    Love it! Laughed out loud at the close up macro b-roll of the sparge manifold and the perfectly in-focus overflow pipe filter, great camera work. Look at those perfectly halved grains not overcrushed and just steeping there. Oh, speaking of which, if you eventually can afford it, that Blichman grain mill is such a nice but unnecessary at smaller scale convenience. Immensely satisfying crunch when it goes brrr.
    In all seriousness, I love that you do not pan away at some of the gaffes, and you show us homebrewers when you goof up. Every brew day has its gaffes and its laughs, and that's so key to the hobby/lifestyle.
    It's also been great to watch the BG brewery slowly grow, to watch your process mature, and to see you ramping up. I wish you all the success in the world as you sell your beer, hopefully many more videos to come.

    Great videos. Question, what was that ring filter that was dropped in to the wort before the boil?

    • @BentGateBrewing
      @BentGateBrewing  Před rokem

      It's a Brewtools product called the "Trubinator." They make a separate size for each of the brewing systems. Works great and definitely recommend!

    Excellent video. Where did you get your rail system? Looks ideal for moving a heavy grain basket

    • @BentGateBrewing
      @BentGateBrewing  Před rokem

      I was able to get it through a connection who could no longer use it for their business, so I got really lucky. It's the Skyrail system from Skylotec. Certainly overkill for the application but works well.

    Interesting to see you using the sparge manifold for mashing. Have you ever found any problem with it getting clogged? Enjoyed the video, I rarely get to see other brewers at work on their Brewtools equipment so always good to see what other people do.

    • @wellyftw
      @wellyftw Před rokem +1

      Also, the steam hat condenser - which nozzle do you use? Are you using the nozzle that comes standard or have you had to swap it out for a different one?

    • @BentGateBrewing
      @BentGateBrewing  Před rokem +1

      It clogs a bit but isn't too much of a big deal. I just pop off the end caps and it usually clears out. To be honest I'm not super happy with the sparge manifold. I will probably upgrade to the new mash manifold and also use it for sparging in the future.
      For the steam hat condenser we just use the standard one and have had no problems :)

      @@BentGateBrewing next brew day I'm going to experiment with just a hose coming out of the centre pipe and putting the laser cut filter in the top (as well as one on the bottom, obviously) to let the wort run through the grain bed more slowly.
      It'll work in the same way as my old Grainfather did and that worked perfectly for mash recirculation and sparging with great efficiency.
      Contemplated the new mash manifold but going to try this way before I splash out on that. I've got the 90 degree centre pipe fitting that I was going to use with an SS brewtech manifold but decided against it in the end.

    Nice brewery set up!
    I have a question, since you are adjusting the water profile: how did you determine the tap water profile?
    Did you ask the supplier for an analysis sheet?
    I'm living in Norway too (Tromsø) and I tried to get a profile from the water supplier but they are testing just for bacteria presence, no chemical profile...

    • @kristian3472
      @kristian3472 Před rokem

      try to google analysis of drinking water (analyse av drikkevann). I have not done it myself, but I heard before that there are companies in norway who will analyze a sample of your own tap water. not sure about pricing etc though. worth investigating.

    • @BentGateBrewing
      @BentGateBrewing  Před rokem

      We are lucky and both Oslo and Gjerdrum (Gimilvann) publish their water profiles, which include chemical profile. I would just email the kommune or city water authority and just ask. I would guess they would have it as I think it is standard to test. My experience is that the water around here is super soft and doesn't have much dissolved solids but am unsure what it's like up North. All we do to our water is just remove the chlorine/chloramine and then use the water as is.

      @@BentGateBrewing Fun fact about the water in Tromsø (I went to a brewery tour!) : Back in the day when Mack brewery moved out of the city center in Tromsø after having outgrown their facilities, they started getting customer complaints that the taste of their beer had changed. They had replicated their production lines as carefully as they could, and it was realized that it was in fact the water that had changed, as their new water source come from the mountains :) Guess there is something to this water chemestry :D

      @@BentGateBrewing I'm living on the countryside, water is collected from a lake up in the mountains and the supply managed by a local community union. By law they are testing the water every year to check if is drinking safe but they were not able to give me any chemical composition.
      I've been asking to have a chemical analysis run by a lab here in Tromsø but they want 2000nok, and the profile will probably change trough the year.
      The kommune says the same here: water soft or super soft.
      Pretty much understandable, they collect water from lakes up in the mountains so there is not so much "contact time" to get minerals from the rocks.
      Are you removing chlorine/chloramine with a carbon filter or do you use something else?
