[@thevoice4758]

Some remarks: 1) After getting the (inner) malt basket out of the kettle you have to sparge. 2) You also put to much water in the kettle. The water flows via the inner tube. This may not happen. The water has to go through the malt throug the filter to get in the kettle. You must regulate the valve to slow down the flow. 3) when boiling. Never put your glass lid on the kettle.

[@HantixGaming]

you do not have to sparge

[@thevoice4758]

@@HantixGaming It will increase your mash efficiency. Normally I use about 75% of the water during mash. The rest is sparge water. (calculated by your software). I use this sparge water at 90°C to get the last sugar out of the malt resulting in a mash efficiency of > 80%.

[@johnrambo1660]

That is how a demo video should look like!

[@Mateoo0]

Thanks!

[@lukalaulumaa4496]

Just wondering, does it come with the cooling system. Cant you just cool it with the termostat? I'm looking to buy that system and before I buy, Iwant to know do I have to buy a cooler separate.

did i miss the sparge?

i just bought mine :) it arives tomorrow :)

Hello! You don't have done the sparging phase?

[@parmdeeppuri2981]

probably didnt need to sparge as he has circulation pump

[@thevoice4758]

@@parmdeeppuri2981 With an automat system as this you always have to sparge to get the last sugars and aromatics out of the malt otherwise the efficiency is low. Besides this he is not using the circulation pump as it should be.

Hello, I have the Klarstein Mash Kettle, and it doesn't have a recirculation system. How does that affect the process?

[@MYCHANNELWITHMYSTUFF]

It doesn't. you don't need a recirculation system to brew beer. its just an added feature to allow a sparge while you are mashing.

[@MYCHANNELWITHMYSTUFF]

The recirculation pump will also allow for faster cooling after boiling

[@thetiz33]

Nice vidéo ! did you move it into your kitchen when It was full ? U should care about that because in the small manual, they saying that the handles are design to carry and support the weight when it's empty, not full, so I suppose it can break...

[@Mateoo0]

you will not find out until you try ;-)

[@joaquimsuner4906]

how do you clean ir after? i am concern about the electric components, cables, buttons, panels, etc. Thanks!

[@thevoice4758]

Normal cleaning product for doing the dish (Dreft, ...) with a sponge. Turn also the pump on for some minutes and let it flow back to the kettle. If there is chalck on the bottom use vinegar. Rinse it afterwards with clean water (and do not forget the pump).

[@groovus2974]

can u maybe use the internal pump with the wort chiller on a closed circuit? Say for exmpl: circulating ice cold water from a cooler?

[@Mateoo0]

yes, but this chiller isn't in the set of Klarstein

Very Good, any problems :) recomend

[@hetyu]

Once the wort is cooled after boiling, how do you transfer to the fermentor? The tap is still unsanitized. And how do you ensure that the hot trub is not transferred to the fermentor? Thanks

[@Mateoo0]

I pour the wort through a tap (from a large height) or through a pump with a bend. spiritferm.biz/pl/p/Worek-filtracyjny-nylonowy-600mikronow-17x40cm/421 Use small bags or a large sack for hopping. spiritferm.biz/pl/p/Worek-do-zacierania-lub-filtracji-50L-1sztuka/950

[@Itubewetube1]

You can use a sanitiser spray to spray in the tap and around it. No need to rinse, but you can rinse with tapwater. Atleast in the Netherlands we have premium quality tapwater without chloride or other chemicals. And this way I also did it in the (actual/commercial) brewery. Also from first fermenting to cask for lagering.

[@danielode1666]

Grzałka jest na dnie czy dokoła kotła? Pytam bo widzę, że sprzęt nie ma automatycznego mieszadła i zastanawiam się czy nie ma ryzyka karmelizacji czy przypalenia słodów na dnie.

[@Mateoo0]

Daniel Ode mi się na razie nic nie przypaliło. Jeśli na wygrzew nie dajesz maksymalnej mocy to powinno być ok. Element grzewczy jest pod dnem zainstalowany

what you mean?

No, no, this kettle is for mashing/boiling only, once the wort is cooled, you drain it via the tap to the fermenting bucket.

[@fredriknyberg5733]

Hey mate! been thinking about buying this one and i have a couple of questions, if you'd like to help me me. Is there no sparging process? or you just did a BIAB kind of method instead of sparging with water from a seperate source? The top filter; what is it for and why didn't you use it? The circulation pump; why is it neccessary during the mashing process? didn't fully understand it's purpose. Thanks in advance!

[@Mateoo0]

There is a filter to which you throw the malt. You don't have to use bag. Water is poured from a separate pot from top to bottom

[@fredriknyberg5733]

@Bryan Hermannsson you can use it to recirculate the batch, but for sparge wated you'd have to do it manually

[@rafalilnicki]

Przy użyciu tego sprzetu juz nie trzeba wysladzac?

[@Mateoo0]

wysładzanie zaczyna się od momentu wsypania słodu. Dokładasz wtedy kolanko i włączasz pompę. Od dołu woda jest zawracana do góry i przecieka przez złoże w filtrze. i tak w cyrkulacji. Ale... możesz nie robić wysładzania po przerwach - wtedy będziesz miał wyższy ekstrakt i po prostu zdejmujesz kosz z młótem. Możesz też podnieść kosz i wysładzać od góry do momentu uzyskania pożądanego BLG.

[@rafalilnicki]

@@Mateoo0 no właśnie o to mi chodziło o czym piszesz w ostatnim zdaniu poniwaz jak nie wysladzasz po wyciagnieciu kosza to wyjdzie mniej piwa ale o wyzszym ekstrakcie.

[@Mateoo0]

dokładnie

[@rafalilnicki]

@@Mateoo0 da rade na tym zrobic 25 L 17 blg?

[@Mateoo0]

Jak wsypiesz 7-8 kg i przemieszasz złoże co jakiś czas to powinieneś dać. Mi się chyba udało FESa zarobić takiego koło 17BL i wyszło mi ze 23 litry w sumie

[@arendschrikbarend]

No sparging? Very small batch this way!

sprawdza się ten sprzęt bo myślę nad zakupem , nie ma problemów z pompą ? Nie przytyka się ? Ogólnie jak byś ocenił warzenie na tym sprzęcie w skali od 1 do 10 ?

[@Mateoo0]

Sprawdza. Jak robisz wszystko zgodnie z instrukcja i nie powodujesz, ze zadne drobinki slody czy chmielu sie nie dostaja, to bedzie ok. Daje 8,5/10

[@PiwnaPlaneta]

Ile czasu zamjuje Ci warzenie typowej 20l warki 12-15Blg na tym sprzecie (od wsypania słodów do zadania drożdży) ? Czy chłodnica była w zestawie ?

[@Mateoo0]

Zależy oczywiście od stylu, zasypu, ile przerw robisz... Prostą IPA robiłem ok 4,5 h z chłodzeniem do ok 30-35 C (niestety było bardzo gorąco latem). Potem wstawiałem do lodówki na maksymalne chłodzenie. Jak temp. zeszła do 16 C zadawałem drożdże. W zestawie nie ma chłodnicy. Podobno są konkurencyjne zestawy z chłodnicą, ten akurat nie. Chłodnica zanurzeniową kupiłem za 160 zł w Twoim Browarze twojbrowar.pl/pl/warzelnia-browaru/1466-chlodnica-zanurzeniowa.html

[@PiwnaPlaneta]

To całkiem niezły czas można z tym urządzeniem osiągnąć. Cena tego Klarsteina w porównaniu do Brewamiastara czy Grainfathera jest bardzo przystępna więc jest to produkt warty uwagi. Dzięki i pozdrawiam.

[@Mateoo0]

zgadza się. Odchodzi Ci przelewanie przy filtracji do fermentora. Jest czyściej,wygodniej i kompaktowo. chłodnice zawsze sobie można dorobią odpowiednią. Polecam

[@irbispw]

Witam. Jakie maksymalne blg da się osiągnąć na tym sprzęcie? Są jakieś ograniczenia? Co z wielkością warki? Czy można dowolną ilość zrobić, tzn mniejszą niż maksymalna objętość? Maksymalna ilość zasypu? Z góry dzięki za odpowiedź na te nurtujące mnie pytania. Pozdrawiam

[@rafbessa]

hi mate, what do you think is the maximum volume (into the fermenter) we can do with this brewery? I ordered one.. I see the common is to get aroung 23 liters in the end, but Im planning to have a little more (like 27 liters). I do a 60 min boil, so if start the boiling with about 32 liters (after sparge) it should do. (consdering losses of around 3 liters boils off and 2 liters trub). Just not sure if this equipment supports that. Thanks

[@losFondos]

I have a different system, but if my boiling volume is to high, I just start the boil with the desired gravity, and after the boil I top up with ice cold bottled water to get the volume up and the temp down. You could save 3 liters that way

[@Itubewetube1]

or to buy the 50L version like I did.... ;)

[@johrschejung]

Nice dude. Just a quick question: I have heard that the brewhouse efficiency is quite low with this system, and that one can account for that by using a larger amount of malt. Did you do that as well? Also, how many water would you have to use with this system in your first and second cast, when you want to get about ~21 liters of wort in the end? Cheers!
