Colander Water Level Controller Spec Sheet
The BREWHA Colander Water Level Sensor provides automatic control of the pump when recirculating wort during mash. If the wort level drops below the end of the probes, the pump will shut off, helping lower the risk of dry-firing the elements, and creating high pressure differential in the Colander that will lead to a stuck mash. The Sensor should be hung from the top of the Colander, and a tight connection made as the Colander provides the grounding for the sensor and will not otherwise function.

How to Clean and Sanitize a Beer Transfer Hose
When racking beer, one primary source of infection can be the transfer hose that is used. Hoses can easily develop knicks and cracks internally that are hard to spot, harbor bacteria and are very hard to effectively sanitize with chemicals. Chemical cleaners wash over the surface but don’t effectively deal with...

Preventing Leaks and Galling in the 4-in-1 Fermenter
The 4-in-1 fermenter lid is held in place with eye bolts. Eye bolts are used over standard nuts as they are easier to open with fingers—no tools are necessary. However, when higher pressure is being applied to the vessel (up to 14.9psi), a tool is likely needed to tighten the lid down so it doesn't leak. For a tighter seal, a screw driver (or other steel bar) can be used to tighten the ring by...
Great Technique for Improving Mash Efficiency

Great Technique for Improving Mash Efficiency
During the mash, enzymes attack complex carbohydrates in the grain and break them up into more simple sugars that yeast can digest. If all (or most) of the available complex carbohydrates are modified by the enzymes and extracted in the wort, a 'high efficiency' is achieved. If much of the total available carbohydrates remain in the grain and...

Sparging with the BIAC
While not absolutely necessary, some brewers prefer to rinse or 'sparge' their grain at the end of the mash period to recover as much sugar as possible. While cold water can be used, it is generally recommended to use hot water at 75°C/167°F as sugars will be recovered more readily and the grain bed kept more fluid, allowing easier...

Preventing Scorched Wort and Burnt Flavor in Your Beer
After four weeks of eager anticipation, there are few things more devastating to a brewer than discovering an unwanted microbial infection or tasting burnt/smokey notes in your latest brew. The BIAC takes you a long way towards preventing the unwanted infection, since by boiling in the fermenter it is heat sanitized. However, one needs to be careful...

Heating and Chilling Methods for the 5BBL BIAC
There has been some discussion online about the benefit of circulating wort inside the BIAC fermenter during chilling to reduce the chill time so we put it to the test in our largest system, the 5BBL BIAC. We tested on the 5BBL, since being the largest system we currently offer, it has the lowest chilling surface area to wort ratio and therefore (all other factors being equal) the longest chill time of the BIAC systems.

Controlling Vorlauf and Lauter Rates to Prevent a Stuck Mash
Not long ago Dave Miller sent me a link to an article he wrote on vorlauf and lautering that has really helped with questions around increasing lauter rates and preventing stuck mashes. In his article he states that most people lauter (and vorlauf) too fast and while there are many possible causes, the major culprit...

Brewing With Fresh Hops All Year Long
Brewing with fresh hops has long intrigued me. It is fairly intuitive that fresh hops would have different flavors than dried hops, and being able to grow a key ingredient for your brew has a certain appeal. And, I happen to live in a great spot for it as Vancouver has a good climate for growing hops; hops can be seen in the back yards of many homes around the city wild patches can even be found growing around the city...

How to Quickly Transfer Beer from Your Fermenter to a Keg
While BREWHA's Fermentor to Keg Racking Hose allows a brewer to easily transfer beer to a keg in an oxygen free environment using the 'beer out' post of the keg, the 'beer out' post on most kegs is through a 1/4" tube which can restrict beer flow and be somewhat time consuming. This article describes an easy method for rapid racking of beer to a keg using a larger diameter hose.
