All good advice. I'd like to be able to afford the refractometer but I should definitely get some of those gloves! I wish that mixer attachment was available where I live ...
Hi, I've been looking for a mixing paddle for pre mash as well as to aerate the wort. I can't seem to find the kegland one you mention on their site or BrewKegTap. Any ideas where to get one? Thanks
This item is:- Premium Stainless Steel Drill Powered Mash Stirrer & Mixer - 1/4 Inch Hex Drive SKU: KL32247 I suggest emailing Brewtapkeg, The Malt miller and Angel homebrew if you cannot find it on their websites. They are all importing Kegland products.
I am still using Promash, yea, I am old. However, I do use Bru'n Water and for me that is working just fine. I do get a lot of great ideas from you David and appreciate your videos.
In brief, I used BeerSmith for many years before switching to BrewFather. So at that time I had paid for both, I liked Brewfather that much. Since then I have not looked back. Try the free trial and see what you think 🍻🍻
Good info; Being prepared in time is "half the brew" 🍺 Any news on Jaded chillers in Europe - I believe there was talks about a European distributor? Buying in the US will add almost the same amount in freight as the chiller costs.
For sure 🍻🍻 There are some home brew stores in Europe that stock Jaded brewing chillers but naturally the export will add extra cost, just not as much as singles.
Nice video as always David! I picked up the wooden paddle for my Brewzilla Gen4 because I didn´t want to scratch the inside of the machine with stainless steel paddles as I always stir during the mash. However whenever I watch your videos I see you stir only during mash-in, is that correct? Also I was wondering what fermenter you are using, do you also rotate those?
Fermenter wise I have quite afew from Frrmzilla, GF Conical, Brewbuilt and more. It varies in terms of use. I will in the future release a fermentation version of this video.
Do you do whirlpools after boiling? I was under the assumption that is was a smart and beneficial thing to do, but when you use an immersion cooler to cool the hot wort and also start stirring, I guess the whole whirlpooling is made useless right?
Yes, the wp comes after the boil. These days I simply do a hop stand if needed as most of my systems have a false bottom. If you just have a filter then its worthwith but then you would do it after the hop stand if part of the recipe.
@@DavidHeathHomebrew I have a brewmonk b40, a whirlpool arm and an immersion cooler. If my recipe does not specify a hopstand. Would you still suggest to do a whirpool for a certain amount of time and after that put in the immersion cooler to get it to 20c? Or should I just skip it? I thought my cooler would probably disturb the trub cone anyway, but to be honest maybe the picture I have in my mind of that trub is not the same as what it really is.
@soundwave070 If you are having transfer issues the a wp could help, especially if you do the stirring or use a drill. By hand a few minutes is really a minimum but with a drill you can cut that in half easily.
PH meter? and why no? It is essential for me, especially after 15 to 20 min. after soaking grainbill in strike water to determine my ph during mashing.
AIO systems have moved on massively, I suspect many brewers moving from kit brewing are going straight to AIO and skipping part grain completely. Great video David
Thanks for all the very useful content. RUclipsrs like you are what makes it great!
Thank you so much. Very appreciated 🍻🍻🍻
Hello! I stopped brewing and trying to get back now, I just wanted to thank you for all the videos and overall good spirits! Thank you!!!
Great to hear!! Thank you 🍻🍻🍻
As usual..... GREAT CONTENT !!!
Thank you, much appreciated 🍻🍻🍻
Many thanks! Always good stuff.
🍻🍻🍻
Thank you David as always a very good video 👍
Many thanks Allan, much appreciated 🍻🍻🍻
Yes to jaded brewing immersion chillers, mine (king cobra) has been working very well for almost 10 years now.
For sure 🍻🍻🍻
All good advice. I'd like to be able to afford the refractometer but I should definitely get some of those gloves! I wish that mixer attachment was available where I live ...
Thank you 🍻🍻🍻
I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of putting wheels on my brewing stand, thanks for the idea!
It works very well 🍻🍻🍻

Thank you. Brewfather has a free trial and very good documentation. Well worth seeing what you think 🍻🍻🍻
@@DavidHeathHomebrew I did use the free trial. Yes, I agree it is very good. I guess I am too old to change.
Ahh fair enough, its all about choices 🍻🍻🍻
Hi all, I use a Milwaukee MA882 which is less than 1/2 the price of the Easy Dens (in Australia). Cheers!
Yes there are plenty of cheaper alternatives.
Hi David, how would you compare BeerSmith to BrewFather?

I am also looking for these in Europe without luck so far
🍻🍻🍻
Thank you for your video. which system got this attacment? 4:30?
This is part of the Brewtools systems 🍻🍻🍻
@@DavidHeathHomebrew looks fancy 🫡
Yes, for sure 🍻🍻🍻
Like you my friend, I'm also a fan of Wheels 🍻
Hey Bradley, wheels are super useful 🍻🍻🍻
Nice video as always David!

Thank you.
Yes, as long as you have recirculation then unless something goes very wrong then there is no need to stir further.

@@DavidHeathHomebrew Do you find the keg/spunding valve is a go to for any particular styles?
It can be used for all styles. Just have no pressure for styles where the yeasts flavour and aroma is required for the first 4 days.
@@DavidHeathHomebrew
So, do not suppress yeast activity by pressurising the vessel if the style happens to be almost 'yeast dependent'?
Good vid
Thank you :)

Water, you can have the best of equipment and processes but if your water isn't right then neither will your end product.
True but this is a different topic 🍻🍻🍻

Great video David
Yes, in Europe this has been the route for many years in fact.
