Have Have you ever explored better chillers? I have a homemade thing for my propane burner pot. It's too big for the G4 that I have (35L or whatever the smaller one is), but it's WAAAAy more efficient even though it's a bit ugly. Think I'm going to sell off all my old gear and maybe that'll...

Yeah I was thinking of that too, at a min would have to run boiling wort through it a while to ensure no bacteria lives, but I got concerned my sketchy plumbing skills could let the snow leak in or wort out... I'm using the stock chiller, and it isn't that good... maybe i'll upgrade to a better...

Do you have a link to your video? I'll give it a watch.

I ended up just brewing in my kitchen, didn't have time to make a lot of beer, and very sadly my taps are all dry. Hopefully Friday!!

The float is going to be the way for me to go I just need to find one up here, or make one.

I'm pretty good at planning ahead. Another poster put up a flow control output that I'm pretty sure I'll be using.. I'll keep a few water jugs available all the time. It beats a run over to the grocery store to get brewing..

I won't be getting that one, it was another posted interested in it. I want a permanent one installed in the hous.. my water is terrible in the spring.

Interesting.. it looks like it's just an easier to store RO system, but it's pretty expensive. I can understand a use case for that for sure. In my case I think I'll plumb it into my home and use it for drinking/cooking/ice machine water as well.

Could you elaborate on this a little more? Have you come up with a way to fill a different container via float valve? This sounds optimal. *EDIT: Just saw your other post. Thanks for that tip, I love the idea. I could just have it filling my brewzilla the night before!

My pressure feels good, but I have no way to measure it. I'd rather spend a couple bucks on a pump that a pressure gauge! Thanks!

Ah - thank you, i didn't know there was a standard filter size! That's excellent information - I've been worried about installing a system then not being able to find filters down the road. Thank you!

Like this one? What size?

Hi all. I don't see any recent equipment recommendations regarding specific RO systems. I'm in Canada, so I can order most of the same models that are available in the USA as well. The most recent I see is the iSpring RCC7, although that was from 2020. I would be using it for drinking water...

I will definitly do that, I believe my brewzilla g4 is programmable for it. The only downside is grain is had to get here, I have a 2.5 hr drive or shipping, which is expensive in Canada. But I've on the prairies and there's some malters around that I can buy in nulk 50kg or so bags... so I...

Ha Haha thanks! I've been brewing for decades... just never with grain. I'm so excited for this next step in my progression, wish I did it years ago!

Fantastic! Slightly more bitter than I wanted, I made a mistake and boosted the temp to 165 when the recipie called for 154. Still interesting to taste the result. I have half of it left still, everyone who tried it was impressed (of course knowing it's a first kick at the can). I can't do...

I will. It'll be a little while yet (thankfully) until I'm covered in snow here. Just put an email into my homebrew supplier to find the connectors I need... have to go from the 1/2" stainless to some sort of food safe silicon tubing. Failing that I have a larger copper wort chiller that...

Hi all. Is this a dumb idea... I live in Canada, and I brew in my detached garage. There is no access to water during the winter.. and getting that outside would be a ridiculous cost and a lot of work.. I don't see that happening, the sewer connection would be insane costly. Good news is that...

Thanks! Cant wait to taste the result!

Just wantes to make a quick post... finakmy got my Brewzilla G4. Managed to get an all grain kit - a brown ale made by a local supplier who isnt in business now. Had a couple hiccups but the wort smells right. Pitched yeast this am - so excited. Thanks for all the advice and support to this...
