The Magical Blichmann Brewing System

By Patty Goff


The home brewing experience is occasionally changed by systems that are designed with geeks and pros in mind. Blichmann brewing system is a perfect example of a brewery that will capture the heart of any brewer. It is innovative and designed to meet precise customer demands. It has been remodeled with convenience of the brewer in mind.

The Blichmann model has been a favorite for home brewers but has now raised the stakes to a new level. The manufacturers have labeled it Tower of Power for a good reason. It offers a single or several PIC controllers and is powered using gas as an alternative. It uses the concept of RIS which sees direct application of heat on the mash tun and continuous circulation of wort.

The temperature of the mash is monitored by the control module. It can be adjusted by opening the gas solenoid that comes with each module. This sends gas to the burner which is then ignited by the spark. The burner shuts down after the desired temperature is achieved.

The pump tower attached to the brewery is not dependent on internal temperature to work. This tower makes control of recirculation and lautering rates easy. The availability of an automated alarm system allows you to achieve preset conditions inside the tank. You will take appropriate actions depending on prevailing conditions.

The brewery is computerized to allow download of software from the website of the manufacturer. It also comes with optional communication cables with automatic mash profiles and ramps. These features are enhancements to the flow meter and the mash temperature control. They make it easy to reach and maintain desired temperature. They also simplify mash out and step mash.

Therminator plate chillers can be mounted on stands while you make a personal choice on burners and shelves. This means flexibility as you design and setup your home brewery. You can easily accommodate any setup that includes kettles, coolers and keggles. Altering the formation of the setup does not affect its functionality.

The setup or installation is simple since it comes with an operation manual. The manufacturer suggests the use of water to test if the system is working well. This ensures that you are doing the right thing before entering into the real brewing. The temperature sensors are impressively accurate.

Rice hulls can be used in the recirculation pots because they reduce cost. The self-running operations of the brewery give you a hands-off experience which allows you to do other things at the same time. They are aided by an automated system for setting temperature and brewing hours. Geeks and pros will enjoy working with this self perpetuating assembly.

A sophisticated alarm alerts you when the flow goes below a certain level. This is an indication that your process is about to be completed. It saves you the hustle of having to be physically present to the end. There is a sample port to test and taste without interfering with production. This is your best bet yet on a home brewery.
