Klarstein

Just been looking at these and I am very tempted

How big a brew good you do in this without boil overs

I have the klarstein fullhorn 30l kettle and so far am very pleased with it. I boil 18-19ltrs in mine for a 15ltr batch but it could take much more than that. However I wouldn't want to boil a full 30ltrs in it as that would be too full to risk boiling over for me.

 

[Rodcx500z]

I was thinking 21-23L, cheers for the info think I will take the plunge next week if they are the same price

 

[chrisb8]

The capacity would be fine for that. I see that they are on a good offer at the moment, about £20 off what I paid.

Just got this last week when the 30l was £169 (and plus an extra £10 off when you sign up to the newsletter). Keep an eye on the prices they go up and down a lot. Arrives tomorrow, hoping I can find time for a brew next weekend.

Does anyone know the mating camlock for the recirculating pump outlet?
These camlocks did not mate

So far I've slipped a hose over the end of the pipe but would rather have a fitting.

Hi Chris does the fullhorn come with grain a basket or do you have to buy a bag

 

[Barry AGB]

Don't think the Fulhorn comes with a grain basket. Klarstein sell a bag for about £25.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Cheers Barry, I didn't think it did, will have a search on the net

 

[chrisb8]

It comes with a false bottom for mashing but not a grain basket. I mash in a separate mash tun and use the kettle for heating the strike and sparge water and for the boil.

 

[Rodcx500z]

cheers Chris I thought it did, just ordered this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Q2WBPBQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Note for those considering buying, the 'max fill' line inside is actually at 27 litres. 30 litres is to the top of the kettle and while I can see that you could consider fitting that amount in there, there is no way you'd want to boil that in there.

Should be fine for the brews I have planned, but I was expecting it to be 30l to the max fill line.

Hi all, looking for some advice on a potential purchase of one of these Klarstein pieces of kit.

I recently broke my DIY insulated plastic mash tun set up and am looking at alternatives. I have a DIY boiler (again plastic) with two kettle elements in and a separate Klarstein stainlesss fermenter.

Looking to replace the mash tun and possibly use the same vessel as a boiler - which do you recommend?

 

[Rodcx500z]

yeah for the money its a good piece of kit, but use a bag, as I found out to my cost on my first brew
