Clawhammer 10 gal Mash Tun Review : Is It Good?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I have been using the Clawhammer 10 gal starter brewing kit for a long time now. Now that I am used to its ins and outs I thought I would record an overview with my thoughts. The pros and cons and how it relates Vs something like a Grain father.

    I bought that same pot. I love it. I bought it mainly for the strainer basket and size. I made my 1st corn mash in 2 five gal. pots on the stovetop in my house using brew bags. What a nightmare. Never in the house again. This pot makes it much easier. Looked into many other options but I couldn't find a suitable stainless mesh strainer. I'm glad to hear the basket holds up.

    The robobrew/brewzilla systems works great as a all grain BIAB system on a budget, and you can get a distillation lid to attach a 2" tower easily. This then becomes your brewing equipment for all grain beer or mash recipes, as well as your boiler for an electric controlled still. The clawhammer supply stuff is great, but for my the decision was made when it works as both devices for half the price of one.

    Hey this is kinda off topic but I thought I should share the info.. in making my rum wash i failed to check the ph before I pitched the yeast. Well after a month, i checked on it and learned nothing had fermented. So thats when I learned my ph was like 4.3. So i thought that using baking soda would help correct that, and it did but not till after I had a frickin volcano eruption (think 6th grade science class). Ya made one hell of a mess. So, if you have this issue, baking soda works to correct ph, but introduce it slowly.

    Do you manage to get clear beers? I find that if I either mix too much or press or anything during the mash like that I extract too much starch and it hazes the beers.

    Also, I may note: I ferment strictly on the grain. After looking at a lot of big distilleries that ferment on the grain, I noticed their grain was always extremely lacking of any liquid left. We all know that draining will never produce grain with that low liquid volume. That's what lead me to getting the fruit press

I'm down in kiwiland too so I guess the freight for one of those would cost as much as the unit itself. Do you know how the big guys do it? Is there a method that could be adapted to smaller setups?

Does the pot come ready to just hook up the heating element if you wanted to use it for distilling using a PID? Does it come with the condenser?

    Too much money for what it is. Used keg (+/-$50) false bottom $40. Flip keg upside down and cut the opening in the bottom to fit a lid that you have already of go to a restaurant supply for one. Use your still for strike water and fly sparge right into fermentor for single malt and if you really want to sterilize fly sparge into your still. Bourbon is a different animal all together and jimbos bourbon recipe/technique can be done in the same vessel just remove the false bottom.
