If you are reading this then you have probably bought or are thinking of buying a Braumeister brewing kit and are wondering how to get the best out of it. I have now been using my Braumeister 20l for 5 years and have brewed around 50 different beers. 47 have been excellent. Of the remainder I have had 2 equipment failures (1 impeller failure and 1 thermostat breakdown) both of which were quickly fixed by replacement parts from my supplier (Humlegården in Sweden) with great support from Speidel. The remaining 1 failure was my own fault due to insufficient sanitation. The best recipes I have now put into the beersmith recipe cloud. I would love to also put the equipment and mashing profiles in the cloud as separate items but this is not possible, so I am making this post.
There is always a demand for the equipment profile from new starters with Braumeister, so I post this here as my last posting was in 2011.
I had been hoping that someone else (maybe Speidel) would create a set of mashing profiles for different types of beers as the great strength of the Braumeister equipment is its ability to perform multi-step mashing with ease. However, since nobody else has come along I will publish my own. After much experimentation and reading I have come up with the attached 4 mash profiles for full body, lager, light body and wheat beer. They do produce a different outcome and I would love to get some feedback from others.
Ideally I would love to see postings here from anyone who has improved on these equipment settings or mashing profiles or has other specialty mashing profiles to add.
happy brewing
