Brewing with Bobby_M All Grain 2009, Part 1 of 2

My first all grain brewing video is over a year old and doesn't represent where I currently am. This video shows you how I brew beer on a single tier, three burner, converted keg based system using a batch sparge with one march 809 pump. There are many like it, but this one's mine.

Is this guy a douche bag or what don't contradict yourself on camera it looks bad and makes you look dishonest.

@saltintheeye

Exactly what the hell are you talking about?

[BobbyFromNJ]

You can pump into the bottom drain no problem. I actually started throwing the hose over the top of the kettle during sparging because I've been playing with fly sparging and wanted to be able to see how fast the flow is. That would be impossible filling from the bottom.

helpful videos thanks for creating them! when you cut lid off for keggle. what do you do about the hole on top of the lid where the keg tap would normally go? do u leave it open?

[BobbyFromNJ]

@MrStrangebrewer Yes, I just left the hole in the top except for the mash tun which got a #12 solid stopper. I THINK it's a #12.

Hey Bobby, which type pump is that??

[BobbyFromNJ]

@peligro28

It's the highly popular March PL-809-HS

The model is actually up on Google Sketchup database. I think a search for the word "sanke" would get you there.

@WilliamGruff: Oops. I was clicking on saltintheeye's link but his channel has no videos, of brewing or anything else. LOL, what an idiot.

Excellent videos Bobby, many thanks for sharing them.

[WilliamGruff]

@BobbyFromNJ: I can't find your brewing videos.

@saltintheeye What are you talking about? Hahaha! For your information, "this guy" has taught me sooo much about brewing and without him, I probably wouldn't be brewing the awesome beers that I am.

Great vid thanks..am thinking of going all grain...at the mo its all a bit rocket science to me with enzymes & critical temps lol....how easy is it to achieve the mash temp for the grains?...& what happens if its too hot or cold?...do you loose the whole batch?...also what's the price difference between all grain and LME per batch of say 40 pints?...i know all grain is better quality & easy for fine tuning recipes but how does it compare to using LME wth dry malt & hops to give variety to a kit?

[jfmaniac]

@BobbyFromNJ man I want to move from my bucket and carboy to your setup :) thanks for a great set of videos!

[shmurbs]

i LOVE your crushing system...
