"You can expect a full 5 lb. CO2 cylinder to last for 8-10 five gallon Cornelius kegs." But, per the website: "A 15 pound Carbon Dioxide cylinder will last for 20-30 five gallon Corny Kegs once it is filled."

Same thing that I found. It's accurate at the point you first calibrate, when you calibrate. Next time water temp reaches that point, the reading is not the same.

I purchased mine through MoreBeer and contacted MoreBeer directly about all of the issues I was seeing and experiencing. MoreBeer was great and exchanged the first one. They also accepted a return of the second one and refunded the purchase price, so I'm out of the game. The last two straws...

I wasn't able to find the original post that mentioned the 111.3F (should that be 211.3F?) But. note that the boiling point is for pure water. Few, if any of us brew with pure water and the boiling temp that we most often see is for wort, which is probably not going to be the same as water. For...

How about 10 minutes of boiling wort and then take it out and put it in a sanitized brew kettle or bucket (ensuring not to melt the plastic)?

If using the whirlpool arm during cooling and the mash recirc to transfer, the thing you'll have to work out, as far as process goes, is how you keep both sanitized. Both can be sanitized with hot wort during the boil, but one will have to be removed and kept in a sanitary manner until it is needed.

I bought the whirlpool arm when I purchased mine. I was planning on using it to circulate the wort while using the immersion chiller instead of constantly stirring. I'm not sure how you would use it while mashing, though

So as to not derail this thread and duplicate what has been posted in the Gen 4 thread, it may be best to review or checkout the separate Gen 4 thread.

Yep, some issues as noted in the Gen 4 thread. I'm going to be requesting to return mine. This is the second one I've returned in the past couple of weeks. I thought the Gen 4 would be an improvement in brewing over my current DigiBoil with mashing unit. Boy was I wrong.

Well, I must be cursed, as far as BrewZillas go. I left the water in the unit overnight and decided I would do the two point calibration today. I turned the unit on and switched it to Metric readings, per the advice in the earlier post. The difference between the ADC and the Smoke was about 4C...

Has anyone checked the accuracy and consistency of the built in temperature sensor and readings? I unpacked the unit, plugged it in and went through the initial setup. The display showed 59.3F. It is winter in MN, but I don't keep my house that cold. I realize the sensor is not intended to...
