Thanks hop it!
Don't ask don't get
I was looking at that exact one but I wasn't sure if it would be the right size or indeed stay in without a nut.
Also are they food safe?

I agree with the relationship conundrum. That's why I thought a phone call to them might be most productive. Mention you're a brewer / startup and you might get a sample.
If I was going to try breweries I'd see if there are any gluten free brewers as they do use a lot of enzymes as routine.
Sadly with Covid Visas etc can't see a trip back to UK in the near future otherwise I'd just load up with bottles of the stuff.
Regarding your thought about malt pipe height and diameter I'm not so sure.
I use the Guten 70 and the malt pipe is about 30 cm across, I am starting to do more brews to make 50 litres of wort but I find that a rapid sparge is a problem with the larger and if I'm aiming for 25 litres of wort the same. The efficiency has been the same as well. I'm making every effort to slow down the sparge to improve extraction.

Noticed your comment above but not the thread. Sounds promising for you all.
Regarding height and diameter I was watching short circuit brewing first comments on a new blichmann ( likely very expensive ) brew system.
The interesting bit was the sparge bit that went down the middle with holes in it. This could be tryable on the brewzilla etc with a blanking plug and i may look into it if I can get a bit of SS pipe drilled, perhaps copper to start with. Although SS often cheaper these days.

I think it's all to do with mash efficiency.
My weekend double batch had a pre boil efficiency of 83% and a brewhouse efficiency of 77 %. I'd like to aim a bit higher just for the challenge.
Some people are only getting 60 + % and are trying to improve that. If they set their numbers for lower efficiency they will hit the target but it's not the one they really want.
Weather okay down there today?
Ah that makes sense, thanks. Fully understand the challenge and enjoyment of tinkering.
Just checked Brewfather and the Brewzilla 35 has efficiency set at 75%. As long as the beer tastes good I'll continue doing what works for me...
And weather's been beautiful all week. Had a few days off for school holidays and planted some hops yesterday. Now to keep an eye on spring frosts...
Cheers. Thank you for the info..On the G40 the perforations up the side of the malt pipe are on the inside of where the "support legs" are, so you cannot see them from the outside.
I do not believe that the S40 has the vertical perforations.
