Mine has a half circle cutout that clears the inbuilt temp probe. Sits flat on the three feet with no wobbling.

Hello from another St Austell member too. We were at the brewery yesterday for a tour and some lunch.

Hello from another fairly new member from Cornwall here too.

I am watching this thread with great interest. I too am a new BZ Gen 4 owner, and new to all grain brewing after doing extract kits for many years. My first brew (Citra SMASH) in my Gen 4 was 'an experience', with mash temps over and under shooting, which took a lot of fiddling with heater % to...

I use a beer engine from one of my Corny Kegs. Just need to keep the carbonation low. I try to force carbonate around 2-3psi only. It does work very well though. I have mine set right next to my serving fridge, so only about 2 feet of pipe outside the fridge.

I can highly recommend the Muntons Flagship Hazy IPA and West Coast IPA. Ive been making them for 2 years and they are excellent and very consistent.

I'm an engineer and enjoy the whole brewing process, building up the kit, making it work, getting the process correct, and challenging myself to make better beer than I can get in the pub. Also being a Yorkshireman living in Cornwall......it makes my 'beer habit' more affordable as I really do...

2022 (When I hot back into brewing) Extract Kits - 164L 2023 Extract kits - 210L All Grain - 23L (My first all grain following early Brewzilla Christmas Prezzy....)

My Gen 4 false bottom is very tight, almost at the point that it bends when I remove it. I do have a heat exchanger plate bolted to it but this is smaller so doesn't affect the tightness. Anyone else found this?

Perfect, thankyou. I do understand what you say about just getting on with it, and my first attempts will be with just tap water as that's all I have ever used. I guess the water profiling is just knowledge for the next level.

Can anyone recommend a decent ‘Dummies Guide to Water Profiling’, which is easy to understand, and explains how to test what you have, and how to change it to what it should be? I’m afraid, even as a newcomer to all grain, I am hooked and starting my quest on producing the best Tribute Clone...

Pump off it is then. Thankyou for your help .

Doing my first all grain with Brewzilla Gen4 tomorrow. Only thing I'm unsure about is...do I re-circulate or whirlpool during the boil phase? Or should the pump be off?

Drop them an email and see if they have anything left. They had Gen 3.1.1 and Gen 4 when I went in last week. They do have one less Gen 4 now though.....it's in my utility room.

Thankyou, I'll take a look at Brewers friend also.

As an all grain virgin I'm looking at planning/recipe/notes apps. Ideally something that is as easy to use as possible. I'll be using Brewzilla Gen 4. The two main ones seem to be Brewfather and Beersmith. Is there anything else worth considering?

Thankyou everyone for your help. Pushed the button on a Gen4 and collecting from BKT next week. Now starts the search for a decent IPA recipe for a beginner.....

Hi All, I have decided it's time to make the jump from kits to all grain, and looking in particular at the Brewzilla. I think I understand the differences between the Gen 3 & Gen 4 from the marketing blurb, but I'm interested to know are there any other 'for and aginst' the Gen 3 over the Gen...

I used to strip kegs right down, but recently bought a Kegland Bucket Blaster from BKT. This cleans inside the keg and inside the in/out tubes. Use it for kegs and my All Rounder. Game changer in terms of cleaning time for me.
