Great review, looking at entering all grain brewing and I think you may have sold me on the Guten

@@DrHansBrewery Have you? :) I bought a Guten 70 after watching your videos last year (and a distributor had a discount at the same time here in Denmark), and I've been very happy with it. I have another similar system that is 30L and since you mentioned the pump in this video (I took a glance at it again now that you replied), it is indeed very good. The pump seems quite powerful/better dimensioned compared to other systems I've tried where it would often clog up. Either because it wasn't powerful enough or because of the way the pump was built, I'm not not. My only criticisms are: the temperature probe can be stuck in a bed of trub and hops and thus it can be difficult to correctly know the temp of the wort as you're chilling it and it would be nice if the ends of the chiller fitted through holes in the lid (with silicone gaskets to seal it) because when I'm brewing here in the country side in the summer there *will* be flies...

Excellent review , donated just now, buys some more hops :)

Thank you

I bought one of these (the brewster beacon 70L) just to use for mashing my stouts 😅 (then I transfer to my GF30 which has a condenser lid) Most of them are super cheap and works as advertised, just get the variant that fits your need and you'll be super happy.

Another wonderful video. You had mentioned about having a lot of iron in your water. I'm wondering if it causes an issue with the quality or flavor of your beer. I have the same issue here in Minnesota. I've added an iron filter to my home water conditioning/softening system but I can still taste iron on my kitchen cold water line which is only filtered and not softened. I've considered brewing a batch of beer as an experiment to see how it turns out. If it's not as good as I had hoped, I'll add a filter to the kitchen cold line. I'm interested in your experiences and thoughts. Thank you & keep up the great work!

Might have to do some videos about that.

Good video. I have the GF70 and really like it, upgraded from the G30. It’s what I know and I’m in NZ. I want to see you take it to 11 and brew with 19kg. 👍

Cool, It's on the to do list

With the brewtools b80 you will be able to use up to 6000watts of power since it uses two cables and you can plug it into two different curcits and changing the powersettings is easily done in the touchscreen menu

Been using my guten 70 about a year as well. I made a jacket out of high density foam sleeping mat, made a big difference, the lid clips help hold it on. I find the sight glass a pain to clean any tips? Put a towel on the lid as well to insulate that during mash and Holst ramping temperatures. The counterflow chiller does help and I whirlpool via the tap as well. Efficiency reduces for high gravity beers but that happens with most systems. I've done a few high gravity and partigyles as well which came good. I brew indoors and use a condenser I macgyvered, reduces wattage on boil and boil off loss. Not had a boilover yet but don't brim it like you do.

Thanks, might have to MacGyver an insulation as you did, cause it's so slow.

Love to see you try mashing spirit?

Thinking of getting a brewzilla 35L. Doing my own sorghum malt Gluten free beers.

Grym kanal! Är nybörjare har kört ett tag gryta med biab nu ett tag. Tänkte slå till nu under Blackweek på ett bryggverk. Har väl fastnat för Brewzilla 35 eller Grainfather S40 vad skulle du rekommendera?

Max it and yes try Fermenting in it as well, why not a wheat beer, open fermentation?

New to this and I bought this one with the copper cooler from klarstein (I think it's the same one under another name) I didn't sub and won't be watching your other vids as being new I defo don't need help. Kidding aside the process (temps beer types, hops, then fermenting process) all seems complicated. What ales ales are a good start etc etc.

This could actually be a video idea.

Nasty comment 😂! Is there a difference end taste in sparge water temperature (95c,75c,45c). Generic brewing system is a generic system. The interesting part is the pump, the mash screens and filters do that they dont get clogged. Good content!

@mrkesu

As far as I've read there is no taste difference in sparge temperature (at least below ~80C), but there seems to be a practical difference. When you use cold water the efficiency will suffer, or you'll have more issues with it being stuck or slow. This is sugar, so think of it like cold vs warm honey. Warm honey can flow down easily, while cold honey will be hard and not move at all. Probably the same principle going on with cold vs. hot sparge water.

Thanks! This is a good explanation. 👍

Few hours in oxy, pbw or caustic will clean that gunky hop spider.

Max out the grain! I'm a coward so I've not done it on my Beacon 70L yet.

I find all in one systems insufficient for large beers in full volume. If you're aming for the >10% abv beers you need a larger mash tun than wort kettle. In all in one it is the other way around. I use a 50 l isolated plasic tun with a false bottom to mash to my old G30. If step mashing I filter back in the kettle on full effect and then pump it on top of the mash. Stiring and measure temperature manually. Your system has a maximum of 18 kg malt and you get 62 l post boil. We assume 80% extract in the malt and 70% efficiency filled up. Efficiency drops when the system is full. This gives you 18 x 0,8 x 0,7/62 = 16,2% approx OG at 1,065. That will be a maximum abv at 7-8%. Good for most brewing, but not for those quads, tripple IPA, Barley wine, imp stout. On the other hand, an upgrade to a 70l system from 30l is just perfect. 25-30 l is a good volume for a normal homebrewer. Fills a standard homebrew fermenter. So with a larger system you can make large beers in a decent volume, for a brew days work.
