Brewzilla Gen 4 advice and experiences

[Davegase]

I always use leaf hops, but have them in a hop spider to keep them from sticking to the bottom or clogging the bazooka filter. Easier to clean up afterwards too.

If you don't have a hop spider, use a fine mesh bag.

Where are you fitting a bazooka on the Brewzilla gen 4

The shame of it. I'm outed as a non-Brewzilla gen 4 user on the Brewzilla gen 4 thread.

Hoist by my own petard. Or in this case bazooka.

If it's total water, then no. The only reason to consider it is when calculating mash water as it is in effect dead space then.

thanks

No need to consider dead space.
But depending on your batch size and grain bill you may not get the full amount of water in at the start.
If you use the brewfather app make a copy of the existing Brewzilla G4 equipment profile then edit it for no sparge. Include grain volume in mash limits. and set the Max to what you are comfortable with. and it will calculate if you need to top up in the boil.View attachment 105473

Though if any system could do with one it's the Gen 4.

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.
