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

Recipe....Easy going brewday today. Made a 120l batch of rooibos raspberry Belgian with 32kg oh grain and everything went fine. I could even do other stuff during mash, boil and cooldown. Started at 9, finished at 15. it’s one of my favorite recipes from the bm20, scaled up and added some malted oats, because I had them, I love the smell and I guess it adds a bit of body. #homebrew #homebrewing #homebrewingexperience #homebrewer #brewtools #brewtoolsb150pro #brewfatherapp #brewfather #belgianbeer #fruitbeer #rooibosbeer #safale #safalebe256 #brewday #brewdays #homebrewingrecipes #swisscraftbeer #swisscraftbeers #heimbrauen (hier: Pratteln, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAp8Z7VJoFV/?igshid=6vhmxsu614jp

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
