Reading the posts on various forums about the trials and tribulations the long suffering owners of the Brewzilla G4 has to warm the cockles of your heart that you haven't got one.The shame of it. I'm outed as a non-Brewzilla gen 4 user on the Brewzilla gen 4 thread.
I've been using mine for about 18 months, I've not had any problems apart from forgetting to turn my Bluetooth thermometer on once until about 30 minutes into the mash.

Going to be firing mine up this aft.
Different subject.
As the resident Antipodean expert I'm hoping you can answer a question -
I've started listening to a podcast (ooo, we should have a recommend me a podcast thread) called "a problem squared" presented by two Australians - Bec Hill and Matt Parker. When Matt says a word that ends in WN like blown or flown he inserts a vowel sound between the W and the N so he says blowen and flowen.
Is this an Australian accent thing or just him ?
We have had some threads ver of topic but....

I listen to that one too
I have a friend who's lived his whole life in Wiltshire who does the samething: "unknowen" etc. So I don't think it's just an Aussie thing (if it is an Aussie thing).

No a lot of Australians speak like that usually from being poorly educated area. The worst one is arksed for asked, then you know for sure their education was bad.

@Agentgonzo ,@foxy sounds like a kind of affectation then, he actually said unknowen in an episode I listened to whilst brewing (must update the what did you... thread). It's maybe a bit like youngsters saying marshmellow instead of marshmallow , took ages to re-program my daughters so they said it right.

I don't think it's an affectation (designed to impress or sound pretentious). I just think that's how they were taught/learned to pronounce the 'wn' pair. When pronouncing it "unknowen" they are actually pronouncing the w, whereas the 'typical' pronunciation just kind of skips over the 'w'. A lot of the non indigenous English South Africans I have met have a similar pronunciation.
It's just a different way of pronouncing the letters like a local dialect.

Regular.
If recirculating during mash, even very slowly, then water under the false bottom is not dead space.
But water between the malt pipe (above side perforations) if you're using it, and side wall is. Unless you recirculate water there, 'outer revirculation', by sticking recirc pipe down a lifting hole at times.
Mash efficiency gets higher, with a more dilute wort. So best to minimise any unused/dead water, rather than just mixing it in (diluting wort) at end of mash.
Why dont you want to do any sparge?
I generally do a thin mash, with water of around the batch volume (say 23L), then sparge with around 9L.
I've stopped sparging. I prefer to have a thin mash and then draining/pressing the grains.
With yesterday's brew I also experimented with a slow re-circ, had it set to 20% (I usually try and get it to 100%). It worked fine with a stable temperature.
Nearly forgot - I always had to mess about with the re-circ pipe as it was so long, trying to get it so that the wort came out somewhere close to (or pointing to) the middle/top of the mash. So I bought myself a few metres of silicon pipe and cut a length so that it was just under the surface and was naturally in the middle. When I do brews of different lengths I'll cut a length to match so I'll end up with a set of matching pipes.
