Great video, how are you finding this a couple of years later? I recall reading that one of the reasons the Plaato system was discontinued was because the constant weight on the scales affected the long term performance/accuracy. Curious if you have seen any similar issues?

I have not seen any major change, but yes the electronics used are pretty cheep and are not considered extremely accurate, but definitely accurate enough for what we are using it for.

I have been using the original BRUAMEISTER 50L. Absolutely the BEST! HANDS DOWN! this was the first one if not one of the first to market with single vessel. Absolute high quality. Easiest to run as it pumps from the bottom. NO FITTINGS TO CHANGE POSITION AS YOU BREW. Never have to disconnect here and connect there.... Dough in , Mash, Lift lauder and drain (and sparge if you wish), boil, chill...done. NEVER DISCONNECT, move to another port and re-connect etc. ALL super high-quality SS. What you expect from German engineering. Worth the price All day long!!!

You are not comparing like with like! The variety of malts would surely affect the potential efficiency. You should be doing each recipe both the "proper" way and the "cold way" and comparing. I have consequently stopped watching the video half way through :) I had been hoping for a revelation! Actually I'd already seen the Brulosophy episode on this topic.

So with the clawhammer system, without sparging you can expect to get 60% efficiency?
@TroubleBrewing 4 ай бұрын
Currently getting about 70%, I cant recall the examples I recorded in this video but keep in mind the sample size is small. Efficiency is impacted by a ton of different factors. The equipment you use is just one factor.

HI Matt! I just purchased my system and I have been missing my expected OG by 12-13 points on each brew. I use Brewfather to create recipes and use the default equipment profile for the 120V Clawhammer system. Its expecting an efficiency of about 70%, does that seem to high and possibly the reason for missing my OG by the same measured amount? Im really stumped on this. Otherwise love the system!
@TroubleBrewing 4 ай бұрын
Hello, was it a one time miss or are you consistently under by that much? Missing OG can be caused by a ton of factors but there are some things that may be able to help. 1: double crush grains, BIAB allows for that. 2: Sparge instead of doing full water volume in mash. (I have a video on sparging) 3: Account for the volume loss and use either less water or more grain when planning 4: Take pre-boil gravity readings and adjust with DME until you can get more data.
@martinshaw1099 4 ай бұрын
@@TroubleBrewing so far i have been missing consistently about the same amount. I will try double crushing next time to see if that helps as i have read for a no sparge BIAB, double crushing helps a lot. I will look to keep some dme on hand going forward to be safe as well because if I used any less water, I wouldnt hit my batch volume. Thanks for the response

@JeffTheHokie 8 ай бұрын
I got my most efficient lauter and sparge by accident. My mash tun is a cooler with a steel braid strainer. I cleaned out my mash tun, dumped in the strike water, stirred in the grains, then realized I left the strainer out. Rather than messing up my temperature at that point, I let the mash sit for two hours. Then I scooped the grain out of the cooler into buckets, cleaned out the spigot so it wouldn't clog, put the strainer back in, put the mash back into the cooler, and rinsed the scoop and the buckets with sparge water. I ended up with a higher gravity than I was shooting for. That extended mash coupled with the extra handling must have squeezed more of the goodies out of the grain.

How do you avoid over filing the keg (which I'm assuming will just spill out the gas disconnect)? Could you use a check valve gas disconnect which I'm thinking will just stop the flow when liquid hits it? My brew batches are normally a couple of litres more than the 19 litre corny and i transfer into a purged but open corny so I see when it's full and i just bottle the extra.

Great video! When you note that you aren't going to use glycol or a fan for your lines because they are less than 6 feet, are you referring to the length of the lines outside of the keezer? Or the total length of the lines? I'm looking to move my beer taps to the top of my bar and I am going to need to run my lines outside of my kegerator. The length from kegerator to tower is probably about 3 feet and the last thing I want is foamy beer! Thanks!
@TroubleBrewing 11 ай бұрын
There is probably about 3 feet of line outside my keezer. Regarding the foam, the first pour every day is a bit foamy but after that it pours just like normal for the day. That first pour gets the line cold enough where it is not a problem. Up to you though!

Everyone should really understand the Beer coming from the Keg to the Taps MUST be relatively COLD and it's a shame, but I would have liked to see him pour beer. Because it would be a ton of foam beer. He doesn't have a true method or proper insulation to keep the Beer at a cold temp to avoid foaming. Let me know if anyone has built something like he has shown and it worked. I'd be VERY surprised to see no foam. Especially if the beer sits in the line for more than 10 minutes then pour from the Tap. ANYONE'S Thoughts???
@TroubleBrewing Жыл бұрын
Hello! The first pour of the day I would say the glass is half foam and if you let it settle for about 5 minutes you just top it back off. You mention that it would take 10 minutes for you to have another foam issue, this is just not the case unless you have a very warm place were the lines would be. After the first pour there are no issues for the day. You can go through the trouble of keeping the lines cold; which I do link to a resource on how to do that, but I find that just waiting 5 minutes after the first pour of the day is not significant enough of an issue to set this up. Up to you though! Let me know if you have questions.

Something to be cognizant of is that you're pulling a vacuum on the inside of your house. Air will need to come back in from the outside to replenish what you're exhausting. Those big fans move a lot of air. This can be dangerous if you're also running a natural gas furnace or water heater as the exhaust can be caused to back up into your house and lead to carbon monoxide issues.

@TroubleBrewing Жыл бұрын
Thanks for checking out the video! Overall I wouldn't change a thing. I do find that the first pour pours more foam then subsequent ones (im assuming this is because the lines above the freezer are room temperature?) So maybe implement some system to keep the lines cold above the freezer. But this really is not a big deal and I only would consider this if I'm really bored one day... The only other thing I can think of is I find that you really need to torque down on the handles so they don't move around on ya and you may need 2 people to tighten those down. Cheers!
