Braumeister - Tips & Tricks

Try bacbrewing. Their screens are $27. It will not be a cheap option with shipping from Europe, but may be comparable to the costs from Kauri and you would have a better quality filter screen.

Or stormbrewing in WA have BM20 screens listed for $25 on their website.

Hi All, anyone know in Australia where to buy 20 Liter Brau screens, since Grain and Grape has closed.
Thanks.

G'day mate, what's wrong with your current screens? Reason I ask is some years ago I replaced mine on my 50lt BM. I did so because the old screens where getting a bit tatty on the edges, I still have the old screens. They could be trimmed down to fit a 20lt, I'm sure the center hole diameter etc is the same.

Cheers Batz

Ok thanks, Any chance of sending them and I'll send money for postage, did you want anything for the old screens, should be able to cut them down with tin snips.

If you trim the old 50's they will start to get tatty super quick, and you will be back at square one.

Seriously, bite the bullet and buy the Bac brewing screens. They will last you the rest of your life.
They are sent via DHL and take less than a week to arrive from Italy. The transport is expensive so order anything else you might need for your Braumeister for the rest of your brewing life. I got the increase disks as well as the malt pipe screens for my 2 x 20-liter Braumeisters. Also 2 of the hop spider mediums along with the kits for adapting to the Braumeister. I have never looked back. The brainbox who designs and fabricates the stuff, Francesco Taboni, is a cool guy and is generally good and quick at answering any question you may have.

its great for draining pretty much every last drop of clear wort after you whirlpool.
saves you tipping the brau to get the last bit of wort out, more of an issue with the 50L i think, havent used a 20L myself
