seen enough bad electrician and DIY jobs though where 20 amp trips were on 14-awg runs to know that the old Russian saying "Trust but verify" is good practice. Never assume the other guy did it right in other words.

Sorry, maybe I am easily entertained (I am) but I couldn't get past imagining you jamming out to Slipnot. More of a Korn or Prodigy fan over Slipnot but being a DJ for 5 years in a previous life and loving my alternative 80's and 90's music, the slipnot shirt just makes me smile every time you where it. I wonder if royalty fees weren't so high, what every channel would play as background music if we were allowed to use commercial music (for an affordable cost) in the background of our videos. 😂 Wait, I totally forgot this video had something do do with a grain basket...sorry just couldn't get past the Slipnot shirt but at least it made me smile. Have a great week.

Thank you for posting this one. I was on the fence about switching from my Grainfather to the 120v version, but seems like a lateral move since the boil and time to boil is roughly the same as opposed to the 240v version which seems to be the way to go for me.

Do you have any experience with the breweasy gas version? I already have an outdoor natural gas line setup, but cannot facilitate a 240v connection so I'm trying to decide between gas and 120v. Thanks!

Have you tried using the grain basket as a hop spider during the whole boil? I imagine being so open and large, you will get pretty good contact between the hops and wort and plenty of circulation. By the way, my 240V version arrived today. Hopefully brewing on it soon, as I'm waiting on a few other bits for my setup to arrive.
@ShortCircuitedBrewers
@ShortCircuitedBrewers 2 года назад
It will cause the boil to rise up the sides and boil over. I wouldn't recommend it.

I tried using the grain basket in my grainfather as a hop basket once. That failed miserably with the bottom coming off and all the hops went everywhere. The hops also had a tendency to climb up on the outside of the basket so I didn't get the full utilization I wanted from it.

Great review. The 120 volt system is great for somebody that lives in an apartment and doesn't have to hire an electrician to come in and install a dedicated outlet for their brewing system. Is there a price difference between the 2 or is it pretty much the same? Cheers!
