I'm interested - thanks for the offer! By the way, the extra 20% discount code does not work in Canada (Amazon.ca).

I made a beer using Philly Sour with 9 3/4 ounces of dry hops (Idaho 7, Sabro, Chinook, Citra and Lemondrop) rather than fruit, which I dry-hoppped for 5 days. It ended up tasting very much like a fresh grapefruit (not too bitter), which is quite nice on a hot day. It was a little strong in...

Yes, you can order it from here: Sprinkler Head Sparge Arm with 26 The arm actually just fits inside the Brewzilla but is a little tight, so I'm planning to cut about 1/2" from each end of the arm. This is easily doable with a hacksaw. The rubber ends easily come off and on. The only...

Just today, I purchased a rotating sparge arm for my Brewzilla. The existing configuration using only a crude hose for circulation made little sense. With this rotaing sparge arm, most of the trub and cold break should hopefully remain at the top part of the grain bed. In addition, the wort...

Thank you. I would be interested in the WiFi version.

No Inkbird ITC-308 temperature controler deal for Canada?

Brewing indoors is not an option for me. My stove has one of those fake vents - no vent to outside, it only blows the steam back into the kitchen. However, mashing doesn't produce enough steam to worry about, so I will mash inside with the Brewzilla during the winter and boil outside in the...

I'm planning to get rid of two 10-gallon insulated coolers that I used for mashing - they take up a lot of room. I can't get rid of my boil kettle since I purchased a 110v Brewzilla. It's fine in the late Spring, Summer and early Fall, but will be inadequate for our very cold winters (I brew...

Just trying to be honest and practical - no criticism intended. I've been brewing for FAR too long! Started with the Charlie Papazian way when you had to rub sticks together to start a fire :)

But I don't understand this need for "speed"? If you start heating the sparge water on the stove near the beginning of the mash - ot even later - there's no need for speed. It's all totally heated and ready to go by the time you need it, even on a slow stove. Oh, I get it. You're addicted to new...

I could never understand why it is necessary to purchase a tea kettle or an expensive sparge water heater. It is so incredibly easy and inexpensive to just heat sparge water in a pot on the stove. Why is that no longer an option?

I've always used 1.5 quarts per pound of grain for a long time, and now that I have a Brewzilla, I plan to keep it the same unless someone gives me a complelling reason to change.

So you sometimes do a mash, save it later for the boil, do another mash, then add both for the boil all on one brewday? Have you considered using more grain, but a lower water-to-grain ratio for the mash? I think you can go as low as about 1 quart per pound of grain. Then you would make up the...

Thanks, GoodTruble. I'm surprised at how high your brewhouse efficiency is!

Unfortunately, the exhaust fan on our stove does not connect to an outside vent. It only blows the steam back out into the kitchen.

I have seen a lot of efficiency numbers throughout this thread, but it is never clear whether that is Mash Efficiency or Brewhouse Efficiency. For the Gen 4 120v Brewzilla, what is your typical: 1. Brewhouse efficiency; 2. Mash efficiency; 3. Boil off rate; and 4. Mill gap size. I know there...

Soon I will provide my own observations, but I understand that it takes about 45 minutes to get to mash temperature using the 110V system, and another about 45 minutes to get to boil temperature (to save time, it is best to start raising the temperature at full wattage as soon as you start the...

One of the quickest, easiest, cheapest way of heating sparge water is using a 1500 watt immersion heater coil. Just hang it into a container with water and use a temperature controller with it. Stirring it once in a while will help keep the temperature consistent. If 1500 watts is too much for...

I just received my Brewzilla Gen 4 last week (110 Volt system). 1. There are two ways to sparge. The first way is to mash, mash out, then lift the pipe to drain completely. Then start adding sparge water to the grain, using say a 2-liter measuring container, pouring gently over the grains. The...

Or Canada (Amazon.ca)? Thanks.
