Get the ultimate accessory for the BrewEasy, with the KettleKart from Blichmann Engineering. This cart was designed to work with all sizes of the BrewEasy system (both gas and electric), but can also be used in other setups where a durable and solid mobile cart is needed. It includes a set of retaining brackets which allows you to secure your TopTier Floor Burner to it. The retaining brackets can also accommodate most size pots (up to the 30 gallon BoilerMaker) when using an electric heating element such as the Blichmann BoilCoil. Features include the following:
NOTE: Burner depicted in picture is not included.
NOTE: Picture shown is of the G1 BoilerMakers. This product will ship with the new G2 BoilerMaker brew pots.
The BrewEasy is a revolutionary and ultra-compact all-grain brewing system that utilizes a patent-pending two kettle recirculation infusion mash process called Kettle-RIMS or K-RIMS for short. This setup gets rid of the hot liquor tank of a traditional three tier system and does away with the time consuming and somewhat complicated sparging process. Ultimately, it gives the all-grain brewer the simplicity of a brew-in-a-bag (BIAB) system, but eliminates the cloudy wort, messy and heavy lifting, all while providing better efficiency! You also get the temperature control and ramping capabilities of a traditional RIMS system. It is simple to setup and easy to use, can fit in your closet which is great for those who live in an apartment or condo, and is a very approachable way to transition from extract to all-grain brewing.
This product comes with all the pieces you need to get the ultimate BrewEasy setup, just choose the batch size you would like to brew, and you're all set! Comes with the following:
BoilerMaker Brew Pots
This BrewEasy all-in system comes with two BoilerMaker brew pots. The upper pot is the mash tun and the lower pot is the boil kettle. Based on your chosen batch sizes, here are the pot sizes that come with the kit:
Batch Size | Mash Tun (upper pot) | Boil Kettle (lower pot) |
5 gal | 7.5 gal | 10 gal |
10 gal | 15 gal | 20 gal |
20 gal | 30 gal | 30 gal |
So, How Does it all Work?
Simply start with ALL of your brewing water (liquor) for your brew day and place about half in the lower pot (boil kettle) and the remainder in the upper pot (mash tun). Set your AutoSparge, turn on the pump, and add heat. The liquor will recirculate from the boil kettle, into the mash tun, and back into the boil kettle. Recirculation flow rate is controlled by included orifices, allowing for 6 flow settings from 0.5 - 2.0 gpm. When you're at your desired temperature, turn off the pump and add your malt. Maintaining your mash temp or even ramping through several temperature rests is a breeze with the Tower of Power LTE system that is included. Just set your temp and sit back. When you're through with your mash, simply turn off the pump and let all the wort from your mash tun drain into your brew kettle and boil as normal. It's as simple as that!

Can I brew smaller batches on a BrewEasy system designed for larger batches?
Yes, you can definitely do this, but there are some caveats to note and special steps will need to be taken. The challenge is two-fold: an overly thin mash bed (which can lead to cloudy wort), mixed with a lower volume in the boil kettle (which can lead to carmelization). In general, the suggestion is to purchase the system that fits the batch size you plan to brew the most. See suggestions below:
Less than 5 gal. in 5 gal. BrewEasy
It is not recommended to brew smaller than a 4 gal. finished batch size in the 5 gal. BrewEasy.
5 gal. batch in 10 gal. BrewEasy
A minimum of 10 lbs. of grain. You'll also need the 9 in. AutoSparge float rod (SKU BE-000259-00), to accommodate the smaller mash. Maintain a minimum volume of 5 gallons in the bottom kettle at all times.
10 gal. batch in 20 gal. BrewEasy
A minimum of 20 lbs. of grain. You'll also need the 12 in. AutoSparge float rod (SKU BE-000260-00) to accommodate the smaller mash. Maintain a minimum volume of 7 gallons in the bottom kettle at all times.

Want to control your Tower of Power from your computer? Then you'll need this. The Communications cable connects directly from your computer to the Temperature Control Module. This free software provided by Blichmann Engineering needs to be installed as well (Windows XP, Vista and 7 only). The software with the Communications Cable allows you to program the Control Modules so that you can use automatic mash profile ramping, along with monitoring via your PC.
NOTE: This is not a simple USB cable. It converts the control module's RS485 protocol to USB via an embedded chip in the cable.
Use a Tower of Power with any setup your mind can create! The great thing about Blichmann Engineering products is their modular nature. Blichmann has come out with this temperature sensor fitting so that you can put the Tower of Power temperature sensor on any setup you may have! This fitting works with 1/2" NPT fittings, which are standard on most pumps and Blichmann Engineering products. This is the fitting used on the Tower of Power LTE directly after the pump, and can be used after the pump in most setups. It can also be used on the outflow of the Blichmann RIMS-Rocket to measure temperature, allowing the Tower of Power to fire when needed. It is best used as soon after the heat source as possible to minimize overshooting the set point of the control device. Perfect for those who put together their own brewing systems yet still want the control that the Tower of Power brings!
The heavyweight shelf for Blichmann's TopTier Modular Brewing Stand is the perfect shelf for holding cooler-style mash tuns. It comfortably fits the standard ten gallon mash tuns that have become so ubiquitous in home brewing for use as part of a more complex brew system. A weight capacity of 125 lbs allows the brewer to load these up with grains and strike water, mashing to create even high-gravity beers! These shelves can also be used to support kettles and/or hot liquor tanks that are heated off-system in order to gravity feed water or wort to the next tier. Made with heavy-duty 16 gauge stainless steel, these shelves can support many rectangular-style mash tuns up to 16" wide. A great addition to any brewer's dream system!
The Tower of Power stand comes standard with a mounting spot for one temperature control module, but you'll need this mounting plate if you want to mount two control modules to the stand. It can also be used for keeping two controllers together and mounting them to your own equipment. Also fits neatly on top of the TopTier utility shelf!
Now you can place your pump anywhere on your TopTier Modular Brewing Stand! This convenient mounting bracket is made specifically for March pumps but can accommodate other magnetic-driven pumps of similar size, such as Chugger Pumps. With the ability to mount your pump anywhere on the stand, you can ensure the pump is gravity primed and pumps wort and hot liquor to and from anywhere you need! A drip guard is included with the mounting bracket, protecting your pump's motor from splashing liquids. Pumps can be mounted vertically or horizontally, whatever is best for you and your brewing system!
The utility shelf is a great add-on to the TopTier Modular Brewing Stand. It can be used in addition to three main tiers to hold brewing accessories and tools. Its dimensions measure 10" x 10", the perfect area for smaller items that don't require a whole tier to themselves. With a weight capacity of 50 lbs, the utility shelf should be able to support anything you need to put on it, from pumps to chillers that aren't directly mounted to the stand. Very helpful for keeping a range of different tools, items and ingredients handy on brew day.
The Control Module provides the temperature reading and control functionality that sets this product apart from the rest. Never before has this level of sophistication been available to home brewers in such a sleek, compact, and easy to use device. All you need to do is choose your target temperature (mash tun or hot liquor tank) and the Control Module will do the rest by automatically turning on/off your burners (natural gas or propane) till the desired temperature is reached. Accurate and precise temperature control held to 0.5° F (0.25° C). Set it and forget it (we actually don't really mean that; you should definitely still pay attention but it just sounded fitting in this context!). Buy another one and control both your mash tun AND your hot liquor tank. Each Temperature Control Module comes with the following:
The adapter lid kit is the core of the BrewEasy Kettle-RIMS system and comes with all the necessary plumbing, AutoSparge, and BoilerMaker lid mount needed for the BrewEasy.
Important Product Selection Info!
See the chart below for the brew pot sizes required for each BrewEasy setup. The adapter lid kits are also dependent on the model of pots you have. If you have all G1 pots, choose the G1 adapter kits. All G2 pots, then choose the G2 adapter kit. If you are mixing models, choose the adapter kit that corresponds with your top pot (mash tun). So if you want to do a 5 gallon system and already own a G1 10 gallon pot, and want to buy a 7.5 gallon G2 pot, you will also want to choose the G2 adapter kit. Head exploding yet?

Can I brew smaller batches on a BrewEasy system designed for larger batches (i.e. a 5 gallon batch on the 10 gallon system)?
The short answer is yes, you can definitely do this, but there are some caveats to note and special steps will need to be taken. In general, the suggestion is to purchase the system that fits the batch size you plan to brew the most. Here are some tips for brewing smaller batches on each of the BrewEasy systems:
Smaller than 5 gallons in 5 gallon BrewEasy
It is not recommended to brew smaller than a 4 gallon finished batch size in the 5 gallon BrewEasy.
5 gallon batch in 10 gallon BrewEasy
When brewing smaller batches in the larger system you will encounter a thinner mash bed, which can lead to cloudier wort. Blichmann recommends at least 10 pounds of grain to avoid an overly thin mash bed. It is highly recommend to purchase the 9 in. AutoSparge float rod (SKU BE-000259-00), to accommodate the smaller mash. When brewing with gas, caramelization can be an issue with low volumes in the bottom kettle of the BrewEasy. This is especially problematic with the electric BrewEasy as the BoilCoil must remain fully submerged during operation. You should always maintain a minimum volume of 5 gallons in the bottom kettle at all times. It is important to set the AutoSparge float to maintain this minimum volume.
10 gallon batch in 20 gallon BrewEasy
When brewing smaller batches in the larger system you will encounter a thinner mash bed, which can lead to cloudier wort. We recommend at least 20 pounds of grain to avoid an overly thin mash bed.

The Tower of Power Mounting Kit for TopTier combines two of Blichmann's most incredible pieces of brewing equipment into one! The mounting kit will replace one of the legs of the TopTier stand, replacing it with the Tower of Power and effectively giving you the tower's temperature control and pumping ability as a permanent part of your TopTier system. With the precision and accuracy of the Tower of Power together with the customizability of the TopTier stand, you will be able to easily create top-quality beers. What more could a brewer want?

NOTE: The kit cannot be used with other BoilerMaker combinations or non-BoilerMaker brew pots.
***Additional Equipment Required***All you need in addition to this adapter kit is a 13/16" to 7/8" diameter hole drilled in the mash tun for the included AutoSparge, a heat source for the bottom boil kettle, and a single brew pump. Head over to our Brew Pumps page to see what we have, or you could pick up the Blichmann Tower of Power LTE stand with the March 815 pump and you'd be on your way to the ultimate setup.

Can I brew smaller batches on a BrewEasy system designed for larger batches (i.e. a 5 gallon batch on the 10 gallon system)?
The short answer is yes, you can definitely do this, but there are some caveats to note and special steps will need to be taken. In general, the suggestion is to purchase the system that fits the batch size you plan to brew the most. Here are some tips for brewing smaller batches on each of the BrewEasy systems:
Smaller than 5 gallons in 5 gallon BrewEasy
It is not recommended to brew smaller than a 4 gallon finished batch size in the 5 gallon BrewEasy.
5 gallon batch in 10 gallon BrewEasy
When brewing smaller batches in the larger system you will encounter a thinner mash bed, which can lead to cloudier wort. Blichmann recommends at least 10 pounds of grain to avoid an overly thin mash bed. It is highly recommend to purchase the 9 in. AutoSparge float rod (SKU BE-000259-00), to accommodate the smaller mash. When brewing with gas, caramelization can be an issue with low volumes in the bottom kettle of the BrewEasy. This is especially problematic with the electric BrewEasy as the BoilCoil must remain fully submerged during operation. You should always maintain a minimum volume of 5 gallons in the bottom kettle at all times. It is important to set the AutoSparge float to maintain this minimum volume.
10 gallon batch in 20 gallon BrewEasy
When brewing smaller batches in the larger system you will encounter a thinner mash bed, which can lead to cloudier wort. We recommend at least 20 pounds of grain to avoid an overly thin mash bed. We highly recommend purchasing the 12 in. AutoSparge float rod (SKU BE-000260-00) to accommodate the smaller mash. When brewing with gas, caramelization can be an issue with low volumes in the bottom kettle of the BrewEasy. This is especially problematic with the electric BrewEasy as the BoilCoil must remain fully submerged during operation. You should always maintain a minimum volume of 7 gallons in the bottom kettle at all times. It is important to set the AutoSparge float to maintain this minimum volume.
The adapter lid kit is the core of the BrewEasy Kettle-RIMS system and comes with all the necessary plumbing, AutoSparge, and BoilerMaker lid mount needed for the BrewEasy.
Important Product Selection Info!
See the chart below for the brew pot sizes required for each BrewEasy setup. The adapter lid kits are also dependent on the model of pots you have. If you have all G1 pots, choose the G1 adapter kits. All G2 pots, then choose the G2 adapter kit. If you are mixing models, choose the adapter kit that corresponds with your top pot (mash tun). So if you want to do a 5 gallon system and already own a G1 10 gallon pot, and want to buy a 7.5 gallon G2 pot, you will also want to choose the G2 adapter kit. Head exploding yet?
