I have the same problem. I found that PBW does not clean everything. I found that using citric acid as a follow up takes care of all remaining films & smells.

Call Morebeer. I had one I got that had a huge dent in the side making it unusable. They immediately replaced it.

I use 12 Psi as my set pressure. Set my temp to 36f. Wait 7-10 days. Always finishes 2.4-2.7 volume depending on beer style. Perfect every time. I have been using this method for over 20 years.

Use a magic eraser. It is gentle and will not score the stainless steel but will get rid of the scum that PBW won’t touch. I have also used citric acid to clean calcium & lime off the stainless surface. Both things are great to solve the problems.

Did you read my replay about how to recalibrate?

I looked at many all in one systems because I needed to reduce my space profile for doing all grain. I settled on the Brewzilla Gen4 because it offers more options than other for the price. All these systems have problems. There is a learning curve for everyone & all batches you brew are...

I need to add that life on the Brewzilla becomes much easier if you use a secondary thermometer for the mash & you utilize the recirculating function & adjust your heating percentages accordingly.

I have the Brewzilla 35l. By no means am I telling you what to do. I had a huge learning curve to get this unit to work as expected. Calibration is number one. In settings set to controller to forget calibration and start with calibration 1. This is important: don’t do this while brewing. Just...

The single fermenter method is working for me either the same results as the two stage method.

I recalibrated my Gen4. I have done this several times an my last attempt was from the bottom temp first. Go to”Forget Calibration” and save. Next: put 3 gal of water into the kettle. Set a calibrated probe in the water and turn heating elements on. A note to remember: We mash-in from...

I use a kegerator set to 36f @ 12PSI. for a week. I get between 2.4 to 2.7 volume of CO2. The lower your temp the faster CO2 dissolves. The other thing that I do is fit all my corny kegs with a carbonation stone. You take the appropriate size silicon tube, attach it to the in post, place the...

I do the same. Both last time and this one I tasted the beer and both times is tastes sour with none of the traditional grapefruit after taste. If it's an infection of two of the same beer, that has never happened to me, and it would be the first time in 35 years. This is why I am switching...

When I make Cinook IPA in an All Grain with either S04 or S05, for some reason I get the same thing happening. With certain yeasts strains, under some conditions, I have found that these yeast clumps remain after my fermentation is completed and verified through my gravity readings. I ignore...

Someone wrote that they are using the Cole Palmer precision probe thermometer. I would like to find out what model or item is being used

I gave up. After 7 hours of trying to get the calibrations correct what I get on my controller is this: NF or NC Any ideas what this means? This is actually the third controller that I have had issues.

I have spent over 7 hours trying to get Cal 1 working correctly since you told me to make the adjusyment. I cannot figure our why this controller is becoming such a huge issue now. I had it working perfectly before you had me make an adjustment to the Cal 1 set point. I have worked on...

I Cal 1 to 64C. Filled my kettle wit 6 gallons of water. Started the controller to test it. IT FAILED! I adjusted the temp to 50C to account for the water temp. IT FAILED. I switched to PID & got nothing but errors. I am stuck. The controller stopped working!

I tried to run this using PID and got nothing but low and hi temp errors. P was set for .48, and I was set for .0020. Immediately I statred get one alarm after another. I adusted my setting to see if I could eliminate the alarms. Nothing worked. I turned off PID and went back to my...

Since I only brew in the Brewzilla, I would expect my Cal1 temperature lowest point to be 64C. Since this is my lowest potential mash in do you want me to go back to Cal 1 and enter this value?

I understand everything that is being said in your comments. I had tremendous ploblems with two controllers and on the final controller I continued to have calibration issues. I tried PID and had even more problems. I was getting wild errors of under and over temps. The ranges were ranges...
