Cheers guys, love your work, we have been long time customers of yours, you guys have some cracker equipment

Well done. The other big item to note with the Brewzilla is the low-density burners which reduce the chance of scorching, which is a major item compared to many of the competitors.

@flyingwombattv Жыл бұрын

That’s a very very good point actually! We have run some super thick mashed and have never scorched

I love that Kegland listened and made so many improvements to the Gen4, down to making it eady to upgrade the pump. I REALLY hope that they are working on an insulating jacket section for the boil extender ring! Im extending the boiler and malt pipe on my 35L to make barley wines, etc easier.

Yeah dude! I rlly wanna get a gen 4 they look absolutely awesome! My thoughts on the insulator too, but honestly till they make one we could just get some neoprene rubber from a hardware store and wrap it around the extension

Great vid I’ve got the earlier 35 litre model , hope the quality has improved since then as the false bottom on mine comes lose and makes the fermentor lean to one side when filled with water. But I’ve done a lot of brew on it and the pump and heating hasn’t failed

@flyingwombattv Жыл бұрын

Cheers mate. Yeah you should check out the new heavy duty false bottoms from kegland. They are way stronger and more durable

Just added a g40 to the brewery a couple month ago but still keeping the brewzilla for sparging and small batch’s

Just a note on the counter flow chiller, the counter flow part is what makes it efficient so ideally you want hot wort in one side and cold water in the other so they flow in opposite (counter) directions. Do you guys ever muck around with no chill brewing? I have been leaning right into that lately and sticking the beer into the big 20(something) Litre bags from kegland, cool it over night then pitch the next day... I don't usually make really hoppy beers though so not sure if this would work without shortening the time the hops are in the hot wort.

@flyingwombattv Жыл бұрын

Yeah we learnt the counterflow process the hard way hahaha first time we used it we lined up the flows the same way and had terrible efficiency hahaha. As far as the no chill brewing… not really, don’t have anything against it but we just have a lot of stainless steel that’s so easy for us to cook our wort, so we just do. But yeah for hoppy beers you do need to adjust your hop dosages and timings for no chill brewing or your bitterness will go through the roof with the extended heat

Awesome, Thanks for that I'm real keen on a 65L system. Can you still do smaller brews in it?

@flyingwombattv Жыл бұрын

Yeah absolutely! Honestly even for smaller batches it’s better than the 35L version because the grain tube is wider so makes it easier to mix and mash in grains

@petersmith6213 10 ай бұрын

Nice video! When using the 65L on the 10amp does it take a lot longer to come to boil? Can you use all of the 3 heating elements at the same time ? Im currently using the 35l and looking to upgrade to 65l as I want make more and brew less often (not out of choice. It would be great to get your input !

@flyingwombattv 10 ай бұрын

Yeah it does take longer using the 65 on the 10 amp, (same time as using the same volume as you would use on a 35, but you normally fill it more) but it is worth the trade for extra volume. But we have now upgraded our electrics to run it on a 15 amp outlet and it’s so much faster!

@@flyingwombattv thanks for the response! I'm gonna do it! I may even go for the Gen 4 65l. Congratulations on the amp upgrade! Very envious of your brew den. Keep up the fine work!! Cheers

can you Run the 220V 35L on 20 Amps? I just got the 3.1.1 220V 35L and it appears to have a 30Amp plug on it

@flyingwombattv 10 ай бұрын

Whaaaat are you sure it has a 30amp plug? The 35L should have a 10amp

@@flyingwombattv yeah, I'm in the US - Kegland said to check with my local retailer. I'll post an update when I have a solution, in case anyone else runs into this issue

Is the Brewzilla setup say 100l, 65l and 35l combined good enough for delivery of beer to a small bar. Or do you feel this isn't good enough for professional delivery ?

@flyingwombattv 26 күн бұрын

Probably not for a pro brewery, you also need to account for losses from dry hopping, trub dumps, dead space etc. so for a small bar it would probably need to be at least a few hundred litres brewed at a time

@HistoryNiche 26 күн бұрын

@flyingwombattv what equipment would you recommend for that ? If you had 2 100l Brewzillas it could work ?
