Compared to traditional mashing in a pot on a burner, brewing in this kettle is pure pleasure. Only the bazooka filter is inefficient, it becomes clogged quickly and the filtration method after hopping should be modified, especially when using granules. I recommend the product.

The system is like in typical Grainfather boilers, only cheaper, I considered it my 8th boiler (and 1 in this boiler), but in manual mode, and I had to get used to the equipment to check if it was doing what it was supposed to do, so on the plus side: - automatic heating for a specific time - the magnetic pump stirs itself, thanks to which a higher efficiency of malt is obtained - after heating, it is easy to remove the malt to the shelf inside the boiler and by pouring water, the rest of the mash is removed, leaving only the husks - the possibility of automatic setting of the entire process Disadvantages: - the temperature sensor shows 2 degrees lower (this is a constantly high temperature, so it is easy to adjust and does not pose a problem) - no cooling spiral included in the set (it is not required, but it improves the taste of the brew) - the bazooka filter is too short and clogs easily despite the ones used bags for granulated hops, I had to help him a little Overall rating: It's great, you don't have to stand at it like you would at a pot, stirring and controlling the temperature, when weighing the next batch I set the automatic mode and go watch the series :)

Ok, I've only used the device twice so far, but it did exactly what it was supposed to. Excellent! Since I initially had a few problems with the device and then had to replace it, I can also say that the support is flawless and friendly. All in all, a well-rounded affair. I'm already looking forward to more brewing days because this device makes it a lot easier and I can then test it further. But I can still say that the device is well to very well made, the pump runs well and the temperature is maintained.
IntroductionI started brewing beer for private use every now and then at the beginning of 2021. Registration with customsTo do this, I first registered the project with customs. 200 liters are tax-free for private use in Germany. You report this to the responsible customs office.Motivation I started this with a pot and fermentation bucket. That's fine, but now I wanted it to be more comfortable. I looked into various brewing kettles and chose this kettle. Since we only brew for private purposes every now and then, the 30 liter version is sufficient. Packaging The kettle arrives at home very securely packed. Some assembly parts such as the mash tube are located at the top below the lid. Here you will also find the operating instructions (multilingual).The installation is easy.TechnicalThe filling quantity in liters and gallons (US) is stamped into the kettle. This makes it easier to fill in the water in a targeted manner. The inner bucket in which the spent grain is located can be hung in a ring at the top edge using a rotating movement. This makes lautering easier. The wort is sucked out into the bottom and then comes out laterally in the pipe. At the top there is a valve through which the flow is adjusted. The wort is then pumped via a hose through a hole in the glass lid and everything is constantly in motion. Which brewing steps does the kettle take over? The kettle takes over the entire brewing process from the first heating to the end of the wort boiling. The programming unit is used for the process. Here you can save 9 recipes with 9 steps each. The recipes have numbers and you write down in a list which number means what. Alternatively, you can also brew manually. As soon as the mash is boiled, the machine automatically signals the addition of hops. Once the wort boiling is finished, a cooling loop is inserted into the kettle. Ours has 10 loops. Then the wort cools down to 30 degrees to 20 degrees in about 30 minutes with the largest filling quantity. Now you let the wort drain through the tap into the fermentation bucket and fermentation begins. So you have your hands free and the process runs automatically. The temperature can be adjusted in 0.1 C/F degree increments and the heating power in 100 W increments. The parameters you work with are heating power, time and temperature. The control works very precisely and you get a repetitive brewing result. You don't necessarily always have to fill the kettle full, you can also brew smaller quantities. Follow-up costs In addition to the kettle, you need a cooling scoop. We have a hop bag or sieve with 10 loops and a diameter of 26 cm. You add the hops here when boiling the mash. This saves the hop sludge in the kettle and makes cleaning easier. If necessary, cover the outside of the kettle with an insulating mat. This keeps the boiler temperature more constant. ConclusionYou get a brewing system at home that can brew up to 25 liters of beer in one go. The brewing process is automated until fermentation. The workmanship is very clean, everything is in perfect order.

The machine is of good quality but following my first brew, the gasket at the bottom of the tank burned. I can no longer use the tank without this seal and I don't know where to find one. Please help me!
