Klarstein Brauheld Pro 45l

[ChrisD123]

Its arrived, quite impressed with the time etc as it obviously came from Germany...looking forward to getting back to it having previously had a bulldog brewer...so any other Brauheld users out their have any tips/advice about any foibles etc...is the bazooka really necessary as i didnt bother with it on the bulldog? Boiling was an issue with the bulldog too as you always had to recalibrate once the boil commenced...just wondered if there was anything i should keep an eye out for...cheers

did a bit of a dry/wet run today to ensure no leaks and everything was doing as it was told...all working fine...so next thing will be a brew...will be keeping it simple probably a Smash to just get into the swing of things again...i assume i will be ok doing a smaller brew as opposed to a full on 45litre job...i used to have a bulldog so max boil volume was around 30litres..was thinking something along these lines to begin with. Not wanting a full capacity brew to start with as sticking with what i know works previously

Got a selection of malts plus hops...Citra, cascade, challenger, saaz, mittelfruh...so plenty of choice

Excellent idea. You also now what it should taste like.... It will make finding any faults much easier.

Expect it to be different.

Does anyone bother with bazooka filter...i didnt bother with it on the bulldog, was always clogging

 

[MashBag]

Yup. It will
