Hi! My brewds and me are also having one 65l in the order. What I dont get yet: How do you transfer after cooling with the brewzilla with all that trub and hops inside? Are you using the tap, or are you using an extra hose, sucking from near the surface? Regards from Germany
Thanks for watching! I transfer from the tap. The system has the false bottom on the malt pipe to filter out grain particles and a false bottom on the bottom of the unit that help filter out hop matter. There will always be some hops that make it into the fermenter but if you want, you can use a kitchen strainer on the back end to filter out any remaining matter that the two filters don’t get.
Thanks for the video . I'm eagerly saving for the gen4 65L, about 2 months away. Having trawled through UA-cam, you guy guys seem to have the only recent footage. Always hanging for new content 🍻🍻
Yeah sure did, a dozen single batches in 2 months & loving it! After the first batch, blocked tap, I diverted the centre drain from the pump direct to tap and no issues since. So far the credit card thickness on the mill works great. Excellent flow during mash and sparge, using hulls for wheat and oats styles but not sure I really need to.. The bluetooth thermometer for the last 4 batches has been OK, tend to overshoot mash steps by 2-4°c sometimes (no PID) but dialling that in slowly by turning the heat % down or off a few degrees shy of desired temp. Overall, a great system eh. 🍻
Stir your mash 30 min into mashing. I do 11 gal batches and am hitting 70-73% every time. I agree that doing bigger beers equals lower efficiency with these systems. I hope this helps.
Sorry buddy just seeing this now! It's a siphon spray wort aerator. I'm going to make a video on it, enough people have been asking! Here's the purchase link. www.morebeer.com/products/siphon-spray-wort-aerator.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwgsqoBhBNEiwAwe5w0zW55vQ47WVx6N1IExXNc6_U9aV8AQvereIiaLMeIUnjuLnbGAcZPBoCBAcQAvD_BwE
Might I suggest lifting the basket a couple of times during mash. That will at least equal out the Temps through the mash. I know it helps my efficiency.
Interesting video -I have a brewzilla65 gen 4 and am currently getting 80% efficiency on 45lt final vol batch-5% abv. I had a huge efficiency jump when started using the kegland mash stirrer that goes on end drill for mash in & also use PID settings & reduce power to 50% on mash for more consistent temp. My mill size is about 1mm. PH -5.3 mash. Will be interested to see your tweaks.
Any time you are mashing in a tall small diameter brewing vessel there will be challenges in attaining temperature consistency between the top of the mash pipe and the bottom. Kegland somewhat addresses this issue in the video on their UA-cam channel titled " Achieve More Repeatability Using, PID, RAPT BLE Temp Probe and Heat Exchanger Dish " Hope this helps.
First thanks for uploading, there are not a lot of people using this system yet. Its not my intention to give a lecture but would like to share whats in my mind to help. Having 14 batches on my Brewzilla gen4, i would believe you are right. It may be the grain crush. I also like to use ricehulls which may come from finer crush. Maybe also mash ph. I did actually learn a lot from watching @homebrewnetwork would recommend.
Thanks for sharing. Having fun dialing in the BZ here too..
You know it buddy!!
lol, 16:30.. sorry for interrupting boss. Good stuff and a successful brew day either way. We alway work to hone in on the process on our equipment.
So true man. I had other footage I would've kept in of me talking to you but it was too niche. Nobody would've understood haha. Cheers brother. - Nick
Thanks for sharing your brew day. Cheers!
Thanks so much Easan! - Nick

Thanks for the fast answer! Good to hear! Looking Forward for our first brew with that!

That's awesome, thank you so much for watching! Also don't hesitate to reach out with questions. The unit itself is well worth it.
Did you end up getting it?

I think the Bluetooth thermometer is really essential on this system. It was my main reason for upgrading from the 3.1.1.
I agree with you!
Hey mate! Where did you buy that little mash recirculating nossle that you have on the end of the hose? Looks neat!

Get yourself a rapt Bluetooth thermometer and control the temp from the top, that will help and speed up brew day
Do you mind sharing where to find the table the Brewzilla stands?.
Thank for sharing your content cheers!
It's a pneumatic pump table!
@@exit12homebrew nice thank you.

Hi. How to score a recipe in the Rapt program?
What do you mean score it?
@@exit12homebrew How to make a recipe ?
Rapt doesn't allow you to make a recipe as far as I know. It helps schedule the brew day.
