Wow! That device really looks spectacular. It does just about EVERYTHING. Solves soo many nagging issues at every brew day. Great walkthrough too.

NOTE FOR THOSE IN AU and NZ :- According to the manufacturer they hope to have Brewtools into both countries between June to August this year. It is being worked out now. :)

Falling in love with this system already, wow!

Great video, David. I've had 9 batches so far on my launch edition B80 pro, with the strongest batch being 65 liters fermentor volume with OG of 1.112. Used 31 kilos of malt for this brew, naturally this was a reiterated mash. It's a joy to use this equipment. Produces clear wort, and with some smart setup of hoses and chiller, kettle loss can be minimized. Only lost 1.5 liters to the kettle this sunday, which was mostly gunk that I didn't want anyway (used muslin bags for the hops). Love the option of the temperature monitoring on CFC return, saves a lot of time and water to just turn that valve when the temperature is right, rather than have to wait for the entire volume to get chilled to pitch temperature. The pump is powerful enough to create lots of aeration when transferring through the counterflow chiller to the fermentation vessel.

Great review! Got the b80pro myself and I love it! 😍

Another great video full of infomation and funny to boot

Man, you are at the epicenter of Kveik nation and also have Brewtools right in your backyard. Did you win the lottery twice?? I can’t wait to see more in-depth brewing videos highlighting all of the features of this awesome new system.

Thanks for the great review. I looking forward to upgrading to the BrewTools b80pro! Thanks

Man!! That is am awesome looking system! Can't wait 'til I get my hands on it to do a review! Definitely high quality engineering AND manufacturing! Thanks for the primer David! Cheers! 👍🍻 P. S. Tell the shower gel to keep quiet!! Lol

Amazing stuff!

Great video! Thanks

Very reasonable shipping from Norway as well! I can't wait to see a guide video on this unit!

Thank you David for that review! I think it's one of the best systems out there. Now need to save some coins for it... 😉

Wow! It looks like an absolutely brilliant system! It's too big for me but if I eventually move to a bigger place I would certainly be interested in upgrading. Competition is great and hopefully this will kick Imake's backside to develop the Grainfather further. Not that it's a bad system now but there are surely things that can be improved upon, as this system shows. Also, great video as usual! I like the small thought bubbles, it's a cute touch!

Thank you! I would love to see a brewing recipe writing guide for a Scottish Ale from you. :) That would be very much appreciated. Btw, you saved my brew day with your tips on how to blow out the hops from the Grainfather if the pump/filter is stuck during the transfer to carboy. I cleaned the spring/ball, then I had to use a bike pump the blow out the filter. It worked! Sincere thanks and appreciation.

The ultimate brewing dream for me. Time to buy a lottery ticket :)

Top review ... subscribed and liked...

Thanks for the review. On another topic, do you have a video that deals with sparge water temperature? Wondering if it is necessary to heat sparge water to the mash temp or a bit cooler is OK? I get water at about 50 degrees out of the home tap. Is it just a time saving measure in terms of reaching boil temperature more quickly? Looking forward to your wisdom on this topic. Thanks

David, Nice review of the Brew Tools system. Do I understand correctly that for sparging you would need an additional source of hot water (HLT)?

Thanks David very good video ☺ I look forward to see you brew a Belgian trippel on this 👍👍👍

I really like my 80L system, its not difficult to understand how this system works. Thanks for the review.

What an amazing system! Great info David, many thanks for the video. Daft question but I suppose it’s a lot more expensive than my Grainfather?

Hey David. Ive been brewing for a few years and I'm looking to make the change from Malt brewing on a stove to a dedicated system. This thing looks epic and is well within my price range. I was looking at 3 Vat systems and 2 Vat systems and those range to about a little more than twice the price of these. I was wondering. Would your recommend this to me to start serious brewing indoors?

I support this video. :)

do you have any links to alternate setups for this system and the accessories that could allow further customization?

Hi David do You think that its possible to put hop missle somewhere? Thank You

David do you have the link to the Facebook page you mentioned with other people’s setups?

Great review, compare to other systems it’s very flexible and most important you can replace broken parts.

Thanks for this very informative video. This system is roughly the same price as a Braumeister 20+ but looks much more modular, if I had the money I'd probably go for the Brewtools.

What are your thoughts on the brewha system? Looks like you can get the same setup from home use to really big ...

David, I am on the verge of buying a new 5 gallon batch system. Two additional questions based on your use of both units: 1.) are you comfortable with the overall grain holding, mashing process in the BrewTools unit versus the Grainfather, 2.) would you be comfortable with buying what appears to be the version 1 of the BrewTools versus version 3 of the Grainfather? Thanks in advance for your experience.

how long does it take to go from mash temp to boiling on the 40L system?

Hi David, thank you for this and the many other great videos. I think it's great how factual, informative and humorous your videos are, big thumbs up to you. I want to buy the Brewtools B80, but have read some massive reviews in German forums and wanted to ask if you have had similar problems. One of the main problems seems to be caused by poor recirculation across the mash bed. This leads to poor efficiency (50%). Remedy seems to be a 20 min pump break at mash-in temperature, as well as rice hulls. However, this does not fit all recipes.... Have you had similar experiences or have you found a suitable cure? Another problem is probably also caused by poor recirculation: Some users report a temperature gradient of up to 7°C in the malt basket. In my point of view, this is unacceptable and leads to non-reproducible results. What experiences have you had with regard to this? Thanks a lot and have a pleasant week.

From looking at local (Norway) prices and converting, double the price of a Grainfather will be in the ballpark for the 40L, with the 80L about 30% more. No doubt more favourable in price in the EU though. The 80L system would be tempting. Pity the control panel seems to be down near the floor, though.

Hello, what size fermenter do you recommend for a B40 pro?

It would be great if you could do in depth brewing guide on the system. I would be eager to see the whole process start to finish on.

I think it's worth buying before my marriage will happen! Mr. Heath, I'd like to know if there are main differences between brewtools and brewing on a grainfather? Appart from the price, all I figured out, was that if you pay a little more for some extras, it will be much easier to clean the system? Is the Grainfather controller in any way "better"? Since I'm very interested in brewing my own beer, I'm watching many (if not all) of your videos, and I'd like to say thank you! Your calm manner to explain your videos, makes it much easier for non English natives to follow the narrative.

So the 80 liter system would be horrible for 5 gallon batches ?

Nice video again David. That element looks like a bugger to clean though. How did it go for you? 🍻

Hey Dave, when are we going to see a brew day on the Brewtools unit??

Must admit, very impressive. Was saving for a SPEIDEL Braumeister, but this has got me thinking. The reason for my choosing a SB, is that it can brew with several hop stages, of different durations and temperatures. Can the Brewtools do the same?

Hi David you obviously rate this system highly. I am having trouble obtaining one. What would your second choice be. Disregarding price.

For the US is this a 120v or 220v system. Thanks!

Where can you buy this in Canada

The question will be - this - or a 500l system.. muhahaha. Thanks david. Love it! If my GF ever dies or if I upgrade (which I think I will, 1 keg/brewday just doesn't cut it anymore already) I think this will be my go to

Nice Video like all of the videos you made . Isn´t it a problem when so much oxygen comes in the worth while it is sprinkeling? Is it possible to set the output to the same level of the worth in the basket to prevent it. Greets and a hug from distance because of C******* from Germany

They spelled "Continuously" wrong (alarm setting)

B150pro Brewing vs Braumeister 50L ?

Do they do a trade-in for a used GF ? :-)

i contacted the manufacturer and they told me the unit cant be operated in automatic or in recepie mode.

awesome video thanks David, if only they posted them to Australia , would sell thousands i think

Which one is better? Grainfather or Brewtools?

It's a nice introduction video, but kind of light. Most of the images are coming from the official website. I was hopping to have more details on its usage. How long it take to boil, how well work each element, how do you sparge, how do you work with all those valves, how easy it is to clean, are the extra money from a brewzilla worth it, recipes mode, how easy it is to clean, what are the cons?...

Great merit video ad usual. From what I see they aren't mad priced. 1750€ for 80l? U won't get 20l bm for that... And bm doesn't even stand to this yoke.

Fiskeboller hahahahaha. Cheers fella

Fiskeboller!

There are two major problems for me with this system. The maximum grain weight is too small for both brew length sizes and the heating elements are too highly powered and so would require rewiring work to UK houses before the units could be used.

OMG I WANT THIS!! Attention !! lightly use Grainfather for sale.... ;)

Cool wifi namn: fiskebollar😃

That sight glass though...😍💦

I've just ordered my first robobrew to enter this world .. and already I want to cheat. alas my funds only stretch so far :)

That is not cheap in sweden.

Someone I know is being ever more unfaithful to his GF ! 🤦‍♂️

Lost me when you wouldn't say the price (I know the price).
