Regular.
Thanks for the update BrewHead - when you brew, please link to it from here so it is easy to find :thumb:
I posted up a brew day a couple of weeks ago and forgot to put the link in hereeskimobob said:swiggingpig said:There is a home brew shop owner in Austrailia who can supply a SS pick-up tube and a seal for the top filter, they are a worthwhile addition to the BM. Using whole hops, with a ss mesh filer that I attach to the pickup, I have a little over 1 litre of dead space in the BM.
Thanks swiggingpig I was wondering about that - the videos I have seen all show people using pellets rather than whole leaf hops therefore I was wondering how I could make a filter. Can you post a link to the Ozzy one or alternatively photos of your one?
I'll go and have a look to see if you have posted a brew thread using your BM next :thumb:
Hi BHBrewHead said:Just a quick update - took delivery of a 50L unit and short malt pipe during the week. Got it out today to give it an initial clean and it really is a quality piece of equipment. The stainless steel is thick and solid, it feels very well made, and everything is designed for ease (appreciate it should be for the price!). The only downside so far is the weight of the unit which makes it a bit tricky to manhandle for cleaning etc. I'm going to brew my first beer with it on Friday so any recipe suggestions are most welcome. Was thinking of a pale ale/IPA, but might do a lager so I can try all the different mash options it has.
If you're ever in the Huddersfield area your very welcome to view one in the flesh as it were :eskimobob said:Thanks swiggingpig, very good to see. The more I see of these the more I want one
Any chance you can post up the drawingIPA said:By the way I contacted Ralf Leukart at Speidel on the subject of hop filters and he sent me the drawing for the filter they are proposing to make and it looks very interesting. It looks like it will reduce the lost volume containing the trub.
Cheers

That's cool, I fully understand :thumb:IPA said:Hi swiggingpigswiggingpig said:Any chance you can post up the drawing
I don't feel I can post it up because they have not yet started manufacturing it yet and there would be copyright issues. All that I will say is that if they manufacture it I will be one of the first people to buy it!
Cheers IPA

IPA said:One piece of advice I offer to anyone is to remove the pump rotor every three or four brews and soak it in a strong solution of bottle/barrel cleaner. This makes sure that the 1mm holes that allow liquid to pass behind it are kept clear if they become even partially blocked the rotor rubs against the housing and the magnets in it become de-magnetised and the pump stops working. This happened to me with both the 20L and the 50L models. In both cases Speidel replaced them free charge! out of the guarantee period.
You are dead right it is an amazing bit of kit.

KOzric said:Hi guys, could I ask a favour of anyone with a 20l and/or 50l Braumeister to tell me roughly how much liquid the malt pipes alone hold. I'm currently having a go at building a similar system for home use and was wondering what sort of sizes 'the professionals' are using.
Thanks,
KOzric
The 50L model has a tube diametre of 34cm and a total height of 47cm. According to Pythagoras radius x radius x 3.142 x height = volume. Making roughly 42L but the volume for the grain with the top and bottom filters in place is 32L.HowlingDog said:KOzric said:Hi guys, could I ask a favour of anyone with a 20l and/or 50l Braumeister to tell me roughly how much liquid the malt pipes alone hold.

20L - dia: 270mm
- height: 365mm
After four years of using a Braumeister I have at last found a way of stopping the trub exiting by the tap into the FV.swiggingpig said:Any chance you can post up the drawingIPA said:By the way I contacted Ralf Leukart at Speidel on the subject of hop filters and he sent me the drawing for the filter they are proposing to make and it looks very interesting.
