Sparging with the BrewZilla | BrewZilla Tips and Tricks | MoreBeer!

1:51 now that is a CRACKER of an idea!!! I've had a spider, and brewzilla for a few years and never even thought of doing this. Cheers!!!

[@MoreBeer_]

Awesome! Cheers 🍻

[@danielreiss3443]

Thanks for posting these videos; as a beginner/sleeper I end up watching them MoreThan once!

[@TheGhostfaceKLR]

Even simpler is to sparge with room-temp water. Like just about everything in homebrewing, there are differing opinions on whether it makes any real difference. Great idea with the hop basket.

[@JIMMBAY1]

Awesome, Gr8 video & content...

[@jeffpaleczny]

Worked great!

[@MoreBeer_]

Awesome to hear!

[@CreateNewHandleHere]

How I cant believe I never thought about this... such an easy thing to do..

[@MoreBeer_]

It's pretty epic!

[@borisdog8]

A handy trick for checking how much wort you have is to attach a piece of tubing to the drain and route it past the markings and up through one of the handles to hold it up high, then open the valve and the tube will fill with wort to the level inside.

[@MoreBeer_]

Great idea! This is an awesome tip.

[@al4yt]

Thanks for the video. Does the splashing not cause oxidation? Or is the wert hot enough already to prevent that?

[@cmcmmcmc]

Pre-boil so shouldn't matter.

[@levieuxstbo]

With model your sparge heater water ?

[@LekanMakanju]

Just wondering what the typical/standard boil temp should be?

[@MoreBeer_]

212 Fahrenheit! Controller needs to be properly calibrated to reflect that temperature. Boil temperature will change at higher altitudes.

[@seanrandall9639]

Do you recommend using both of the mesh strainers in the malt pipe that come with the brewzilla kit?

[@MoreBeer_]

It's a good idea to use both to prevent too much particulate getting through and potentially clogging the pump during use.

[@TonyHines83]

I'm not getting my target gravity that way. what can you do to extract a little more sugar from the grain? I normally wind up using the pump to recirculate back through the malt pipe for ten to twenty minutes.

[@joeygsta]

Just add a bit of dex mate

[@TonyHines83]

@@joeygsta Thanks, yep, that's what I do but I almost feel like I am cheating. I think maybe the grains need to be milled a little smaller than what I am receiving...

[@jeffpaleczny]

Hard to believe that 45 to 60 minute sparge routine is not required. This process will streamline brew day.

[@MoreBeer_]

It really does, especially if you've got hot water ready to go!

Looks easier than my RIMS.
