Which model to choose?

• The answer mainly depends on how much beer would you like to make in one batch. Brewing a one batch takes around 5 to 6 hours. If you plan to brew from 20 to 40 litres, I suggest the Guten XL model, with a maximum capacity of 52 litres. Since you will face some wort losses through a boil- off, hop absorption and during fermentation, you will end up with approx. 40 litres of beer.

• If you go for the Guten XXL with a capacity of 70 litres, you will be able to brew approx. 60 litres of finished beer within the same amount of time.

• The Guten Simple 65-liter model, does not have a built-in recirculating pump. Due to the lack of pump, it is necessary to stir by hand the porridge of water and malt occasionally during mashing to ensure a uniform temperature throughout the porridge.

• If 60 liters of beer is not enough for you, I suggest a combination of Guten XXL and Guten Simple. This way you will be able to make a double batch. When you finnish mashing the first batch In Guten XXL, you pump the beer into Guten Simple and finish boiling and cooling in it. In the same time when the wort in Guten Simple boils, you can in parallel mashing the second batch in Guten XXL. This double batch brewing extends your cooking time for up to two hours. However, you will be capable to brew about 120 liters of beer in about 8 hours.

This are the approximate quantities since the exact values depends on the individual brewing recipe
