One other thing; Kegland say this is suitable for 30L brews... not way would I ever attempt a 30L brew in that vessel. It is maxed out at 35L boil off must be near 3.5L/hr so the preboil wort would be just below the rim even for a 1Hr boil I normally do a 90 min boil. I really think a sensible...

Well Brewzilla ordered yesterday and delivered today... well done Rolling beers! I just unpacked and first impressions are that it looks pretty good quality and comes well protected. The grain basket is maybe a bit thin sheet metal but the main kettle is not bad. I am used to the S40 which is...

Yes I went on there yesterday. I need quick fit connetors for the chiller a HED and a BT thermometer. I could get them all from the UK but it is actually cheaper and less hassle to get them from China! One thing I notice right away with the Brewzilla why send out something to the EU which has...

You may well be correct I have not looked yet. Alexpress have a Kegland store and to be honest the prices are pretty good compared to what I have seen from UK suppliers even if you take postage into account. The thing about Aliexpress is they take VAT into account so there are not issues and if...

Well Brewzilla G4 35L has been ordered. There are some things needed that do not come with it and believe it or not it is cheaper and much more convienent to order these things from China than buy them from the UK! Since Brexit buying things from the UK has become a nightmare and just not worth...

I think the best plan is for a 35L kettle to be honest. I have a 40L for bigger brews and it can be used for a sparge water heater with pumping facilities onboard . Think I am going down the Brewzilla 35L route .

I truely think GF kit is a better standard of kit, I currently use a S40. If I had the know how I would try to mate a modern PID bluetooth control unit to it as it is very well made... but I lack the knowhow to do it even if it is possible. I did think the Bz boil extender was a good option for...

I think ,like yourself, that the first 10 to 30 minutes is the most vital time for temperature monitoring especially since I use an S40 which does not control the heating very well. I do mostly English style beers, strange you may think for a Scotsman , which are all single infusion mashes. I...

Not like me but I have had a rethink on capacity 🤣 I know what you are muttering... make your F'n mind up will ya 🤣 However I think I have a good reason. I really enjoy my brewdays so naturally want to brew frequently. The G40 is too small a volume to make two fermenters worth I need 50L plus...

These thing are all knocked together in China and as such the quality should be similar but the GF I currently have is a stout bit of kit, double walled kettle which actually negates the need for a thermal jacket! Any way one vote for the Bz it would seem athumb..

Yes you are right I have even commented on it eejit or what 😂 To be fair though this is more about one size and focused on build quality and just between two different brands... does that get me out of jail ?😂

OK just looking for honest opinions. So money is not the issue what are the opinions GF G40 or BZ G4 65L . I am tempeted to go for the G40 because of quality but is this actually right? The BZ does make a larger volume if required so that is a plus on its side if I want to fill two fermenters...

So with the hop rocket can you use that for multiple hop additions? Like say three different timed additions as in a normal boiler or do they all have to be added as one addition ?

372L but to be fair about 50L of that was to see me well into the newyear as I have ahd an opertaion and heavy lifting is out until probably end of February.

I take samples from the sampling tap on my conicals which is a good way of not only measuring the gravity near the end of fermentation but having a sup to test the flavour and have a look at the clarity. I know my normal fermetation times so seldom do more than a couple of tests. I have to say I...

Not here my friend the GF40 is €1355 and the BZ G4 L is €1028 so a bit cheaper but not earth shattering.

To be honest I do not stir my grains maybe those do will reply. If I had a stuck mash I would stir though. I think a stir after 15 and 30 mins would not do much harm though you should still get clear wort at the end of the boil.

I would agree you do get what you pay for but that does not negate thermodynamics. edit one thing that favours the G30 is the dead space is only 3.5L so mixing of that and the wort from the reciculation should be better.

Agree!

I think poeple are misinterperting what is being said here. There is nothing wrong with the temperature sensor as such. What I am saying is that the dispalyed temperature and the measured temperature of recirculated wort are not always the same... the should be as that is the reason to...
