I did the same first time. The top mesh should be below the solid plate and this will likely explain the grains breaking free. Onwards and upwards!paulmclaren11 said:Ahhhh, no I had the mesh screen on top of the solid plate... Like it did with the bottom screen.
Will have to try this next brew, I wasn't pist bit obviously didn't read the instructions close enough.
Second brew down with the mesh below the top solid screen!Black n Tan said:I did the same first time. The top mesh should be below the solid plate and this will likely explain the grains breaking free. Onwards and upwards!

This allows the trub and hop residue to settle into a cone shape into the middle of the vessel bottom, supposedly enabling you to drain off clearer wort.
Some brewers on here have good success with it, others less so.
I don't have a Braumeister, so don't know if it's possible to whirlpool or not with one of those.
