The homemade beer boom: Compact systems for armchair
The beer elaboration systems have received a real shake in recent times, especially those small and electrical ones that seem taken from a science fiction film. Models such as Digimash, Brameister and Grainfather have conquered the heart (and stomach) of beer fans thanks to their ease of use, reduced size and, best of all, their affordable price.
The key ingredients of your super beer system
These teams, which resemble a magical pot, have a large stainless steel container where magic occurs. They will typically be accompanied by a basket for grains and, in some cases, a bomb that ensures that the must does not cool. All this sounds like a flavored party!
The cooking process: simple how to put the table
The operation method is quite intuitive. First, heat the water, mix the grains and voilà! You have started the maceration process. If your system has a bomb, you can recirculate the must, which helps maintain the constant temperature for better performance. Once the maceration time has passed, you remove the basket, take the must to boil and continue the ritual by adding hops. Finally, fermentation is carried out as in any other system. Very easy!

Maceration: the art of seasoning the must
Storing all the water from the beginning of the process is a common practice for brewers who use systems of everything in one. However, if you decide to experiment with multiple maceration bags or steps, make sure you have a pump. This will avoid hot points and achieve uniform maceration.
Merlavado with low grade: We never forget the limits!
Despite the versatility of these systems, we must be attentive to the volume limits, especially if you dare to make high -graduation beers. Always check the metrics to make sure you will not overflow your team in the process.
