I recently switched to a Brewzilla 35 with a steam condenser so that I can brew indoors with no condensation or smell issues. I love it! Except that it is very difficult to monitor boil rate (or remaining volume level, depending how you look at it) since everything is sealed. I installed an external sight glass tube but that requires pausing the boil in order to get a steady reading.
Has anyone tried putting their electric brew kettle on a continuous-duty scale and using weight readings to determine wort volume change? Seems to me that it would be the best approach if it can be done with reasonable accuracy and reliability, but those are 2 big IFs…
