Welcome! Would love to see a homemade Sahti someday.

A few times for my peace of mind (used Brett or diastatic yeast), using my Brewzilla 65L G4, I've dumped 185F PBW/Water into my Spike conical with EDPM gaskets and let them sit overnight. Had one gasket swell a bit, but only one gasket, one time. On a positive note, never seem them more clean...

Not sure if Kegland is watching this or not, but I am looking for a synopsis of software updates that the machine auto downloads. The reason why I ask is that I went to brew two days ago, and the 65L Gen4 downloaded an update. Following this update, the way the PID worked changed and...

Pretty close to you...using 0.030" for wheat and rye. Did a Witbier with tons of wheat milled to that, and with 1lb rice hulls it turned out fine.

I was in round 1 and have used the Spike mill for three batches ranging from 12-20lb of malt. Here's the punch line--I love this mill. The recirc and flow through the grist is better and I am not sure why, at the same gap distance. Efficiency is about the same, maybe slightly higher. So easy...

In the "Buy it once, only cry once" genre of brewing equipment, I am so glad I bought the newly released Spike mill. It replaced a three roller, drill driven setup and does a much more consistent and easier job. My efficiency went up slightly, but more importantly to me, the efficiency I am...

Just found this as well... Zinc Buddy in 1L size for $28. Looks like about 2ml for a 5gal batch size would hit the 0.2ppm level. https://www.whitelabs.com/enzymes-nutrients-detail?id=340&page=2&type=ENZYMENUTRIENT

Have you worked out a dosage guideline for typical beer batch sizes? Do you drop this in at yeast pitch?

great price...but the same freezer is showing $188 now. Must have been a sale, but a great deal.

Just curious, but why the tinfoil on the posts?

Go to this link: https://www.kegland.com.au/products/brewzilla-65l-gen-4 Download the manual, and the "default" settings are on page 35 in the table. Those settings are very different from what the BZ65L was first released with. Perhaps it neuters the PID down some, but I can say it is working...

I've been tempted to buy my first, non-Tesla EV, but think I need to wait until NACS in on the car I am looking for. For example, the Mach-E California edition is a >300 mile range EV that priced to sell right now, but with a CCS charge port. Maybe all the issues are being worked out, but I am...

Love, love, love Whale Pod products. I ship about 2 times a month, mostly for competitions, and I've been exclusively using Whale Pod 6-bottle packs for about 8 months. Never had a single one broke with Whale Pod, and still easy to package up and ship out.

I bought one of the first Gen4 65L's in the US and been using it for about 17 months and around 34 batches. I usually brew 5.75 gal batches, but have done 8 & 11 gallon batches as well. Tried every combination of PID settings, BT themometer and HED use that I can think of. Watched the David...

Just used this yeast on a Munich Helles. Based on how quickly it fermented at 50F and the initial taste test result, I will definitely use this yeast again. For the maltier german lagers, this is my new go-to.
