Love it! Laughed out loud at the close up macro b-roll of the sparge manifold and the perfectly in-focus overflow pipe filter, great camera work. Look at those perfectly halved grains not overcrushed and just steeping there. Oh, speaking of which, if you eventually can afford it, that Blichman grain mill is such a nice but unnecessary at smaller scale convenience. Immensely satisfying crunch when it goes brrr.
In all seriousness, I love that you do not pan away at some of the gaffes, and you show us homebrewers when you goof up. Every brew day has its gaffes and its laughs, and that's so key to the hobby/lifestyle.
It's also been great to watch the BG brewery slowly grow, to watch your process mature, and to see you ramping up. I wish you all the success in the world as you sell your beer, hopefully many more videos to come.
Thanks so much! Yeah we don’t take ourselves super seriously. We certainly are learning along with everyone! We will always have super unnecessary b-roll 😎 glad you enjoy!
Nice video guys! I like to watch the brewing process to see what other brewers are doing. Sometimes I add to my own process, other times I wonder what the heck they are doing!! Cheers to making tasty beers!!!
Yeah it’s great to learn from so many talented brewers out there. We are always learning as well
Great set up lad's keep the videos coming 👍
Thanks! We will have a few more videos in this style coming soon :)
Great looking set up!!!!
Thanks a lot! Still some small optimizations to do but so far I'm pretty happy :)
Great video, funny guys.
Have you forgot the Farenheit scale😜
Thanks! The what scale? 😛 I'm more of a fan of Rankine, but Brewtools and Brewfather don't support that for some reason 🤷♂️
Subscribed only because of the tip touch...cheers
😂 nothing beats a good tip touch
nice!
Great videos. Question, what was that ring filter that was dropped in to the wort before the boil?
It's a Brewtools product called the "Trubinator." They make a separate size for each of the brewing systems. Works great and definitely recommend!
Have to says good job to the cameraguy/lady🎉
Thanks! It was our friend Aaron who has the magic camera touch!
Nice video guys
Thanks!
Great! If you want to upgrade your equipment, just let me know, Shandong HG Machinery.
Will do!
Excellent video. Where did you get your rail system? Looks ideal for moving a heavy grain basket
I was able to get it through a connection who could no longer use it for their business, so I got really lucky. It's the Skyrail system from Skylotec. Certainly overkill for the application but works well.
@@BentGateBrewing it's a beauty!
Which rail and pulleys do you use? Looks absolutely great! :-)
Skylotec rail system and petzl jag pulley. Super overkill 😅
very good video, nicely edited. When are you going to run a live brew day?
Thanks! I think the goal is sometime in early Spring :) Definitely on a weekend
Interesting to see you using the sparge manifold for mashing. Have you ever found any problem with it getting clogged? Enjoyed the video, I rarely get to see other brewers at work on their Brewtools equipment so always good to see what other people do.
Also, the steam hat condenser - which nozzle do you use? Are you using the nozzle that comes standard or have you had to swap it out for a different one?
It clogs a bit but isn't too much of a big deal. I just pop off the end caps and it usually clears out. To be honest I'm not super happy with the sparge manifold. I will probably upgrade to the new mash manifold and also use it for sparging in the future.
For the steam hat condenser we just use the standard one and have had no problems :)
@@BentGateBrewing next brew day I'm going to experiment with just a hose coming out of the centre pipe and putting the laser cut filter in the top (as well as one on the bottom, obviously) to let the wort run through the grain bed more slowly.
It'll work in the same way as my old Grainfather did and that worked perfectly for mash recirculation and sparging with great efficiency.
Contemplated the new mash manifold but going to try this way before I splash out on that. I've got the 90 degree centre pipe fitting that I was going to use with an SS brewtech manifold but decided against it in the end.
Im wanting to start learning how to brew my own beer but curious on tips where to start or maybe starter kits anyone recommends
I started with a simple brew in a bag setup which I recommend. You just need a kettle of however much you want to brew, a bag, and some way to heat the kettle :) That's all :) I am unsure who sells the best brew kits these days
Clawhammer supply strongly recommends assembling your own. Kits typically have stuff you'll only use once.
Nice brewery set up!
I have a question, since you are adjusting the water profile: how did you determine the tap water profile?
Did you ask the supplier for an analysis sheet?
I'm living in Norway too (Tromsø) and I tried to get a profile from the water supplier but they are testing just for bacteria presence, no chemical profile...
try to google analysis of drinking water (analyse av drikkevann). I have not done it myself, but I heard before that there are companies in norway who will analyze a sample of your own tap water. not sure about pricing etc though. worth investigating.
We are lucky and both Oslo and Gjerdrum (Gimilvann) publish their water profiles, which include chemical profile. I would just email the kommune or city water authority and just ask. I would guess they would have it as I think it is standard to test. My experience is that the water around here is super soft and doesn't have much dissolved solids but am unsure what it's like up North. All we do to our water is just remove the chlorine/chloramine and then use the water as is.
@@BentGateBrewing Fun fact about the water in Tromsø (I went to a brewery tour!) : Back in the day when Mack brewery moved out of the city center in Tromsø after having outgrown their facilities, they started getting customer complaints that the taste of their beer had changed. They had replicated their production lines as carefully as they could, and it was realized that it was in fact the water that had changed, as their new water source come from the mountains :) Guess there is something to this water chemestry :D
@@BentGateBrewing I'm living on the countryside, water is collected from a lake up in the mountains and the supply managed by a local community union. By law they are testing the water every year to check if is drinking safe but they were not able to give me any chemical composition.
I've been asking to have a chemical analysis run by a lab here in Tromsø but they want 2000nok, and the profile will probably change trough the year.
The kommune says the same here: water soft or super soft.
Pretty much understandable, they collect water from lakes up in the mountains so there is not so much "contact time" to get minerals from the rocks.
Are you removing chlorine/chloramine with a carbon filter or do you use something else?
@@andreabasso8350 you can use campden tablets (or Potassium metabisulfite in powder form at a rate of about 0.5g/76l of water) to get rid of chlorine/chloramine - its an instant chemical reaction
What kind of mill are you using?
We are using the Monster Mill MM3 Pro :)
Nicw job
Thanks!
