Hi WEAL - can I just confirm is that 50L final volume? If note, how much wort do you get after a brew?

Don't know where I read it but I believe it is 45 litres, maybe those on this site who already have the 50 litre can enlighten us.

weal I might be interested as well.
I have two 15a circuits
Yeah probably about 45litres

No worries Rossco, one more question on the malt pipe is it still only 4 tabs spot welded to hold the weight while it drains?

Put me down for 1 WEAL (not for me, one of our members) I am happy with the 40 litre.

50L does a 40L batch, 46.7L max for boil. Just 2 cubes with none to spare.

I get 40L post boil. Ferment in a 50L Sanke keg and then rack to 2 corny kegs. End up pretty much full to the brim with 2x19= 38 L.

Wrt the helix, I have had a hell of a time lately. I’m not sure if it’s a vacuum build up or something? I try and start slow and then after a while it just dries up. I have only had one successful transfer after about ten brews. That even includes lately using a hopspider. ‍

farsideofcrazy nailed it in a previous post, I have had a couple stall after chilling never when no chilling, I think it is an air lock inside the helix I got a fish slice and pressed it between the spirals and once it started to flow it just kept flowing.

Can anyone tell me what the minimum brew size is in the 50lt? I mainly do a 20lt batch size but I like the option of being able to do double batches if I need.
Thanks

As well as lespaul I would like to know is a 20 liter batch doable?

 

[620rossco]

yeah WEAL it is still 4 tabs, well at least it was when mine was made.

I’m in for one WEAL. I’ve been thinking about a robobrew. But a 50L unit sounds much better

Well you have obviously had no problem with 4 tabs, I keep looking at the 4 tabs on mine and wonder if its going to support the weight when I initially lift the malt pipe.

I can’t see it being a problem. The heating element is in the bottom and you can vary the power output.

 

[wide eyed and legless]

I doubt whether it will be a problem, there are a few on this forum who have the 50 litre so surely one of them has made a 20 to 25 litre brew.

 

[sixfignig]

I'm in at those prices.

Hi WEAL, I’m in for a 50l unit. Looking for an upgrade from my 35l
