  • Note: in some cases the blue lever for the mash pump (6:15 in the video) should not be fully open. Especially with sticky mashes involving rye and wheat, this can lead to the mash liquid rising to the top of the kettle. In such cases, adjust the blue lever to reduce the flow.

    "When I was a beginning brewer I stressed a lot about grain bills." So true. I did the exact same, adding 5-6 different kinds of malt to try and get that one specific profile. Keep it simple, beginner brewing advice EVER.

      One of my first beer I did a bitter but added to much roasted malt. Tasted like a stout.

    Your pump appears to be getting clogged because your overflow tube in the centre is getting mash down it. The tube extension is to prevent this.

    Good video, I'm thinking of getting one of these. I already know I'm going to be hating the 0.1C increments in temperature setting. Not that it's going to be that inconvenient by the looks of it, but just for the utter redundancy.

    At 5:15 you put the filter upside down into the kettle. It does not make any sense that the handles are on the top, the whole filter should be at the bottom of the kettle

      there are 2 filters with this system, a bottom one and a top one. The one with handles goes on top

    Is there a reason why you didn't use full power for your mash? Purely an energy saving thing or something else?

    Can you fit the brewzilla false bottom screen into the base to replace the bazooka filter? I’ve heard of people fitting it to the grainfather as it has the same tiny filter

    5/5 video. Do you recommend brew monk? How many batches have you done with it? I'm about to buy one.

      @mister.snrubb  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I have brewed about 20 batches with it and am fairly satisfied. I would recommend it, unless you have the money to buy a fancier version.

    Is the malt pipe supposed to overflow during the mash?

    • @mister.snrubb
      @mister.snrubb  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, but if you use a lot of rye, oats, wheat or other "gummy" grain that can happen. In this case turn the blue lever to reduce the flow.

    Pump gets cogged becasue you omit the bazooka.

      The bazooka doesn't affect to pump. It's only for output when you are moving stuff to fermentation.

      @@lauriperala6928 Ok. I had mypump clog up with grain in my home made system but a screen filter like what you put in boats and caravans in line cleared that right up so I thought maybe that's what the bazooka was for.
