Brewing Beer with the Brew Monk

[@jansteyaert1]

"When I was a beginning brewer I stressed a lot about grain bills." So true. I did the exact same, adding 5-6 different kinds of malt to try and get that one specific profile. Keep it simple, beginner brewing advice EVER.

[@leSingeMajestueux]

One of my first beer I did a bitter but added to much roasted malt. Tasted like a stout.

[@louismac1]

thanks for doing this. just ordered one and hate reading instruction instructions.will be watching this again when the things infront of me

[@stevetrusler1958]

Your pump appears to be getting clogged because your overflow tube in the centre is getting mash down it. The tube extension is to prevent this.

[@ScottBass86]

Really clear guide, you've helped a lot - Thanks

[@ManchesterBlackSheep]

Good man using Celcius!

[@jmiller876]

How did he make 20 litres of beer with such little malt?? Those 2 tiny bowls?

[@dugar1234]

Good video, I'm thinking of getting one of these. I already know I'm going to be hating the 0.1C increments in temperature setting. Not that it's going to be that inconvenient by the looks of it, but just for the utter redundancy.

How can I protect the hole at the bottom that links up to the pump ??

[@taxusbaccata3001]

nice socks :D

[@richardhowarth4230]

Can you fit the brewzilla false bottom screen into the base to replace the bazooka filter? I’ve heard of people fitting it to the grainfather as it has the same tiny filter

[@nicovaerewijck718]

How did you cool to lets say to 26C?

[@gergelyszabo9624]

At 5:15 you put the filter upside down into the kettle. It does not make any sense that the handles are on the top, the whole filter should be at the bottom of the kettle

[@almilne6703]

there are 2 filters with this system, a bottom one and a top one. The one with handles goes on top

[@worems1]

Is there a reason why you didn't use full power for your mash? Purely an energy saving thing or something else?

[@Aqery]

5/5 video. Do you recommend brew monk? How many batches have you done with it? I'm about to buy one.

[@mister.snrubb]

I have brewed about 20 batches with it and am fairly satisfied. I would recommend it, unless you have the money to buy a fancier version.

[@tomietie]

Is the malt pipe supposed to overflow during the mash?

[@mister.snrubb]

No, but if you use a lot of rye, oats, wheat or other "gummy" grain that can happen. In this case turn the blue lever to reduce the flow.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

Pump gets cogged becasue you omit the bazooka.

[@lauriperala6928]

The bazooka doesn't affect to pump. It's only for output when you are moving stuff to fermentation.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

@@lauriperala6928 The pump isnt used for recirculation?

[@lauriperala6928]

@@rimmersbryggeri Yes, but the bazooka isn't attached to the that pipe which goes to the pump.

[@rimmersbryggeri]

@@lauriperala6928 Ok. I had mypump clog up with grain in my home made system but a screen filter like what you put in boats and caravans in line cleared that right up so I thought maybe that's what the bazooka was for.
