We review the specifications, equipment, add-ons, pros and cons, and our brewing system's total cost. Hope you enjoy it!

Top work. Thanks for doing this video. We really appreciate it!

@BitterRealityBrewing 3 years ago

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.

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.

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.

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

@markpearson2085 4 years ago

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

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 !

@Liamman26 3 years ago (edited)

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

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 ?
