      Yes they are, but I am looking at reinforcing them (not sure how yet, maybe if I could get my hands on some small stainless steel bar stock and make a ring to tap and screw on the bottom of the legs). If they break I am thinking of just putting some blocking in to keep the basket off the bottom (this prevents scorching and allows the pump to work freely).

    I find rice hulls helps a lot, with keeping things flowing in a bigger bill. I always brew 10 gal batches on it, and that pretty much maxes her out. I only aim for4-5% beers, but when you're looking for 2 kegs a batch, it's a lot of volume. Do rice hulls affect efficiency?

      @@therandomrobot3801 Absolutely. half pound for a small batch, a pound for a big batch. Aim for a pound if you're using a lot of flake or rye in the mash. From what I read it increases your efficiency, so you can dial the grist back slightly. Recirculation is improved, as such, efficiency. Nothing worse than a stuck mash.

  • @michaelcaffery5038
    @michaelcaffery5038 ปีที่แล้ว

    It would be better to have the water inlet and outlet on opposite sides with the inlet pointing down and the outlet up with the whole thing tilted down at the inlet end to ensure no air in the tube and a constant flow of fresh water all round the inner tube. It might work the way you did it but will probably need a strong current of water.

    Ehi! What is the minimum volume of beer that you can brew with this grainfather model? Thanks from Italy

    • @therandomrobot3801
      @therandomrobot3801 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well the minimum amount of water for your mash should be 20 L ( I would not go any smaller). This will not yield 20 L of beer the grain will retain some of the water after mashing (around 2% to 4% of the total volume) plus you will have boil losses. So expect a yield of aprox 17 L. You will then have further losses during the racking process. hope this helps

    Nice! I've had this unit a while. Have you noticed massive mash temperature fluctuations? I've had a couple of beers ferment completely differently to what they should and I think this is due to the heat controller being way off. I wondered if you'd found any methods to counteract this? I was keeping the highest element on during mashing and also keeping the lid on, with the recirculation arm down the side - I think this may have contributed. I've just done a brew where I kept the lid off and turned the 2.3kw element off throughout the mash. I got massive efficiency as I did a 90 minute mash (ended up with a 1.050 beer where I should have had 1.045), so we'll see how it ferments. Also, did you modify your lid?

    • @therandomrobot3801
      @therandomrobot3801 ปีที่แล้ว

      I did find a aprox 3 to 5 degree C temperature fluctuations. one way to help with this is using a insulating jacket (I do not have a good one) and the lid should only be used on very small batches if the heat and pump are on (grain bed will cause the pump to run dry on larger batches). I did modify my lid as I will be attempting to use it as a still (future vid). I also would like to modify it more so that I could add a agitator (keeping the lid on thorough the mashing stage)

    My background is 20yrs+ in electrical soldering from BGA to SMD and all manner in between including automotive and AC. I have during that time I have also been a small manufacturer for the scrap metal industry and, seeing you work, I can give you one pretty good bit of advice I've learnt. After a light dry and preheat, start heating only from the bottom and feed solder in from only the top. Copper is an excellent conductor and doing it this way ensures everything it heated through enough for the solder to wick into the joint. It's also an absolute indicator because if the solder won't take from the top then you know the material is still too cold to make a solid joint. I hope this helps.

  • @davidgagnon4680
    @davidgagnon4680 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another tip: use female fittings on pieces that take the most effort to build. If you drop that liebig and mash the soft copper threads you need to replace the fitting. When you remove the bad piece you can heat the other joints and cause leaks. Best to make it so that is less likely to happen in the first place. And definitely use the ready made tee fitting that already has the reducer as previously suggested. Cheaper and easier!
