This is the best workflow breakdown of a brew day I've seen. Great explainer. A full system like this has been on my wishlist for a long time. I'd love to see a similar video covering your fermenting vessels.

It's a great shame that Clawhammer and a number of other US vendors haven't (yet) expanded their products out to other territories. We could do with some competition in the mid- to high-range area for these systems!

Yeah, that’s because they are still waiting for those shipping containers to arrive since Covid messed up the flow of things. Same problem in the UK, preorder and empty promises and a lot of this shiny material that is so badly made and prone to rust, I wouldn’t bother. The West needs to return to high quality domestic production and wean itself off from imported junk.

I received the Clawhammer 'Starter' 10 gal system that came with the kettle, brew basket and some fittings. It does not come with the heating element etc. The basket sits perfectly in the kettle and has a large volume. However the SS kettle itself seems a little on the flimsy side. Certainly not up to a Blichmann kettle or even an SS Brewtech kettle both of which I have. That being said, I tested after assembling with water and everything was leak free and seemed to work as advertised. The vol gal markings on the inside of the kettle are a little on the light side to read when liquid is in the kettle but not a big issue. All in all not bad for the cost especially if you are downsizing and already have pumps and chillers etc.

Question: While waiting for the wort to come to a boil, could you dump and rinse out the grain basket and use that for a hop spider without hop utilization taking a hit?
@TheHomebrewChallenge

Such an interesting idea! Clawhammer tell me the mesh in the grain basket is too tight and the hops will block it up. They recommend using hop bags if utilization is a concern.

Have you had a chance to brew on the Spike Solo system yet? I know a few other KZitem channels have done so during the beta test phase, before product release, but it's been a while since that time. It would be pretty cool to get a current side-by-side comparison video of various all-in-one systems. 👍

I'm in Tasmania Australia, I don't know how you cope with 110V in North America when the rest of the world is on 240V perhaps that's why so many brewing videos on KZitem in the US use propane instead of electricity, that said I don't think they can really change it now.

I’m in Oz as well and use electric and gas at the same time. Works a treat and no waiting around for ramp ups. One thing about that Clawhammer system, my basket has three fold out hooks that deploy automatically when you lift the full grain basket. Makes life much easier. Great show Martin, thanks!

Thanks for the video! I made my own system that was inspired by Clawhammer system. Shipping the whole system from US to EU is quite expensive (+ customs and VAT). It has 43L pot (a bit over 11 gallons) and 2500W heating element. It works great and last time i had almost 70% brewhouse efficiency (69.4%). I love the design of the system and kinda feel bad for "copying" it, i'll buy the original system one day :D

Hi, thanx for the video. I really enjoyed every single one of them since I started homebrewing last years August. Maybe I am wrong, but i think u mixed up the inlet and the outlet at the pump (4:17), I have a complete different system since clawhammer is not available/suitable in Germany, but it happens to be, that I have the same type of pump built in, and the pump's inlet is at the front and the outlet is at the top...
