    Brewzilla Gen4 Discussion/Tips Talk

    Thank you for correcting me. I'm not familiar with the 35L model but I think they have more than one element. They may even switch an element from parallel to series in order to get the proper current draw for the voltage change.. some one with both models 120V and 240V should take a look...

    Brewzilla Gen4 Discussion/Tips Talk

    I believe the circuit board is the same for the 110...or 240V model. You would just install a different cord. The resistance in the elements would stay the same.....your Amps would decrease going to 240V.....P=VxI Can anyone on this Forum verify that there is an equipment difference between...

    Brewzilla Gen4 Discussion/Tips Talk

    I took a 3.1 board out of my 65L brewzilla and installed a Gen 4 board. I had to disconnect everything anyway. The Gen 4 board does no fit the old circuit board holder. It's too big. I had to make a water tight enclosure from a rubber maid container. You can't use the gen 4 circuit board...

    Brewzilla Gen4 Discussion/Tips Talk

    Thanks, I figured out all the wiring. I have my 3.1.1 65L model fully converted over to the RAPT4. The RAPT4 screen plugs into my unit with an RJ45 standard Ethernet cable. I like having the rocker switches on the 3.1 for the elements it is an easy way to tell which elements the controller...

    Brewzilla Gen4 Discussion/Tips Talk

    When I hook by gen 4 board up I will be bench testing it without any elements hooked up. After I get power to the board successfully I will get the controller hooked up. After the controller is hooked up I can get it connected to internet and configure and then I'll start hooking up the...

    Brewzilla Gen4 Discussion/Tips Talk

    I'm looking for somebody with a 65L Gen 4 to show me where the wires that feed the unit are hooked to which terminals on the main circuit board. Is there anybody that can help me? Thanks,, A close up picture might work....Need to know L1, L2, and ground. Where they are connected.

    Craft beer pi 4

    I was able to successfully install the code with the above thanks, When I run this code it doesn't recognize it! cbpi add cbpi4-DependentActor do I have to be in a certain directory when I run it? That line of code wouldn't work for me on any of the plug ins I installed. Thanks again for...

    Craft beer pi 4

    There isn't any installation information for the DependentActor. Would the following code work to install it? sudo pip3 install cbpi4-DependentActor

    Craft beer pi 4

    Thanks, That's exactly what I did. Do you know if kettles can share elements? I'd like to use two elements for the warm up and then switch to only one element to maintain temp. I created two kettles and had one kettle with the grouped actors and then had the other kettle with one...

    Craft beer pi 4

    Hi guys. I have modified my brewzilla 65l to use craft beer pi 4 as the controller. The brewzilla uses two relays. One to pull in the large element and the other to pull in the other two elements. Does anyone know if craft beer pie PID can be set up to turn two GPIO pins on at the same time...

    Storing Plate Chiller

    Hi guys, I was curious if after I have my plate chiller cleaned and sanitized if I could just disconnect it while it is still hot and connect my lines into each other so it's a closed sanitized loop? Has anybody tried this? I'v read where guys try and get all the water out after each use if...

    Standard-layout fridge: can I take out the floor of the freezer?

    I just cut the floor out of my fridge. I removed all the thermostat controls and defrost timer. I'm hooking the compressor and fan up direct and will be controlling it with brewpi. The wiring for the light circuit I'm using for two din rail mounted heaters which will also run the fan to move...

    Robobrew in US

    I bought a 65L Brewzilla from AU. The board had a checkmark on 240V. I wired it 120 using neutral and it worked fine but I was only able to use the two smaller elements. I then wired it 240V 60Hz using no neutral it is working fine. I switched the cord to an US style 240V 15A cord. I would...

    Robobrew in US

    I currently purchased an AU RoboBrew 65L. The circuit board is marked 240V AC. The 35L boards are marked 120V AC. I read on there web site that the 240V version 65L can be wired 120V using the neutral wire in US and Canada. The only problem is all the elements can't be used at the same time...
