- This is my first brewing film and probably the only one. So much work, but I think I've did quite well actually. I forgot to add one shoot (setup for boiling) but shit happens. Enjoy!
Outstanding video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for taking time out to share. Greetings from Liverpool.. Brian
Brian Roberts Glad you liked it :) Cheers 🍺
Fab video..loved the fermenting jacket too..cheers!!
Great vid Terje! I'm gonna make the 10th brew with my klarstein next week and I am very happy with it. Cheers from Holland.
I don't drink beer, but after watching this video, I think I might give it a try. It's a lot of work, but it looks like it's worth the effort.
great vid, well done.
Excellent video! Best regards from Finland, keep on brewing!
Very nice ! I just bought this equipment and your video really helps :)
Cédric Haubourdin Good to hear that :) Enjoy your new equipment ;)
Great job ! Thanks for sharing !
Bertrand M Thanks for liking my video ;)
And also I am hoping for more of your videos on English!! :)
I think that you have excellent eye for details, and because of that this video helped me a lot when I started brewing!!
I've been thinking about to make an English-speaking video soon. It's been a while now. My other videos is in norwegian. My next brew will be an American Pale Ale. So maybe that one will be a video 😉👍 Thanks again for your feedback
Thank you! Super video!!!
What I have been looking for
Fermenting ?
So the Klarstein I see on Amazon claims SECURE: Up to 8 gallons of brewing contents can ripen peacefully in the large stainless steel kettle. Fixed clamps hold the lid and airtight sealing ring securely on the fermentation vessel, and prevent the disturbance of the fermentation process.
EASY TO TAP: The supplied plastic fermentation tube ensures the necessary pressure equalization. Thanks to acrylic plugs, it fits airtight in the intended lid opening. When ready, the finished beer can be tapped directly via the built-in drain tap.
great video, the day after tomorrow I'll make my first beer on such a device. I have a question, if I want to make 45 liters, how many liters do I have to put in before adding the grain and at what temperature?
thank you
(translated with google translation)
I just purchased a Klarstein.. pretty excited to get to use it.. been brewing with coolers , boil kettles, propane etc.. what is your ratios for water to grain? There very little info on this system in the states.. great video! Thanks!
I use between 3 to 3,5 liter per kilos of grains 😉👍
congratulations for the beautiful video, can I ask you why the 90 'and not the 60' are boiling? what changes? forgive my bad english but i use google translate
love it.
Tnks a lot!!!
Would I add strike water at say 77c knowing my grain will lower it to 66c and programme the kettle to 66 so it stays there ? Or can I programme it to heat til 77 then turn it down ?
muy buena amigo
love the gf jumping in and out of shot at 12:15 :)
Haha, that's right 😍👍
Still a great video to get some idea’s how to do homebrewing efficiently . About cleaning the hoses and the tap of the bottle bucket you use with the plant sprayer: what kind of cleaning liquid did you exactly use ? I see you’re not afraid of letting the foam be in contact with the wort, so it has to be something natural (I would say). Please let me know, so I can do the same in a few days as I’m going to bottle my first batch of en American IPA. Greets from the Netherlands , Jeroen.
In the plant sprayer i have star San. It's the Same product I use to sanitize everything else who comes in contact with the worth. Good to hear you enjoy the video 😃
Veldig bra, Terje😃🎉 Du har jo stålkontroll både på video og øl🍺 Sveisen er strøken og😜🤣 Skååål a😃🍺🍺🍺
diizno Man kan blitt tynn i håret av å brygge og filme samtidig hehe 😀 Cheers👍
Hi there,
this is by far the best video review of this machine. I learned a lot from it. :)
I have something like yours but ( 50 l Gutenbrew) I have problem adjusting it to Beersmith. My OG is always lower then it sholud be.
Do you have any tips? And also I have notice that you are doing your mashing for 1,5 h. You have better results then when you mash for 1 h?
Tnks upfront for your answer!!1
Hi, and thanks for liking my video 😉 When it comes to beersmith, I've never use it on my receipt. I only copy receipts I find on the internet. I'm not so worry myself if I don't hit the OG spot on. But most times I'm getting close. The reason that I'm mashing for 90 minutes is exactly what you're thinking. I feel that the extra 30 minutes gives a better result. Maybe it doesn't, but that's how I like to do it :)
What is the santizer you use to disinfect?
Hello, great video ! how hot was your sugar when you put it in the bucket ? Did you let it cool down a lot first ? Thanks.
Hello. I don't cool it down before tranfer 😉
@@TeddybeerBrewing okay thanks !

Hola. Cuando el mosto está hirviendo no es necesario rociarle alcohol por arriba
Hey ! Great process for your homebrew ! I have the same Klarstein and the grainfather cc chiller (I haven't installed it yet). I wonder about the compatibility with temperature >80°C during sterilization of the cc whiller and the pump which is not design for that... And how about the hops residue through the pump ? you've never had a pump problem? Cheers from France :)
Yeah, my manual say not to use the pump with boiling worth. What I do is just wait for the temperature to drop some degrees before I switch it on to stearalize the worth chiller (circulate for 5mins or so). I've had no problem with this. When it comes to hops and pump, I use a hop spider to collect much of the hops, but it will not collectors all. That's why I have bought an inside filter at the size of the bottom that will collect most of the hops that escapes from the hop spider, or hop bag if that's what you use 🙂 I'm so pleased with this machine. Makes great 🍻 Cheers!
@@TeddybeerBrewing thanks for answering :)
What is your experience with Klarstein Mundschenk? do you think it's a
good investment? Did you have problems with the equipment so far?
I've had this machine since June 2017, and so far there have been no problem. I'm very pleased with this equipment 👍
Really great Video, also to see your tools and the whole process... next step would be to go with KEG's, as we are doing now...
Did you make the counterflow-chiller by your own? Or where did you buy it?
Thanks for liking my video 🙂 The counterflow chiller I bought her in Norway at a brewing shop 👍 It's not home made, only the beer 😎
Hey there great video! I am really new to homebrewing so this might be a stupid question: Why not bottling straight from the fermentation tank?
When he was putting it in the second bucket out of the fermentation vessel he had a sugar solution in the second bucket which would mix in with the beer he was putting in there. Another way would be to put your sugar in each of the bottles for carbonation in which case you could just bottle straight from the fermentation vessel
Hey! I have a question. This is 30l or 50l version of Klarstein ?
Józek this is the 30L :)
Hello, really great video. Thanks. Could you please give some details about your counterflow chiller? Is it a home made stuff? How is it built? Seems much more efficient than my sink-in copper spiral tube chiller. Thanks for sharnig. Andy from Hungary
András Perger The counterflow chiller is bought from the store as it is on the vudeo. 7,5m long. Made of copper of course. More than that I don't really know. Good to hear you liked the video :)
Thanks for the info. I'm also planning to change my equipment to such hopcat, or brewmonkm or any other name attached to this unit. :-) Keep brewing good beers....cheers. :-)
Hi there.
Excellent video! Thank you very much.
One question. How long was fermentation was going on? Why did you put a jacket on the keg? Shouldn’t it be in cool environment?
🙋🏻♀️from Vienna
Hi, thanks for liking my video. I was fermenting for 2 weeks but not with the jacket. You see when I'm doing the dry hopping, the keg is inside an insulated box with a heater to control the temperature. The last 2 days (day 12) if the FG is reached I transfer the keg outside in cool weather to coldcrash, and the jacket is there to keep it away from daylight ;)
Teddybeer Brewing
Thank you.
You are the best! Not only your video is very good but the way you patiently answer everyone. 👍🏼😀
@@jezebelmt6180 That's good to hear 😉👍 Good luck with your brewing, Cheers 🍻
Thanks you very much for the video. Could you please give more information about the fermentation? Temperature? And how you keep the temperatures? Thanks Martin from Argentina
resistiendos Hi, and thanks for liking my video. When I fermenting I build a box made of foam. To keep the correct temperature I'm using a divice called st-1000 that you can order from eBay. You connect it to an owen or a fridge if you like. But you have to install it yourself though. With this beer the fermenting temperature was about 18 degrees Celsius.
AIRWOLF!!!!
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one that recognized it as well!
Oh, a Hopcat!!! Can you add us to the name please Terje?
Hi, great Video,
could you please tell me how you make it with sanitizing. Doesn't matter the foam to the beer?
Do you spray the STARSAN on everything to sanitize or make a sanitizing water?
I till now took Bioethanol but did then wash up with clear hot water :-)
In advanced Thanks, Klaus from Munich
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I make sanitizing water that I use for in many brews before I change it.
Isn’t that the Airwolf theme?
Correct, and also my ringtone 🙂
Very good video! I've ordered the same equiptment. Question: instead of a hopspider, can I use hopcooking-nets?
Arend Lommert Thank you 🍺👍 and yes you can use hop net. But if you're planning to transfer det worth after boil with the pump I would hang the net from the edge so it won't cover the pump intake 😉
Teddybeer Brewing Noo after boiling I will first fish the nets out, and put a spiralcooler in :)
Hello, sorry for bothering you:
Have you done the sparging (washing) of the grain before adding the hop?
Luca Raggio I add the first hop edition right before I start sparging :)
what counterflow chiller are you using in the video? looks neat!
I bought it seperatly from the Ace. It's from a norwegian shop, but here is a similar type from Amazon 😉
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B01893T10E/ezvid02-20
hello Terje! nice video could you tel me wehre to purchase the adapter for the rinsing bottle device to clean the bottles on top. thanks
Hi, and sorry for answering you so late. I bought this in Norway, but if you search on eBay for "Vinator bottle rinser" you will find the exact brand I have 😉 Cheers! 🍻
Hi there, great video. Do you know evaporation in one hour of boiling?
I know there is a tun dead space of 6.5 liters, how do you proceed with calculating the mash and sparge water?
I normally use around 3liter per kilo of grains and then rins till I have 35 liter of worth. I have not calculate evaporation so much, but I guess around 8%/ hour.
F example you are using 6kg of grains and 21 liter of mash water (3.5l/kg of grains) When the mashing is done, 6liter of water is absorbed in the grains. So then you have about 15liters of worth. So you need 20 liter of sparge water to end UP with 35liter of worth. I like to end up with 30 liter in the fermenter. Some like to mash with under 3 liter og water per kg of grains, but i'm more happy with 3-3,5 :)
Hello good vid! Where do I find your bottle sanitization station?
Hi, search for bottle rinser on ebay 👍
In his house. Don't tell him teddy, he's planning to pinch it.
I would like to buy the same equipment but I did not find any review in English. How many times and/or how frequent did you use it? Did you find any problem or mistake? Could you write me the disadvantages of this machine? So like a review... Thank you so much!
Zoltán Blumberger Hi, if you search on "Daft cat brewing" you will find a good review on this. Me myself are very happy with this machine. One thing I wish there could be was a filter on the intake on the pump.
hi. I see that you low the power until 1500W. is it possible to use less power than that? thank you
Matias Marin Hi, I never tried lower watts than 1500 while mashing. It works fine for me.
Hello! Have you experienced drop in your efficiency when you switched to this system? Thanks
Before I had a similar system, only a bit smaller kettle and a separate sirculation pump, not build in like this. This system gets me a little bit higher efficiency. The reason I bought this was the 40 liter volume instead of my old 30liter, and if course the build-in pump :) This works just great 👍
@@TeddybeerBrewing thanks for the reply. I just switched to this system and my efficiency dropped to 50-55 from 75-80 before, and can't figure out why... Some say the pump shouldn't run during the whole mash (but then why is there a pump in the first place??). Ph, temp are controlled, iodine test negative, still, i got only 50% eff...
@@hudeczandras6196 I'm not sure why. Does this happened every brewday? What I can think is if the grains are crushed in wrong size (I use 1,25mm) or if you have used a lot of wheat in your recipe (stuck mash), or you should add more water in your mash (3.5l/kilo of grains. Last brewday I end up with 80% mash efficiency. That's normal here, between 80 and 85
@@TeddybeerBrewing yes, I was thinking about crush size and water myself. I used 3l/kg but then had to add some more to cover al the grain. Crush size: are you sure about 1.25mm? Isn't it 0.25? My mill can do 0.25-1mm, I crushed 0.5-6mm but it might have been still too large. I brewed twice so far with this kit, 58 and 55% efficiency...
@@hudeczandras6196 1mm or less sounds very small. Also keep in mind that the outside surface of the grains should be intact after crushing the grains since those works like a good filtration.
I always crush my grains at 1.25mm. I think the problems lays there 👍 And when I brewing with wheat I add rice hulls (for good filtration) so I won't have any stuck mash or low efficiency. So next time try to crush the grains not smaller than 1.2 👍

Hvor tid kommer neste video? 😉
Great Terje! I have the same system. Look out my channel, i will soon start put out som videos. Cheers
Jonas Waaker Bowstringstreet brewery Great! I will follow you on RUclips and looking forward to your first video :)
Love the video. Very informative! A little late for the show but I'm hoping for an answer. Why do you choose to let the wort flow into the bucket and not just ad the sugar in the fermentation barrel you have? Is it for the mixing of the sugar? It just seems to have more risk of contamination. Thx again
