#BEERSMITH NO SPARGE PORTABLE#
If you want to speed up the temperature rise, you can use a 2000W portable water heater, which allows to reach a boil in 7-8 minutes instead of 15 Starting with these pre-boil volumes is a great way to go, especially for brewers in the metric system, because you can directly recycle the many 5 Gal recipes you find online without any further conversion In case of a 90 minutes boil, start with 6.7 Gal (25.5L)īy the way, boiling for 90 minutes does not make much difference, unless a special hops schedule is required by the recipe, so, go for 60 minutes, you will save time This way, when you bottle, with the trub loss, you will end up with your 5 Gal (19L) To reach this goal with your 20L Braumeister, start with a pre-boil vol of 6.5 Gal (24.5L), so that you will end up with about 5.4 Gal (20.5L) in the fermenter If you typically brew 5 Gal (19L) recipes you found online, this means 5 Gal in the bottles/keg Let the pipe drain for 2 minutes and then move it on top of your fermentation bucket the same way it was sitting on the Braumeisterĭon’t forget to add hot water to the Braumeister up to 24.5L (right below the top mark on the central piece), that will be your pre-boil volume Your simplest bet for this is to use a shower at max temperature ~65☌ (149☏) Lift the pipe and, without removing the perforated disc, sparge about 3L of hot water (77☌/170☏) on top of it, that’s about up to its little cylinder handle When the Braumeister beeps to asks you to remove the pipe, start the rest of the program immediately (= 3 clicks), as it will take a good 15 minutes to reach a boil anyway
You can get these cups from the kids department at IKEA Sparge You can already prepare your hops additions during the mash

That’s about 1.5 hour with the above programįeel free to open a window from now on to let steam and smell escape The Braumeister will go through both mash and mash out automatically without stopping, until it will beep to ask you to remove the pipe These flexible buckets are perfect, because you can bend them to funnel the grain Pour the malt into the pipe taking great care not to drop grain outside the pipe, which could clog the pump
60☌ (140☏), starting at this slightly higher temperature, 60☌ (140☏) instead of 38☌ (100☏), prevents sugars from sticking onto the coil during dough-in and makes cleaning a bliss, without any difference on the beer taste Water by John Palmer | Bru’n Water | EZ Water Calculatorįill with 23L mash water (the top mark is 25L and the one below 20L, so that’s a little higher than halfway between the two)Īs you fill the Braumeister, keep an eye on the display and adjust the shower (if any) for approx. If you correct your water, it’s time to add lactic or phosphoric acid If you need recipes, check our page Braumeister Recipes, where you will also find more information about more advanced mash steps

This slightly lower boil temp gives the perfect rolling boil with less risk of a boil over Mash in (saccharification rest): 67☌ (152☏) for 60 minutes.Starting at 60☌ (140☏) instead of 38☌ (100☏) allows for a much easier cleaning If you need a good mash schedule, this one will work wonders for most beers
