I had my last 5 batches tested, so I can make legally correct labels. What can I say. There’s some serious beers incoming. 😂🍻 I am pretty happy with the results. Apart from the rauchbier, that went way to high. But those numbers give an idea of where you end up with the bt150 and about 100l of bottled beer if ou Max out mash capability. #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #homebrewnumbers #strongbeer #strongbeers #stout #barleywine #saisonbeer #rauchbeer #rauchbier #belgiantriple #shrinkbrew (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBSRzwPpkI-/?igshid=1kz6iu52tvfk1

New parts. I have to find out yet how to connect this to the lower inside output (sparge tube) of my b150pro to wash kegs in the mashtun. I might have overseen to order a connecting part? #cip #cleaninplace #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #kegcleaning #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingonly #homebrewery #homebrewingexperience #picobrewery (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXRNEippFa/?igshid=egijju11w2i7

Couldn’t finish cooling down last brewday until I had to pick up the kids from daycare. So I left a Slow whirlpool going for 3.5 hours and did the transfer when they were in bed. This was the result. Never saw such an impeccable hopcone before 😂🍻 #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewingonly #homebrewery #homebrewer #homebrewingexperience #homebrewstories #hopcone #hopcones #brewporn #whirlpool #beerwhirlpool #stoutporn #stout #darkforce (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CANcph1JqNV/?igshid=1u71hxy61gzy6

Another issue with such a thick mash that is always on the limit to becoming stuck is that there is little circulation flow through the malt pipe and therefore quite a temperature gap between top and bottom. I therefore mashed very long and stirred often. #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #homebrewing (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_iXiC8ppXr/?igshid=b1ue4pccl8tq

Soooo.... barleywine brewday went.... ok. I expected problems and I got some, but i ended up with 90l of 18plato/ 1.74og in the fermenter. That is about 2% alcohol less than calculated ( 12kg strawberries are yet to enter in secondary that also add some sugar). Main issue: it was too much grain and too little water. When I shortly left for 15‘ the water piled up and the heater got exposed, caramelizing some wort. E.g. burning. There I added 10l of water and with a very minimal upflow and mainly circular flow I found a fragile balance. The rice hulls did not help enough. I think next time I will do a double mash, with 25kg of grain each portion. I wanted to see what is possible and ok it works but not very good. It needs constant supervision, regulating the flow. But I have 90l of 18plato wort in the fermenter, so that’s fine. #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewer #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #thickmash #strongbeer #barleywine #barleywineale #stuckmash (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_iW9j4JSgC/?igshid=i48rm20luset

Massive mash on the way. Should become a 14% barleywine. Put 37kg of grain (2 kg of it being ricehulls) with 85l of mash water. Let’s see the tolerance margin of this maltpipe capacity 😳🤭😬🧐 #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #brewingequipment #mashday #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewfanatic #homebrewingonly #homebrewery #homebrewer #homebrewingexperience #homebrewporn #homebrewstories #nanobrew #nanobrewery #nanobrewing #picobrew #picobrewery #picobrewing #brewday #brewdays #brewdaysarethebestdays #swisscraftbeer #craftnotcrap #beerbrewing (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hIMHJlQB5/?igshid=1xh4s23fe6ke4

Hey @brewtools , I have a little suggestion: make that interface screen detachable, at least on this big system. I am old and hate to crawl on the floor each time I Programm it or change a parameter. 😘😉#brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_hFwOglxlN/?igshid=1ol2ffnb8azsi

Great short brewday today. Milled the grains yesterday. Filled the bt150 with 67degree tap water at 6.20am, mashed in at 6.30am, then a 4step mash, lautered at 8.30am, pitched yeast at 12.00. plus 30‘ cleaning, right now it’s ciping. 35kg malts plus 1.5kg saccharose ended with 110l wort in the fermenter at 16.5plato. I like the Sparge with this machine a lot. Keeping a stable liquid level at mashing still is the trickiest part. Maybe I use to much grain. But the water still tends to pile up above the grain (see images). Will try rice hulls next. It works but I don’t dare to leave it alone for more than 10‘. And chilling takes about 75‘, so a bigger chiller would be handy for this amount of wort. But hey, 6hours for a whole brewday is pretty awesome and efficiency is quite ok too. Chose to use a bucket/plug airvalve this time because of the last brewday. Safale b256 plus oxygenated Wort had a lot of power last time. Inline oxygenation works great now... I really start to get a feeling about how to play that machine. #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #homebrewing #homebrew #homebrewfanatic #homebrewery #homebrewer #homebrewingequipment #homebrewingtips #homebrewingbeer #bierbrauen #swissbeer #swisscraftbeer #craftbeer #brewday #brewdays (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_FKnv9pxZU/?igshid=19ajvi8wlkf6p
