Nice video Brian. We are very aware that we lack in the area of instructional documents and videos. Working hard on getting a lot done in this area very soon.

Great video as always Brian. I realised today that I had only half watched this , so I rewatched the whole thing in full flow. I think it is fair to say that at first this system feels more complex than a normal homebrew system. I think it is key to give new users the advice of doing a trial run with just water. The pipework configurations and operation of this system is more akin to a smaller commercial set up. This is fantastic once you figure it all out but like you rightly point out there is a learning curve. My brews after this learning curve were sheer poetry in motion as the rest of the user base has found.

All I can say is I’m glad it was you and not me dealing with that system. Kind of makes me reminisce of the easy days of an extract brew on the stove. I’m glad things worked out in the end.

Thanks Brian for giving us this insights in your experience with that system. I am sure next time will be much better and more relaxed brew day for you! Thanks and cheers from Mallorca 🍻🤙🏻

Great video 🙂 i will look into adding a profile for smaller batches also and make it more clear which one to use.

Brian your production quality is outstanding!

Thanks for this Brian. I’ve done 2 brews on my B40 and several test runs and the counterflow chiller is driving me mad, so I’m glad you’ve exposed this in an otherwise beautiful bit of kit. It does take some getting used to but brewing is brewing and the beers I’ve made are still a bit green but taste great. I’m looking forward to your future productions.

Sounds like organized chaos. Great info!

Thanks for the info Brian. The system looks very nice. Can’t wait to see a live brew day of your new system! Cheers 🍻

Good video

To bad there’s no blooper real for those brews. I can feel the frustration on the learning curve. Love the video, honest review right there. It boils nicely. Cheers Brian 🍺🍻can’t wait to see the reviews on the beers 😎

Awesome video as always, may I have a recommendation for a future video. I have been a fan for years, and have watched the majority of your videos transitioning from your 3 vessel custom electric brewery to all of these modern homebrewing systems. I have a propane 3 vessel system and have taken a step back to single vessel biab indoors now for ease of cleaning and more accurate control, trying to emulate a bigger batch brewery looks neat but I realize comes with many headaches and labor for such a small batch volume return. With that, could you do a video on your experience between all of the different approaches and where you see the best experience and results presently. Cheers

Seems that you got one of the worst brew days ever, I haven’t had that problem with this unit myself, but I have watched a lot of videos and read much, so I was prepared. Cheers Brian! Nice tips for everyone.

Will wait for your next brewday on it before I part with my money 💰 😁

Cheers Brian. I can just see the panic when it all started to go wrong. Surely you could just hook up a hose for whirlpool the switch to chiller?

Very interesting video! With regards to my previous remark about the volume, I see now that it is very wide. It's not that tall but the large diameter is what gives the volume.

That mess does not sound like fun cleaning up. Sorry about your loss, but congrats on getting better.

Hey just a heads up on the brewfather recipe link above. I reckon there's a mistake in the grist.- There's over 10kg of grain for a 5%abv beer.

Interesting video mate it looks like a nice system tho what are your thorts ok on how the brewzilla 65l compares to the b80 i just ordered a brewzilla pretty good bang for back i recon. Cheers brian keep up the good work

OH NO! Brian made beer. We better go help him out. It sounds like he worked his tail off and may not be able to consume it all before the next brew day. At least he can count on us to help him out. There is nothing better than having friends who care enough to lend a hand to someone in need. :P Now I have to go and fix my immersion chiller after leaving it in the garage with water in it over the winter. If only I had Brian as a neighbor, he'd loan me a functional chiller so I could brew today. Cheers Buddy.

Nice introduction. I've been thinking of swapping out my Speidel system for BB80 Pro, but it sounds to me that these machines works very different and maybe the BB kit need some maturing

nice vid! I dont understand what went wrong by the first mistake. What does „the sparge stock“ (thats what im hearing) means?? thank you 🙂

RTFM...Read the "Fine" Manual. ;) I am surprised you don't have ventilation in your new brewery setup. Do you find it is generally not needed for indoor brewing? I brew 5 gal outdoors and 2.5 gal on my stovetop with the vent running.

Thanks for the video. Contemplating really hard on buying one of these. Are they going to sell this unit at a discounted rate once you are done testing it, or are you keeping this bad boy?

I reckon i'll stick to my tried and trusted 'herms' as big a footprint as it is. Still looks like a nicely built system though.

Hello , What do you think spiral aeration Brewtools? is it good to use it when placing in vats for good aeration before inoculation? or is it not necessary?

Who dislikes this? Good recap Brian

Do they have q good quality beer like 3 v3ssel systems?

Hello and thanks for the video. What no reviewer has mentioned is what the customs import duty charges are into USA. Could you provide that information?

Sad to hear you got so much trouble with the system. Will you have another go with it?

Are you going to post a full brew day video? I have almost been waiting to buy a BT system until I see a full brew day from someone I trust.

I am a little sad to hear that there has to be a specific crush on the grains... would turning down the recirculating percentage help at all, if I wanted to continue to use store bought crushed grain?

Why wouldn't you use Rice hulls? I never brew without them. Have never had a stuck sparge after hundreds of brew days.

I’ve never brewed anything before, would I be able to learn on this? I have a small boutique hotel, and I think it would be really cool if we made our own brand of beer. ✨😊✨ ✨🙏✨ *Thanks*

I'm curious as to why you didn't compare the SS Brewtech 1v 20 gal system? It's a bit cheaper than these options, but very similar in function.

Those "exciting" brew days sre a challenge but rewarding when you still get good beer. Ive always disliked the single vessel systems with the display/user interface attached to the body due to moisture etc and a touchscreen in a damp enviroment is a bad idea. A remote mount option for the control would make sense so you could hang it on the wall etc.

For the price, is this equipment worth the buy? I first learned about this kettle when watching David Heath and got excited until I saw the price. However, I watched Larry from Beer-N-BBQ, and other brewers, review the grainfather and figured it would be the cheaper way to go for an all-in-one system considering they all enjoyed using the unit. However, after doing some of my own research I have found mixed reviews for the grainfather with David Heath even saying that the new generation is not of the same caliber as when it was first introduced. He even went on to say that the connect controller has cord melting issues here in the US. Nevertheless, I want a system that will allow me to mash, sparge and drain without having to use a 3-tier system or 2 or more pumps. Like most, I simply don't have the room. What are your thoughts? I am sure you have used or witnessed several of the products that offer what B40 or B80 Pro can do. Cheers!

Which pump do you recommend under $80

It’s taking forever for my b80 to get to temps! 2 hours from 70f to 150. And another 2 hours to get to 206. Never got to 212. It’s my first time firing it up. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Sweet review. How'd the beer taste? 🍻

Harrybrew69 condensing unit required lol

Braumeister ?

It's more learning curve with brewfather than brewtools ^^

Crikey!

Hi I would like to review this product I'm from South Africa Could you help me to get in contact with the company?

It seems to me that you really need to start reading manuals ! :)

"sorry I don't have more video ... most of the time it was crisis mode" ... rofl .. welcome to my world of brewing

Only a few minutes in and I learned 2 things about this gentleman (im new to the channel). 1. he has his priorities right. Stop filming and save the beer 2. The first couple of tips are: Dont be an idiot like me. I'll keep watching and see how this turns out.

wenn man zu blöd ist ein gerät zu bedienen, sollte man(n) es lassen ;)

This is a bad case of RTFM (read the f****** manual)

More complicated than the moon landing 🤢
