I have built a diy braumeister and a diy grainffather as aamcle says, the hardest thing is to get the malt pipe sorted. Getting top and bottom filters, overflow pipe and a grain basket, keeping the basket off the element, holes in the end of malt pipe etc etc. there can be a lot of fluffing around g...

Add oat or rice hulls to your mash, it will help especially if using wheat, oats. Check the crush size is not too fine

If you are milling your own grain check the crush , also get some oat husks it will help I have a similar setup and was getting stuck mash as my crush size was too fine for my system. I now find that a crush if 1.1mm works good for me Thanks for the suggestion. I get my grain pre-crushed so I don’t...

Yep it is a hefty price but if you saw the build quality and components you might think otherwise. This is a complete controller, plug and play, brewpiless is a diy job and not suitable for all brewers and is also a fermentation controller last time I built one. I haven’t seen smartpid but it’s the ...

great review, I have one to do, but have been mental busy , might just get a chance tomorrow , or friday What I really liked about the system is there isn’t much of a learing curve. Setting mash steps and hop additions is really easy and quick, just give the instructions a read before you use it th...

I recently signed up to test and review the 1V1P brew controller from Einbrew. I have been brewing for over 3 years on all electric brewing systems. I started off with a plastic bucket BIAB system. I love BIAB mainly for is simplicity and ability to turn around a brew day in a short amount of time b...

Yeah, I am getting good results will lellemand yeasts, I use Munich classic for my heffewizens, abbey for Belgian and I just used their diamond lager in a German pills, it’s still fermenting but the samples are really good.
Again, if u like banana in you heffes under pitch with Munich classic

I am just finishing my keg of Patersbier brewed with this CML yeast and I am most impressed. Fermented quite warm and the yeast has really shone through.

I got bubblegum and spice from the CML Belgian yeast, in a Patersbier. Produced a delicious beer, definitely one I'd consider using again. Not too bad attenuation either, at about 80% apparent. Actually sticks to the bottle nicely when pouring too. Patersbier.jpg Will pick up a few packs and give i...

Did a German Pilsner on the 1v1p last weekend, it’s very impressive. I have a 2 vessell rims system similar to the breweasy setup, this is similar to biab, full volume brewing.
I also have an ardbir which I thought was the dogs, but the 1v1p is easier to use.

I have a review coming shortly
