Old versus new — comparing the Robobrews
For 2017 RoboBrew have introduced two new models that replace the original RoboBrew. The first is a direct replacement for the standard RoboBrew while the second features the addition of a pump and recirculation system. Both have numerous new features and benefits over the original RoboBrew.
RoboBrew With Pump – new model
A new version of the RoboBrew is now out, featuring a wide range of improvements, changes and the addition of a recirculation pump.
Three reasons to downgrade from three vessel to RoboBrew
I started my all grain brewing with a three vessel system but turned to the RoboBrew when I decided that I wanted something smaller and simpler in the hopes that I’d brew more often and more variety. Here’s five reasons I used to justify the downsize from three vessels to a single brewing vessel.
One or both RoboBrew elements during the boil?
The RoboBrew is fitted with two elements that can be manually switched on and off independent of the built-in electronic thermostat.
Avoiding a boil over with the RoboBrew
As your brew reaches boiling point, there’s generally a few minutes where the build-up of foam — known as the hot break — can cause as a boil over, coating the outside of your RoboBrew in a mess of caked-on foam and wort.
Use Whirlfloc for clear beer
In addition to always wanting to brew better tasting beers, most homebrewers are in search of an illusive clear beer. Whirlfloc is an easy first step to significantly clearer beers.
Dead space on the RoboBrew (original model)
It’s important when calculating your grain bill and brewery efficiency to take into account dead space.
RoboBrew (original model) versus Grainfather
The Grainfather is perhaps the most commonly found turnkey brewing system in Australian homebrew shops. At a price of $1,150 it offers a wide number of advanced features. It is designed to produce the same amount of finished beer as the RoboBrew which retails for $449.
Rice hulls are the RoboBrew’s best friend
Having issues with a stuck mash? One of the few shortcomings of the RoboBrew is its narrow, tall malt pipe that can cause the mash to compact and get stuck due to the weight of the grain and water.
