    Single Vessel Brewing System Temperature Stability

    Very interesting. Which leads me to the question of solutions to the problem. If I see it as a problem, for me, as worth fixing at all. I can't really do @Bobby_M method (which is prefered) of a second recirc pipe going into a metal second entrance into the vessel. I have a Brewzilla. I...

    Single Vessel Brewing System Temperature Stability

    I have a question, or a curiosity, about the "dead space" in between the walls of a ebiab basket. It is accepted that this dead space leads to a loss of efficency. And while that is accepted I remember @doug283cz reporting that when tested, the loss in efficiency was actually less than...

    Which Jaded chiller for Brewzilla Gen 4 35 liter, brewing 4 gallons

    @Yooper I think trading is the answer to your issue. For example, I have now dropped from five gallon to three gallon batches. And in ebiab. This means my Scylla is now protruding a bit above the top of the wort. It still works great, but I look at the Jaded ones that are lower. I would...

    Kegs on boats?

    I am happy with my set up. 36 foot sailboat. a 2.5 ballon steel keg sits in the fridge. Takes up about a third of the fridge space, which is fine, as that space used to be filled wiht beer cans. carbonated by a soda stream canister with a kegland 360 regulator. on the beverage outlet, I...

    Which Jaded chiller for Brewzilla Gen 4 35 liter, brewing 4 gallons

    You will like it. The speed of it is not just due to stainless vs copper. It’s that it is three coils connected in series. In normal IC, after a few feet, the cold tap water gets hot and is no longer effective. You could make the coil a mile long and it would not help much But in a...

    Which Jaded chiller for Brewzilla Gen 4 35 liter, brewing 4 gallons

    I have been now using my Jaded IC. Simple tap water. It's excellent. Super fast. Easy to clean.

    Do I even need to recirc for an overnight mash?

    I see. Perhaps the best way to achieve temperature control then, is to conduct an overnight vorlauf after all Forgive me if I mention something everybody knows, but I recently bought a Heat Diffuser Plate for the Brewzilla. I think this is relevant. Before, the recirc pump would pull...

    Do I even need to recirc for an overnight mash?

    With my system, the only advantage I can see with recirculating, is that the flow may help intermingle the wort in the stagnant space between the basket wall, and the wort in the main body. But I’m guessing that the mere thermal currents, spread out over eight hours, should do some...

    Do I even need to recirc for an overnight mash?

    I think I agree. In my particular circumstances of course. The Bluetooth thermometer controls the heat source, so that the center of the mash maintains the desired temp. When I use this thermometer I turn off the machines internal temp sensor. The Brewzilla literature even says that...

    Do I even need to recirc for an overnight mash?

    I’m starting to wonder if recirc is even necessary. In my circumstances. In an overnight, full volume, small batch mash in my Brewzilla, I have been running the recirc pump, on low, with the hose coiled and resting on the mash, under water. I understand that advantage of recirc is to get...

    What grind gap for my system?

    Good. Another reason to overnight mash.

    Choose a reverse osmosis system

    Ok. Done. I chose to deal with Buckeye. Mainly because of the phone support. As a Canadian, amazon seemed better at first, due to the high shipping cost from Buckeye. Russ was very helpful indeed. I think this is the only way to go. If you are going to buy a system, I think you...

    Choose a reverse osmosis system

    Thanks day_tripper Would this tankless option be sufficient? eighty bucks is better than two hundred bucks. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0897G8QDV?smid=A37OALT7GNXXGU&psc=1

    Choose a reverse osmosis system

    Do you have to buy a tank? @Bobby_M advises, helpfully, on a RO system. however, I see they all have tanks. I plan to only run it directly into the BK, so no need for a tank. But the only tankless options are the cheap $70 three stage kits. It appears that to get a good five stage RO...

    Choose a reverse osmosis system

    I would only use this for brewing. And don't need a tank as I'll follow your advice and put it directly into the brewing machine with a float

    Bobby, I'm having trouble finding those on my amazon.ca. Can you point me to a link? And is this perhaps the right one...

    What grind gap for my system?

    I see. That is helpful. That is why my guy mills at .039. It works for all his customer's jobs. I think I'll stay with my guy and have him double crush.

    What grind gap for my system?

    Good evening all. Question about the grind gap. I have a AIO Brewzilla gen 4 35 liter. I make three gallon batches. Overnight mash with a continuous and gentle vorlauf. Full volume mash, no sparge. My lhss grinds at 1 ml or .039 inch. He will do a double crush, which helps a bit...
