Thanks guys, just needed a bit off reassurance. Gonna go ahead with the gen 4. I realize there's still a fair way to go with the software side of things, but i think that when the bugs get ironed out it'll be awesome.

Hi Guys, I'm on the cusp of buying a gen 4 Brewzilla. Has the unit grown on you at all? Would love to hear how its going. I've read mixed reviews. The local homebrew shop here sells them, but has tried to talk me into the Grainfather G30 instead. I'm still leaning towards the Gen 4 but needing...

Hi, Hopefully this is the right place to post this.. if not let me know and I will delete and re post in appropriate section. Does anyone have first hand experience with the pros and cons of using a bag vs a malt pipe in an electric recirculating 1V setup? I've built a budget 1V electric...

Hey Fabio, did you sort this?

Yea that's been in the back of my mind too.. I've got a 30L stainless pot handy but don't really want to cut off the handles and demo the bottom of it if I can help it!! The grain basket/ malt pipe/ bag is something I can experiment with down the track. Right now my main concern is there is too...

Just an update in regard to the mosquito net beer. It turned out great, good clarity and tasty as!!

Hey fellas I'm currently building a 1V recirculating system from an old 50l keg and basing the design off a QldKev thread on the aussie homebrew forum from 2012. Yesterday I installed the element as low as I could to allow me to still tighten the nut (weldless). The keg has a dish in the...

also, in relation to the "Soapy" taste of the first kit I did, It was in the fermentor for two weeks so I don't think that was the cause.. Maybe my taste buds pick up things differently and it just wasn't readyy?.. It's been in the bottle for a while now and the taste has been improving a lot.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Im not that active on the computer so hence the delay! I've tried the SMaSH and it is good!! Yesterday I brewed a panhead supercharger apa clone and was thinking something is definitely different about this batch.. Laying in bed later I thought, damn, that bag...

Thanks for all he advice guys. Good to know it doesn’t look like I’ve stuffed up too bad yet. Cascades brewer, yea I scaled it up myself. The recipe was for 9l and I wanted around 14.4l so multiplied everything by 1.5. RM, yea I think that is probably right about the grain. Over the next few...

Hi guys. Yesterday I brewed my first all grain batch. It was bit of a learning experience and I will definitely be more organised next time. A few questions... I followed a Motueka hop SMaSH recipe to keep things simple and used BIAB method. I was aiming for 14.5l in the fermentor. Pre boil I...
