For all those asking about the intro song....The original song could come back! The intro clearly needs to be shorter though. I have spent some hours looking for an intro for the 5 seconds. I have narrowed it down to five and now need to polish each one, including a cut of the original. Then I will make a short video featuring all 5 with a voting section. Let the viewers decide. It will be released very soon!

Ahh. I’ve just received my external filter from BacBrewing for my GF30. That means I no longer need the original hop-filter, and therefor I can whirlpool as David is showing in this video. I didn’t know the whirlpool wouldn’t work that well with false bottom. This was very enlightening! This mean, that - perhaps - the external filter was a good idea. 😎👍🏻 Thanks, David.

Thank you David for the new video and the new format. I will miss the music but the format is nice 😀 A few days ago I used the false botton (adquired in Aliexpress) for the first time and the result was very positive. I taked care with the depth and speed of paddle during whirlpool. however, I think it would be better if it were subject more stable, perhaps with a rod or a silicone ring. I think the whirlpool is more effective and comfortable to do with the new false bottom and of course the pump works much better. Congratulations for the Video and I repeat my thanks 👍🏼

Great to hear all round there Fernando. Good to hear that the false bottom is working well for you also. To me it should have been standard but it is a cheap upgrade anyway ! You can download the tune for free, It is a public domain tune by ”Dazie Mae” called ”Drink beer till the day that I die”. I had complaints from people about the song and the length of the intro. It does feel a little sad to change it but I've had the same intro for years and a change felt it order anyway :)

As usual, good video but it leaves me wondering. During the chilling process, how long and/or often do you suggest whirlpooling?

@DavidHeathHomebrew

The order is add last hops/end boil....whirlpool and let it stand 10-15 mins..chill. I whirlpool for 3-5 mins with a drill and paddle. Hope this answers you question but if not then let me know.

Hi David! I'm planning on reducing the size of Brewzilla 65L false bottom for my Klarstein Brauheld Pro 35L. Do you still recommend whirlpooling with false bottom or do you think the boiling wort itself is enough to gain all the hop oils and other goods necessary? Is it necessary to whirlpool flame out hop additions? My main goal would be to use the pump with hop heavy brews without stucking and I hope that false bottom is the way to go. I'm going to splice 6x8mm silicone hose around the false bottom to get a snug fit after cutting the plate to a smaller size.

It could be if you do not clean it properly but its easily done.

Last weekend I experimented with using the grain basket as a hop spider but that didn't work at all. The boil was nowhere near as vigorous as usual, the bottom of the basket didn't stay put so the hops all got away and then they got stuck on the outside of the basket. I'm not doing that again.

Hmm odd. I wonder if it is down to different sizes of the GF and the False bottom itself? If I had this then I would probably add something like silicone to it to get the fit better. I should think that would be easy to obtain.

I also saw this lifting happen during my boil. I noticed that David uses an "eyelit" in the middle of the false bottom, mine didn't come with one. I am just wondering if this helps with giving the plate some "weight"?

Yes it seems most lack the eyelet. You could find something to weigh it down with. Perhaps fixed to the legs underneath, though some have told me the silicone ring works just fine. Clearly FB and GF sizes do vary a little. Some are finding it a very snug fit and some not snug at all. Mine seems in the middle of the two.

Could be, though I think there is small variations in the sizing of both the FB and GF models. Most likely different factories used for both over time.

Start the wp after flame out. 5 mins is enough if you are using a drill.

I'm going to order a Brew Monk (robobrew) soon to brew my very first beer with and saw it's also an option to add a whirlpool arm that connects to the pump. Would that also be sufficient and worth the extra 20 euro? Another question. The brew monk has a capacity to make 30L, so if I'd brew the maximum amount, how big of a fermenter do I need for the primary? I already have 3 glass 15L carboys and some 5L ones that I use for brewing mead and could potentially use for the secondary. Mead doesn't foam much, but don't know what to expect with beer. I'm loving your channel btw! It has been very informative.

I bought the GF whirlpool paddle and a false bottom from a supplier in Norway. The false bottom is very light in weight and when I whirlpool it lifts up from the GF base and this disrupts the hops and they slip behind and end up on the base of the GF. I need to find something that weighs the false bottom down.

I have never had any success with whirlpooling. It whirlpool OK but I have never been sure why I have done it. On the very few occaisions that I have used pellet hops there was still hop mud all over the bottom of the GF. I have experience with vortex separation of solids from fluids. In my case the fluid was air and the vortex was formed around the shape of the vessel. Modern Vacuum Cleaners have the same principal. In the case of the GF Paddle, it rotates the fluid and forms a cone shape within it. Theoretically then as the rotation of the fluid slows the hop depis falls to the center of the induced cone. I have never felt like waiting the VERY long time for the rotation to stop and the debris fall to the bottom. After an hour one can still determine rotation. The problem is also that with modern vacuum packed dried hops they also have a high non-flower component (dust).

@DavidHeathHomebrew

5 жыл бұрын

You just need the solids to drop out. Cone is not required and really needs a larger brewing system to be seen.

@jamesgoacher2433

5 жыл бұрын

The Cone shape is characteristic of a vortex. It is a combination of circular momentum and gravity. Momentum is always conserved so the outer parts of the vortex rotate slower than the inner. The dust separating cyclone as on a modern vacuum cleaner has a physical cone, sometimes multiple cones of differing profile so the the particle size/mass range is greater. In our case the inner part of the vortex pulls the particles down to the centre where they eventuall lose velocity and gravity takes over. The outer part of the vortex is influenced by the enclosing body and simply rotating at a slower velocity attatched to the vessel wall and the particles drop out of suspension. I think the use of the term Whirlpool the Hops is an Urban Myth when all it is doing is mixing them into the wort. I saw a KZread video demonstrating the principle and large fluffy particles did indeed accumulate near the center of the vessel but Hop Pellets are fine compressed dust. I have whirlpooled and I have not whirlpooled and the difference in the result was minimal. The device is a good Aerator mind you.

Hi David, nice video again, thanks! I acquired the filter a couple of days ago and did the test with water.
