Braumeister - Grain Crush Test Results

[doon]

When I pull my pump open to clean I always pull the impeller out to clean it and behind it

they were designed to be a hot water circulating pump that is used in Europe the older ones were vortex BW-152, looks like they have changed the type

cheers

Wonder if they manufacture the pumps in house or buy in from a third party. Saw in one of the videos where the impellors just push into the pump body.

Up until about 10-12 months ago the pump was a Vortex Pump, they are now using an Iowara Pump. My Braumeister has the old pump and hasnt given me any trouble. I understand the Vortex has gone out of production but both have been around for years and are well regarded brands

Hello Mark, any other details on the Lowara pump model? I guess it would be something like the Ecorcirc Bronze EB?

Its one of these but with the BSP connection options, they work very well, easy to clean and are on balance probably an improvement on the old model. Not however enough of an improvement to make me want to change pumps any time soon.
They are available locally, but are cheaper as a Braumeister spare part; there is an adaptor available to make up for the change in the body length, if you ever need to order one to replace the old pump that is something you should tell your distributer.

ok... just wanted to tell the world, changed my mill to 1.18mm millmaster mini mill and got back to 85% eff. Had 2 brews in a row where I got 65-70 owing to milling too fine. I had it set on 1mm.
Yeah... boring post I know... ummmm nice day outside!
