Why not a compromise? A beep alert on the Brewzilla AS WELL AS an alert on your phone? I personally have little use for smart phones and prefer to be in the presence of the the beer machine ;)

I think the "differential" applies to something else. The manual is yet another thing I complained about a few months ago (I think I'm now on their "hit" list :) ). I told them there was no information on the meaning of all the defaults. They agreed at the time and the person said they would...

That's what I did on Friday, when I did my second calibration (see my last message). I used the reciculation pump when doing my readings to ensure the water at the probe and in the mash area were mixed through ciculation at about the same temperature, although I didn't recirculate durign boiling...

I did my second 2-point calibration Friday night. The first time, I got into a boot-loop issue the second I enetered the second calibration point. I had to reboot and lost all my settings. So I had to start over. I entered the freezing and boiling calibration points very carefully, and today I...

I haven't been able to try it yet since I received the Brewzilla Gen 4 this Fall when the temperatures here had already dropped. I tried brewing outside the first time, but at that time I didn't have the thermal jacket, the temperature was already too cold, it was quite windy, and I could not...

No, since the colder season is upon us. I use the Brewzilla strictly for mashing purposes in the later Fall, Winter, and early Spring. I then pump the wort into my boiling vessel and boil outside on a propane stove. Once the warmer weather returns and I can boil outside again, I will exercise...

Absolutely! I received my Gen 4 a month or two ago, and I have noticed a consistent difference of about 7 degrees Fahrenheit. Even at room temperature, it is about 7 degrees lower. I contacted Kegland and they tried to convince me that 7 degrees Fahrenheit is negligible. I vehemently disagreed...

Why use the clamps? There's a hole in the lid, so it's not like you are preventing anything from coming out. I think the clamps are likely used more for extensions and for distilling purposes. I leave mine unclamped.

Thanks Teufelhunde, then the volume for the 3.1.1 must lie somewhere between 2.7 liters and 3.8 liters. Likely closer to about 3.5 liters.

If you're using a Gen 3.3.1, it wil likely be more than 2.7 liters, although 2 gallons (7.6 liters) sounds like quite a bit. Maybe others here have measured the "dead space" for the Brewzilla Gen 3.3.1 and can provide a more accurate figure. If you have the Gen 4, then it should be about 2.7 liters.

The extra 2 gallons is to account for the so-called "dead space" under the bottom screen of the pump (it is 2.7 liters in Vers 4). The amount that is above that, is the amount calculated for the mash thickness (quarts/lb. of grain). The stuck mash often has to do with this thickness and/or the...

Sorry for the terminology. With the additional volume under the pipe screen to account for, it is difficult to define the difference between single infusion and no-sparge. By single infusion, I meant to imply a no-sparge - I included the "sparge" water amount as the volume as the volume...

I had heard that the minimum batch aize that can be made on a 35 liter Brewzilla Gen 4 is 5 liters. According to my calculations, if one were to do a single infusion mash, the minimum size should actually be about 3 liters, not 5 liters. I think the 5 liter batch might apply to the 65 liter...

I've been looking for a little pump like that, but I notice the maximum temperature is only 131 F. I wonder if there's on similar to that that can handle temperatures of up to about 175 F? Or even 160 F?

Thank you! I enjoyed a homebrew - Munich Helles. Cheers!

I would love to try this out!

Thank you! I'm interested (does this code apply to Canadian homebrewers?). If so, please send me the code.

Once again - the code doesn't apply to Canadians (using Amazon.ca). Otherwise, I would have purchased one.

In only one hour, with a 120 Volt system, the temperature rose to 200F??? What was the ambient temperature?

I was referring to the WiFi temperature controller, but last week I just bought it with the lesser discount already offered by Amazon.ca.
