Thank you. Obviously I did not drill mine perfectly then. :( What does the top look like? Can you still see the black oring or is it recessed fully in the hole you drilled? The YouTube video suggested tapering the top which I did but probably not enough. I think someone could make a few...

For anyone that has successfully installed the temperature tube, how did you do it? The metal nut that goes inside is much larger than the notched groves so it won't bite into the fitting properly. I took a dremel and removed as much material as I could so the screw now gets at least 2-3...

Thank you for the video link! I was not very happy with the leak I couldn't seem to fix coming from the jar o-ring. After round 3 of tightening, it seemed to work. I removed the jar, re-lubed the oring and reinstalled it hand tight only. No visible leaks after 1 hour. Update: It was my...

Thanks for this excellent giveaway! I'm in.

I've only ever brewed all grain twice in my life. The first time was with a 16 gallon pot on a propane heater in my garage. That system lost about 1 gallon of water an hour during the boil. The second time ever brewing all grain was with this Brewzilla 35L and it looses 1/2 gallon per hour...

First batch of beer completed using the Brewzilla 35L. I was so overly focused on volume capacity that I WAY overdid the amount of water needed. I used the same amount of water (about 9 gallons) that I had previously used with the propane heater and a 16 gallon pot. This time, I ended up with...

Well I spoke with Mike from Morebeer.com and he convinced me that a 35L brewzilla was plenty for what I was doing. I will have to report back after my first brewing experience but looking at this 35L in person makes me think it might actually be better than the 65L because I can make smaller...

Thanks Carolina_Matt. In anticipation of purchasing a 220v unit (35L or 65L) I decided to visit lowes and picked up an L14-30r outlet, a 40 foot extension cable, 14-30 to 6-30 converter cable and a GFCI unit from Amazon and made my own power drop. I ran a 40 ft extension cord because I'm in...

So they threw a curve ball at me! I ordered the 65L and they shipped the 35L. Their mistake so they offered a $50 refund should I choose to stick with the 35L. Does that change things? Is the 35L something I can grow with or am I really going to be kicking myself for not holding off for the...

Thanks Cato1507. I came to the same conclusion after visiting my local brew supply shop. He sold me on the idea of a 16 gallon pot for 5 gallon batches. Also, the batch I recently made resulted in the decision to go with the larger 65L tank and here's why: I started with a 13 pound grain...

Assuming price is not an issue AND you're only going to brew 5 gallon batches, which fermzilla would you purchase? Also, assume you already have a 220v line. :) As simple of a question as this is, I just can't decide.

I'd be interested in the cooktop too if the sale falls through.

So what's the verdict overall? I really like the Anvil Foundry's ability to switch between 120/240v but I also like the brewzilla v3.1 because it doesn't seem to have the same problem with the tall mash basket (with side holes). I also like the Grainfather but it's EXPENSIVE and it's only 120v.

Updated: I understand that shipping can be a pain so I'm going to just buy one online. Thanks and good luck with the sale.

If it's still available, I would like to buy it. I'm in Buffalo, NY so shipping shouldn't be too bad.

So I'm just getting around to installing the mybrewbot and I have to admit that it took me about 2 hours to get setup. Once you get the hang of it, it's fairly straight forward but a lot of things aren't very intuitive. Digital temp probe (purchased one with the bot) works very well once you...

Brew Jacket Immersion Pro Electric Fermentation Temperature Control (Cooling + Heat) w/ Carboy/Brewbucket Insulated Wrap/Jacket, 5-8 Reusable/Sanitizable Rod Sleeves, & Ss Brewtech Brew Bucket Fermenter Lid w Pre-drilled Hole for Rod/System - Dropped to $220 Pickup I'm interested in this but I...

Any updates? I have a unit on order right now (plus one digital temp probe) which cost me about $78usd with shipping. I plan on using it along with these to control temperature of my (yet to be built) fermentation fridge. I'm also thinking of purchasing the Tilt since this unit solves the...

One week in Primary along with 1oz of Citra and 1oz of Simco. I added the champagne yeast as well as the Yeast Enhancer and it did slowly ferment over the course of the week. FG was STILL 1.020 and officially giving up on lowering FG...time to drink it. :)

So I added 2tsp of Yeast Enhancer after the beer got back up to 60F...and this happened (see picture). Beer foamed up to about 2-3 times it's volume. After it settled down, I cleaned off the bottle and pushed forward but I have no idea what was taken out of the beer (hopefully just CO2). Once...
