One more comment - Blichmann makes a set of choke orifices that you can use in the bottom of your top (Mash) kettle. They can keep the volume up in the top. Your pump will not be able to overfill the mash tun, because the autosparge will always be cutting the flow...
I have a similar setup. It has an 11 gallon cooler mash tun that flows down to a 15 gallon main pot, which has a Blichmann coil. When I am mashing, I recirculate it (using the Blichmann float), using a pump and a rims tube to maintain exact temperature. My problem is that my minimum size is 7.5 gallons of hot wort, and I no-chill in a 7.5 gallon keg. I can't adequately carry 7.5 gallons of boiling wort to the basement, then hoist it to transfer to the fermenter -- I feel your pain...
A 35L Robobrew or a Grainfather doe's a great job with smaller 5 gallon/19L batches. Small and compact can be stored away. Partner that with a Fermzilla V2 , 27L/7gallons great for pressure brewing , super fast Lagering time 🍻🍺. Great Videos, easy to follow step by step video 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻
Tell Seth Rogen hi when you see him again... Very strange not to use adjuncts especially corn in a beer like this like Seth mentioned. Not sure "English" is what you should be shooting for. Sweet vid!
Loving this series of videos. Thanks for doing them. Curious what you think of the Tilt hydrometer? I've considered getting a couple but some of the reviews have not been favorable. How is the range?
Hello Mr. Martin, how are you doing? Hope all well!! Am also a home brewing enthusiast like you but my skill limits to kitchen only, brewing small batches, as am from the place (India) where home brewing is still not considered good, but I would really like to step forward, can you please help me with the same as I now want to go for larger batches with fine equipments that are easy on my pocket too. Please help me with the same. Thanks.
@@TheHomebrewChallenge even getting extract is a problem, I need to go for a 50kg bag of DME, which I can't go for due to storage issue and to tell you the truth that I started directly by malting grain on my own and pursued step mashing for brew.

Wish I'd spoken with you earlier :-) As you'll see in the next video the Blichmann setup is no more...
I'll try it.

Really enjoying this series of vids 👍🏻
ive got a glass like that from the great vegas festival of beer last year
Easy solution is to get insulated water cooler and use it as a mash tun and keep your boil kettle.

Thanks!
You could do brew in bag (or in a basket) in your boil kettle
you should bottle a couple of every style and enter them into a competition and share the results!!!
Great video!! Try showing some commercial examples, maybe?
I'm enjoying this series a lot! What are you doing with all the beer you're making? Haha
I have thirsty people frequently in the house :-)
"Who wants10 GL of american light lager?" Me man!! LOL
Hi guys I just subscribed to your channel and is amazing.. I really wanna make this one the "international amber"... 🍺 greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

U saling them. Need a bigger unit. Scratch that. Ready to up grade from pot
Have you decided on what system you are getting?
Indeed I have. Check out the next video coming later today to see :-)
The Homebrew Challenge Awesome and can’t wait. Cheers!
Fun project but can you drink all of it? Or do you donate a lot of beer?
Definitely not drinking all this myself. Hiccup!

Have you considered extract brewing? That’s how I started out, on my kitchen stove.
