GEN 4 Brewzilla Brewing Software Profiles 35L & 65L

[@pieter-janvanooij3155]

Thank you Dave, as always a useful video. My Brewzille 35L gen 4 arrived yesterday. Did a cleaning session and now waiting for the moment a first brew from this Brewzilla is born.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Great to hear Peter. Enjoy 🍻🍻

[@RichieMcBride]

Thank you Dave. As always, your help is amazing. I also just assembled my Gen 4 yesterday and will run a cleaning cycle and use your profile but adjust to 24 litres in the fermenter as I like fill to a 5 litre mini keg then put the rest in a Corny - doesn’t matter if it’s short. Really looking forward to getting it brewing. I’m always checking your views, reading the books, and really enjoying the all grain brewing.👍

Great to hear 🍻🍻🍻 After that I suggest setting this up kzbin.info/www/bejne/haqvdmRmi7pnY6ssi=KyO7hFLkLuvkZaD-

[@KegLand]

Thanks for doing that David. I am sure a lot of customers will find that handy.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Yes, I think so too 🍻🍻🍻

[@Steve_Wardley_G6JEF]

Wow ! ! Not sure I grasped any of that... All your video's are great David but as a newbie to all in one systems and brewing software I have to admit defeat on this one. There seems to be so much that is subjective and reliant on knowing your system, when really, as a newbie, you don't know it, if that makes sense. Love your content and the Facebook group so no doubt it will click in the end.

Hey Steve, You can set up your software profile while watching 🍻🍻🍻

[@alanman5328]

Great information, thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to seeing the 65L in action especially.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Cheers Alan. Yes, the 65 is my favourite for sure.

[@8873kym]

Very much looking forward to the Gen4 65 litre Brewzilla here in Australia. Thank you for the video.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Cheers. It will be worth the wait, I will be sharing my brew experiences with the GEN 4 65L. The first is coming in 2 days 🍻🍻🍻

[@8873kym]

@@DavidHeathHomebrew look forward to it. Cheers

In any all-in-one systems, mash-tun deadspace is really difficult to calculate without first taking into consideration the amount of deadspace around the circumference of the malt pipe. Using a static number like 2.5 liters will get you somewhat close, but if you're targeting a specific water/grain ratio, this 2.5 will fluctuate as you subtract/add more grain (i.e. the more grain you add, the more deadspace you will have).

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thanks Steve. I guess that it is fair to say that no one profile will work for everyone and there are variations depending on various factors.

[@christopherlane486]

Will the rapt system ever have access to a recipes and profiles library or user provided? I know this and the interface is one of the big draws for Grainfather.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

That is the plan, yes.

[@frodesy]

Hi Dave. I see the boil-off rate is set to 4.5 l / hour in the 35 liters version. I guess this is without the steam condenser or am I wrong? I haven't tested it much, but I've used 2 l / h with the steam condenser.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hey, yes this is the standard set up.

[@feronimus7723]

Great job as always! Thank you for the information. Would there be any Brewzilla 35L Gen 4 vs G40 - S40 at some point?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Thank you. I will be making various comparisons but first I will share some varied brew experiences. The first is coming in 2 days 🍻🍻🍻

[@walkintheseshoes]

Thanks for the vid but what is you goto mash/sparge for BIG grain bills?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

I tend to run the same and then tweak if needed. Its small differences usually 🍻🍻🍻

[@A2an]

Nice video :) Thanks for the Info 👍

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Cheers Allan 🍻🍻🍻

I see that the profile for Gen 4 has been added to Brewfather, but it has grain absorption of 1.0 and a water/grain ratio of 3.2 - but in your profile you use the values 0.8 / 2.7 respectively (which is default for GF I believe). What numbers did you have most succes with?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Hi Espen, I have only tried the profiles as shared but find them to be very accurate.

[@billabongviews]

Hi David, you mentioned the Mash-Tun dead space on the Gen 4 is reduced from the Gen 3 Mash-Tun dead space of 3.5l. In my Gen 3.1.1 Brewzilla it takes 6.75l to reach the bottom of the Malt Pipe - were models over there different to Australia, or an I incorrect in believing the dead space is the total water required to reach the bottom of the Malt Pipe??

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

You are right on what the dead space is. I am unsure of differences though.

[@scottn1au]

So the Mash tun dead space is only 3.5 L ? Is that to the underside of the maltpipe or the false bottom? I'd like to know how many litres untill my grain is in water.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

It is actually way less than this but these numbers are used to dial in the profile. The grainbasket is very low down.

[@scottn1au]

@@DavidHeathHomebrew thanks David.

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Cheers 🍻🍻🍻

[@mrnijacatzz]

Is this 35L litre boil off settings for a 220V or 110V?

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

220v .

[@markosolaris550]

Hi David if I wont to put two 24 l exstensions in profile I just change kettle parameters? Thank You

[@DavidHeathHomebrew]

Sorry, I do not understand what you are asking?

[@markosolaris550]

@@DavidHeathHomebrew in the meantime I figured out what I was doing wrong...thank You anyway
