Unibräu Grain Basket

Actually, I ordered the 20-gallon Kettle and Grain basket. I have had the 10-gallon Unibrau system for several years and loved that I could easily upgrade the system as I grew due to it's modular design. So, when it came time for me to upgrade to a larger system, Unibrau was really the only choice I had, because I was spoiled.
I received the upgrade about 8 days after I ordered it. Brau Supply got the order out the day after I ordered it, but with customs and having it sit for several days in Seattle, then Tacoma... it was 8 days.
The upgrade came unharmed due to some aggressive packaging. I finally brewed my first batch yesterday and it was amazing. All my attachments were easily repurposed with the exception of my brew bag and hop spider. The new kettles come with 5 Tri-clamp ports and that makes for some great configurations. It took me only 45-minute longer to brew a10 gallon batch as it did for me to brew a 5 gallon batch in my previous 10-gallon kettle. The markings on the kettle are clear and pretty concise. I always used a Brewbag as a strainer in the 10-gallon kettle and even though my old Brewbag was wide enough to use in this system, it was not deep enough. So, I brewed without a bag and with the new laser-cut grain basket (false bottom) it worked out great. We searched for stray grains in the wort after sparging and I would say that it was less than a dozen.
It really was a flawless transition from the 10-gallon kettle to the 20-gallon kettle, which is exactly what a modular system is supposed to do.
I downloaded the 20-gallon Unibrau equipment profile and inserted it into Beersmith 3.0 with no modifications to get a baseline and it was spot-on on every level. My efficiency in the mash was 82.1% which is what I normally get in my 10-gallon system. Oh year, and it is cool looking too.
As I looked for opposing things to say or things I would change about this upgrade, I simply could not find any. Thanks Brau Supply for yet another fantastic product.

The unibrau system is not only very well made but works like a charm. The grain basket is outstanding. One piece of kit to clean, this system has cut my brew day from 8+ hrs start to cleanup to about 4.5 hrs. So much more enjoyable.

The kettle and grain basket arrived as promised in about 2 weeks from the original order date. As soon as it arrived we put it to the test with a big NE IPA it worked exceptionally well! No grain in the boil kettle and no stuck mash! Recirculated without any issues. The only thing that anyone buying this should know is that there is a learning curve with efficiency, like any new system. With that being said everyone using this system loves the design and the simplicity. So keep up the good work and we look forward to purchasing more products from you in the future as the whirlpool and hop filters both look like top quality additions to this system. Thanks again and cheers!

System is very well built and do think it will last a life-time. Easy to clean and store. A nice all-in-one system that made upgrading to all-grain perfect. While it is overall more expensive than some competing systems, I think the build quality is excellent and it's nice that all the parts are modular.

I am a BIAB brewer that wanted to go electric with the versatility of having Tri Clamp ports. This is one of the only kettles on the market that have 3 Tri Clamp ports all along the bottom of the kettle. This makes it so easy to switch out thermo wells heating elements and ball valves. The quality of the welds are superb and the thick stainless steel screams reliability. So far I love this kettle and am happy with the purchase and customer support
