Great video - thanks for sharing. I have the first generation BM and have very consistent brews all the time. The new one with the cooling jacket looks even better (less cleaning and I believe cooling the latent heat from the BM body will actually speed up cooling.) Cheers !
Braumeister looks the nuts. Really enjoyed watching this. The wort looked a beauty. I've just started doing my videos. Will look forward to more of your videos. Subed! 👍🏼
It costs a fortune, but it's a thing of beauty and really easy to use (after the first run). I think they've just released a new one with a cooling jacket?
Nice job, ive just ordered a similar system but a little cheaper from royal catering, i will however have to make my own chiller, still works out cheaper and comes with a 3 year guarantee, thanks for sharing your brewday.
Although the Speidel Braumeister 20 is a high quality piece of equipment, it is very expensive. If spending this amount of money one may as well buy the 50L version. Also, when cooling the wort it's important that the wort chiller is sterilised. Most people least the chiller coil in the hot or boiling wort for a reasonable length of time before turning on the cooling water.
A friend that has one told me he runs the circulation during the cooling bit to get it to cool faster. I couldn't tell in the video if you did or not but if it helps awesome. Cheers
Hello. I have newly pre-ordered myself a braumeister 20 litre and looking forward to test it out! Are you using beersmith to set up recipes? If you are, can you make a video about the braumeister profile and setup in beersmith? If you not using beersmit would it anyway be nice with a video about the work and preparing before the main brewday. Btw, thanks for a top video, i'm really looking forward for more. cheers! :)
Hi Rob,I just picked up a hood for my BM,nearly boiled over on me,then added hops and they all came to the surface. Should I be worried,or am I doing something wrong? Have you had any issues? Thanks. Andy
80% efficiency Nice! Your Brew Days take about as long as mine but the whole thing seems to be much less work. No stupid mash tun or worrying about hitting your mash temps. So its been a couple months are you still liking it? I know the old models had issues with the pumps. Any problems with that?
On brew number 8 now, so far so good! Time for me is about 4.5-5 hours, you could cut it down by leaving out the early mash steps. I've not had problems with the pump, but a couple of times at the end of the brew I have noticed some grain wash out when I've cleaned it down after. In my opinion if you're careful about mashing in without spilling any grain outside the malt pipe and you use pellet rather than leaf hops there's nothing to worry about. They're really good units, and the new ones with the cooling jackets look even easier to clean up.
Hi Jun, usually the pump stops recirculating once you reach 88 degrees C in either manual or automatic mode. If yours continues to pump I do not think it would effect your beer quality, but it may be worth contacting Spiedel to check this. If you are brewing now I would carry on and not worry about it!
