Excited to see the Clawhammer system on here! Have been in the market for an electric system a while now and it's good to see both systems I'm on the fence with (unibraü and Clawhammer) on the same channel
I used to get Weiss beer in Hoboken, NJ. It was lighter, and they coated the inside of the glass with raspberry syrup before pouring the beer. It was delicious.
@@kevinrich5312 I can't recall, but my sister probably remembers. I'll ask and reply if I get an answer. This was back in the late 1980s, so I suppose there's no guarantee the place is still there.
The Rogue Tomato Oh no problem. I was just wondering. I was a delivery driver down in Hoboken for a long time, and have been out of New Jersey for 15 years. Things have changed a lot lately. Thanks a lot
did anyone else think he was just going to chug that beer at 11:45 that cheeking grin seconds before makes me think that's what he had in mind, nvm he did it anyway
That system is soo cool. You really are much like the rest of us, always advancing in your technique, learning from mistakes. I have really enjoyed your videos. The system seems very much like the system High Gravity has been selling for several years. I have pieced my own electric system together with parts from many sellers, next is a brew basket. Thanks again
Awesome brew man! You may already be doing this but I have two recommendations when using an electric heating element. 1. Cover the outside connection with electrical tape and a beer koozie to prevent any liquid from splashing and ruining your element. 2. Cleaning - let the element sit in acid over night and make sure all protein residue is removed when you rinse it off to prevent scorching during your next brew. The acid bath will make cleaning go much faster! Cheers from Bandera Ale Project!
It's so awesome that you used the Clawhammer! I've done quite a few brews on mine, and I love it! After my next scheduled brew, I'd definitely try this one out.
I love Franziskaner and can’t get it easily where I live so I’m thinking I need to get back into brewing my own and compared to when I first brewed my own 30 years ago it seems there are lots of new equipment !
Love the work you are doing here. B roll and music cut together very well. I would love to dispell some myths about darker beers. As would a great deal of folk I would imagine. No they aren't more filling etc. Still love what you are doing!!
Martin, you should use decoction mash for those brews with high wheat content (beacouse of the low free amino acid content), and also to show to homberwers how that would work for small scale brews.
Great video as usual. It has become part of my Wednesday morning routine here in Australia to watch these videos before work. Great way to start the day, watching new brews I haven't done yet, great inspiration. Would be interested to hear your thoughts after brewing and tasting on any changes from the first recipe if you were to brew it again.
Careful if you use coco nibs with a plate chiller, they have little seeds that can clog the plate chiller. If you're going to use them or other spices put them in a bag, that way you can just remove the bag with the spices and etc so they don't clog your plate chiller. I did notice that the kettle did have a filter that should keep them out but just be aware if you use a plate chiller that it can happen.
Funny! I was listening this podcast the other day in which Kyle from Clawhammer was a guest. Awesome guy, interesting story! But he mentioned that he was "giving away" his system to anyone who makes great brewing content on TH-cam and honestly, you were the first the came to mind for me. I wondered when Martin would suddenly switch to a Clawhammer Supply system and apparently today is the day! Haha Seems like a very good system! I'd buy it. But I would anyway. I've known about it for some time now.
You can still get a stuck mash, even if it drains. You want the liquid to run *through* the grains, not around them. If it's too gummy you'll lose efficiency.
That system have a pump! Use that to transfer the wort to the fermentation bucket, you did sterilize pump and chiller etc befor chilling = pump it to the bucket, no need of a syphon... I do have to say that this system sounds more expensive than the all-in-one systems...
Yeah getting the beer in would be ok using that method. I was more concerned about getting the beer out of the bucket post fermentation without a syphon.
Hello, What boiling rate (Gal or Lt/Hr) and mash efficiency do you get on the Clawhammer supply equipment? I am really thinking on getting one and I am trying to get all the facts beforehand. Great job with the videos, I love them!
Thank you. I’m just using the standard boil off rate in the Clawhammer BeerSmith profile (on their site). I get around 68% brewhouse efficiency for most beers.
Great video Martin, may I ask what your fermentation schedule was? Did you do anything funky like start at 17c, rise 1c per day until 20c then ferment out?
Hi I just see the vid about the tilt please help I would like to get the tilt But I have carboys how do you get the tilt out of the carboy if I have beer in it as the neck is to small to put my hand in ??????
Just wondering how long it took for you to get to fermentation temperature with that plate chiller? Also, what temp, typically, is your water at? Thanks!
Hi Martin, do you use Beer Smith, if so, do you have the equipment profile for this system? I have the Clawhammer 120 10 gal system...would like to fine tune the profile to get better efficiency. Thanks.
Why did you went for clawhammer? I own a grainfather but want a more simple system and i was looking at clawhammer and the unibrau. Greetings from holland.
Viewed this last week, but didn't have time to comment. I've been challenged to a 'brew day' to produce a Vanilla/Coffee Porter and thinking of using Tonka Beans (bit of brewing bling). Have you ever used them and if so, what amount per litre? Question open to all :-) Cheers Martin
Hot side aeration at the homebrewing volume isn't really a thing. I believe the guys at brulosophy did an experiment on this topic. brulosophy.com/2014/11/18/is-hot-side-aeration-fact-or-fiction-exbeeriment-results/
I don't have the claw hammer but I do use a dimensionally similar propane system, with a grain basket. Works good for 3 gallon batches, but not well for one gallon batches because there's about 1 gallon of dead space at the bottom from the legs of the basket
Love your videos, glad you get to try the clawhammer brew system. That being said: your guest taster on this one (Evan? Ethan?) does not match your style IMHO. Chugging a pint of dunkel Weise? Are you 17? I think your other tasters suit your channel better. Sláinte!
Clawhammer Supply + The Homebrew Challenge, the TH-cam crossover we've all been waiting for.
This is so true!
FOR REAL! 😱 my flip when I saw claw hammer
I hope you do a colab with the guys from clawhammer ! That would be epic to see !
Martin Keen the brewing machine!!! I love this series! Very inspirational to make more beer. I'm definitely trying this one

The Challenge: Great music, great footage and not to forget, great beer. Love it!

The Rogue Tomato Where in Hoboken was that?

We have the 240 volt 20 gallon system. Great system to brew on

Well done review of the clawhammer system! And very nice looking dunkel weissbier! German beers are my favorite and it's awesome to see you brew them.
@12:15 the other guy is good at simply explaining his expression of taste comparing to the other lady. Bring him in more often please.
Thanks. He'll be back!
I have been wanting one of the clawhammer bib system for awhile..stimulus check here I come 🤣
Banana is ester, but cloves are phenols.
I'd love to try it so I'll have to make it
I have really wanted to buy that system. Thanks for the video.

Hi Martin I always been enjoying watching your video's. Great content and amazing music. Keep up the good job mate all the best...
Thank you 🍻
Just subscribed. I think what you're doing is great! I'm looking at getting into the Clawhammer System to begin my home brewing journey.
Thank you.

Great series! This is a style I haven't brewed yet. I love stouts and enjoy a good hefe. This sounds like a good one for me to try. Cheers!

Im very happy with mine wish they had the 220v when i bought mine
I'm looking to purchase the big 20 gal clawhammer setup. I'll be using your link for sure
Thanks!
You really need to watch the Clawhammer channel and it will help explain some of the issues you are having on transferring!
Thanks !
Martin why you are always without information on how much water is needed per recipe?
Thank god for closed caption, that music is like a knife in my ears.

Thanks for thinking of me :-) Do you recall which podcast that was?
@@TheHomebrewChallenge Yes it was the Making it in Asheville podcast.
makingitinasheville.com/podcast/
Awesome video like always! I think you could have skipped on the rice hulls with the BIAB setup though?
Yeah I don’t know. Have always used rice hulls with wheat beers but maybe not needed when using a mash basket?
You can still get a stuck mash, even if it drains. You want the liquid to run *through* the grains, not around them. If it's too gummy you'll lose efficiency.
I don't know why you would give up a Unibräu system for a Clawhammer system. IMO the Unibräu is a better system TBH
I was about to ask the same question. Why the switch in system?
Looks like he was loaned or given a Clawhammer system to use and provide honest feedback on his processes and experience using their system.
Oh hey! Clawhammer gang in the house!
How do you like it?
Songs about "keepers" and "one true love"...I take it you like the new system?
Lol. Hadn’t noticed that. Subliminal perhaps?
Martin, great videos! Any thoughts on adding water profiles to your videos?
That system have a pump! Use that to transfer the wort to the fermentation bucket, you did sterilize pump and chiller etc befor chilling = pump it to the bucket, no need of a syphon...
I do have to say that this system sounds more expensive than the all-in-one systems...
Yeah getting the beer in would be ok using that method. I was more concerned about getting the beer out of the bucket post fermentation without a syphon.
you should try the braumister brew system 20L
Not modular
Why the change in system? And of course a " which do you like better?" comparison :)
please add the "why the change" Martin
Wish there was a way to turn the music off. Just a bit distracting.
Why the switch from the Unibrau?
Man you've really shot for darker colors than I'm used to seeing for these styles.
Some of it may also be the filming, beer always looks darker on camera than in reality
@@JohannesReppin Good to know. That hasn't been my experience but I suppose it there are a lot of variable that go into it. Cheers!
thinking of making a dunkleweiss using oly400 for the yeast
any guidance / opinion

How did the 240v system work in the UK please bud
I will gladly take your old kit off your hands... :).. ill start my own 99 week challenge with it..like a pay it forward 'your next'
Thanks for including the recipe in the description but how much water is this for?
Great video Martin, may I ask what your fermentation schedule was? Did you do anything funky like start at 17c, rise 1c per day until 20c then ferment out?
Gosh no - just kept it steady then cold crashed. The lazy approach 😃
Hi I just see the vid about the tilt please help I would like to get the tilt But I have carboys how do you get the tilt out of the carboy if I have beer in it as the neck is to small to put my hand in ??????
Just wondering how long it took for you to get to fermentation temperature with that plate chiller? Also, what temp, typically, is your water at? Thanks!
About 15 mins. Ground water in the 50Fs
@@TheHomebrewChallenge - how does this compare to your immersion? i'm looking to make the swap myself to reduce endless stirring on brew day!
Hi Martin, do you use Beer Smith, if so, do you have the equipment profile for this system? I have the Clawhammer 120 10 gal system...would like to fine tune the profile to get better efficiency. Thanks.
Just curious if you've had any success using the grain basket as a hop spider while using this style of system?
Why did you went for clawhammer? I own a grainfather but want a more simple system and i was looking at clawhammer and the unibrau.
Greetings from holland.
Hi,nice item👍 questionnaires: what is the amount of water you start with and how much water do you sparge after? thank you for your response. Marc

why no dark wheat malt?
The recirculation on the top of the kettle will not give a chance for oxydation of the hot side ?
Hot side aeration at the homebrewing volume isn't really a thing. I believe the guys at brulosophy did an experiment on this topic.
brulosophy.com/2014/11/18/is-hot-side-aeration-fact-or-fiction-exbeeriment-results/
Is this a permanent (for a while) switch to Clawhammer?
New challenge - 99 beers on 99 systems? Ha, yeah sticking with this system for a while.
can i have your old system?
Rice hulls.... so its no german wheat beer anymore...
Would it make sense to brew smaller batch?
I don't have the claw hammer but I do use a dimensionally similar propane system, with a grain basket. Works good for 3 gallon batches, but not well for one gallon batches because there's about 1 gallon of dead space at the bottom from the legs of the basket

Das ist kein Weißbier. Es ist ein schwarzes Bier
