Speidel Braumeister V2 Electric Brewery - 10 L

A countertop brewing appliance that produces 2.5 gallons of amazing beer. The Braumeister is a semi-automated process where you add the grain and water at the beginning of the brewing process, set your controls and walk away. You're alerted to remove the grain before the boil and later to add hops. Simple. One nice advantage versus the Pico Brew is the Braumeister reaches and maintains a true boil, a key factor in final beer quality. This little Braumeister has some much larger big brothers (up to 500L/132 gallons) used in commercial brewing. The exact same controller and technology is used on this 10L version. 

The large LED screen allows for easy operation, recipe viewing and manipulation, as well as a memory bank to actually store recipes for future brews. The Braumeister Control Module is available now, and when purchased, will upgrade your Braumeister to be controllable over WiFi and through the Speidel site, myspeidel.com. 

Advantages of the Braumeister
First, the system has a small footprint and is powered by electricity, allowing you to brew inside, in a confined space, without the inherent dangers of using an open flame. Secondly, this unit is very easy to use as you mash the grain and then boil the wort in the same vessel. We also love the automation and control. Before you brew you set the controller with the different temperatures you wish to attain (advice is given on what to set) and the built-in heating element and pump do the rest. The Braumeister is especially ideal for step-mashing, which many brewers think is the preferred way to brew lager beers. Based on the results of lagers we have brewed on this machine, MoreBeer! agrees.

Walking Through the Brew Process
On Brew Day, you are going to assemble your Braumeister with the mash tub and bottom screen. You will fill the unit with filtered water to a notch on the center post - easy. The controller reads in °C or °F, and you can set it to different temperatures you wish to reach. Advice is given in the manual. When your water is the correct temperature, a beep alerts you to add grain. Stir in your grain, lock down the top screen (so now there is a screen on the bottom and the top) and start the mash. During the mash wort is constantly recirculated through the grain bed from the bottom up, reverse of most all-in-one systems. The liquid wort flows up through the mash and then cascades down between the mash tub and the outer wall of the Braumeister. There it is collected by the pump and pushed back through the mash. When the mash is complete, another beep will alert you to remove the entire mash tub, which sets on top of the Braumeister to drain for a period of time. At this point you can choose to rinse the mash with hot water or to just add water directly the wort. Push another button and the boil starts and will run for however long you program it. When the boil stops, begin chilling your wort.
