- Crafting your home brew on any brewing system is fun and rewarding but when you throw yourself into learning a new system it can both inspire you to brew in a different way and also learn even more about the amazing hobby we all know and love!
In this video Stiffo throws himself into brewing on the amazing Brewtools B40pro system! It’s a system he’s not brewed often on so in this video he tried out some new experiments and techniques to brew a Munich Helles! What’s more, he also fermenters the beer in a Brewtools Mini Uni to get the full and immersive Brewtools experience!
Check out how he got on in the video and stick around to the end to see how the beer turned out.

Closest you will get to a 3 vessel system in one vessel 😉
Nice video!
I have seen it twice now due to the fact I recently bought a B40pro.
Over a long period with different brew systems I have been struggling to get the flow going ending up with a stuck mash (even rice hulls does not seem to help).
My grain crush is OK (1.3mm gap on my maltmill).
I wonder about your process and hope you can clarify items below for me?
1) was the pump turned off during all 30 min of protein rest (55°) or after how many min after doe in?
2) when pump is turned on (which percentage - and always same?) and is valve position always 5-o-clock'ish?
Thanks in advance and cheers!
Hey! Firstly, pump always on for the whole mash. We start slow at around 20% and then ramp it up or down as needed, depending on the grist and how the mash is performing. We generally always have the side valve set top that 5pm setting for the mash too, maintaining flow around the elements and then also through the mash itself.
@@themaltmiller8438 Thanks, but does it mean that you also keep then pump on at 20% 5-o-clock during adding the grains or do you wait until all grain is in after e,g. 10 min - or how long of doe-in in minutes do you have?
It looks amazing and fairly easy to use but the price. I know as homebrewers we're trying to save money and we're all guilty of over spending on shiny kit. For the price you could setup a small brewery
Different people brew for very different reasons. Saving money can be one, if that is what you’re looking for then check out the 3 vessel brew day video. Some brewers want complete control over process and that is their main aim. Some brewers just love shiny, we are all different. It’s what makes the hobby so amazing, so many different avenues. Above all, it doesn’t really matter why, just enjoy;)
Thanks for the video. Questions, please:
1. What did you use to serve the beer into the glasses?
2. Don't you loose pressure with that thing?
3. Can it be used to completely drink out the tank?
Thank you!
The disconnect we used is the flow control one from Kegland - www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/duotight-8mm-x-flow-control-ball-lock-disconnect-liquid-black-yellow/
The tank is fully a fully sealed pressure fermenter, so it should not loose pressure but if you do have a leak it can be found using food grade leak detector or soapy water and then resolved easily.
You can drink form the tank yes, however you would have the yeast in the tank which over time could taint the flavour, this unit has the ability to fit parts to the bottom port which means you can also add a dump valve and this would mean you could absolutely then use it to drink the whole brew from.
Brewtools is only interested in the US market.
Many local shops here don't have any Brewtools products on stock anymore. They can order it and i will need to wait 3 weeks.
They say it cost to much, and that people rather order it directly from Brewtools. Anything above 500 will be shipped free.
For me the 3 way valves are a pita to work with. So i sold my B40 with 400 euro loss in 3 months time.
If Brewtools made a simple version like Grainfather or Brewzilla has, then i would buy one again. TFT and 3 way valves are a pita for me.
The GF G40 is a real pleasure to operate. Next month i will be getting a new jacketed pressure fermenter.
A Brewtaurus Jacketed fermenter from CZ. A Helles Munich WLP925 will be brewed then.
As with all the variations in brewing systems, you'll find some who love one over another and for various reasons. That's the joy of the home brew market these days, with so much variety and choice out there you can find something perfect for all needs.
Hmmm Brewtools... Yeah I can dream!
Interesting that you did a full volume, no sparge though. I used that process when I brewed with a grain bag and considered it to be a compromise. I'll try it on my Brewzilla. I'm guessing I can do the recirculation into the basket like you have to filter the wort?
It’s about experimenting, looking at process time verses the quality of the final beer and what effect it has on different beer styles. Yes, you can basically do the same process on the Brewzilla.
The Vorlauf definitely helps in this system. I have (shamefully) only brewed twice on my B80 in over 3 years [don't ask] and the second time I did a Vorlauf pre-sparge. It helps grab a few extra points for sure.
Great video, thanks for sharing, it's got my wanting to try no sparge on my own B40. Could you let me know what mash efficiency you got please so I can adjust my profile for the grain calcs?
Sorry! I didn't jot it down, but it was high. Not to self, take more notes! We where a few points over our goal for the SG
@@themaltmiller8438 ah yes, note taking, I think I’ve heard of that 🙂
@@themaltmiller8438 I was also surprised by your full-volume approach, but I think it helps with efficiency, since the grain can flow more freely and is not as compacted as in the normal approach. I currently have rather low efficiency on the B40 and wanted to experiment with stirring the mash but full-volume is also worth testing.
Is it legal to have this much fun at work? 🤔
Haha!! Yes!!
Is the recipe for this Helles available?
We haven't built the recipe as a kit but if you wanted to brew it then it's 4.5kg Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner, 500g Weyermann Munich 1, 100g Saphier and 2 x WHC Einstein. Happy to send you the mash profile and other info, just drop us an email at hello@themaltmiller.co.uk
That brewtools kit is incredible it’s so beautiful and versatile with all the different attachments ( one day I may be a owner )Beer looks beautiful nearly as beautiful as you guys 🤪another great vid as always cheers 🍻👍
(blushing)
Another great video. Really informative. I'm going to scale this up on brew on my Brewtools 80...BUT I like to sparge
80L batch then!!! 😊 Glad you liked the video
Great vlog on the brew tools equipment having only just upgraded to all grain and my brewzilla I will get use to this first 😅 will you be releasing the beer you brewed as a kit on the website? Cheers 🍻
