In this video we walk through a full Session IPA brew day, with our newest toy. We recently invested in a 35L Brewzilla to better support customers that use all in one systems, or the BIAB method. As we get brews under our belt with this amazing piece of gear we can better help customers with recipe design, ingredient choices, and technical details like grain crush & step mashing.

Awesome tutorial🍺
Great video, thanks for sharing.
I’ve been brewing with the Brewzilla/Robobrew for several years now and I have a couple tips:
Lift the malt tube extremely slowly when getting ready to sparge. This prevents suction and less compaction of the grains for a better sparge flow.
I never use rice hulls because I make flour out of my spent grains.
Also, because of the shape of the Brewzilla with a narrow surface area, you really need to boil with the lid off. This will give you an optimal evaporation rate.
And I never use the pump during the boil. It’s not really necessary and saves wear and tear on the pump.
Those are my tips for what they’re worth.
Cheers!
Why do you need a better boil off rate? why not just have a good rolling boil, and not evaporate so much of your liquid?
Thank you for the tour, it was excellent and thanks for responding to my emails. I am looking forward to ordering my first brew kit from you guys..... Looking forward to part 2 the pouring and tasting
Great video, and yes, a long time brewer says that there should be always more liquid in our mash to help circulation in all-in-one systems so I can understand your concern with your first Brewzilla brew day. Looks a success!
Superb video 👍
Amazing content, wish I could buy a unit from you guys but I'm in the States. Happy brewing!
Great video! I enjoyed your honesty and watching you brew day. Question...what do you do when have to adjust pH (i.e. adding lactic acid, baking soda)? Do you take out the recirculation screen then add the addition to adjust the pH? Thanks!
We usually make our water adjustments in the strike water that will bring our PH to the proper level, but will make smaller adjustments just before the grain goes in using lactic acid if needed.
I don't use the top screen, I think it's useless... After mashing in, let grain settle for 10 min.. Then start reserc... It should be good and won't overflow.
It's not useful all the time, but it can be useful to protect the grain bed that acts to filter your beer. Not super important when you are mashing in at first, but helps to make sure the recirculating wort is distributed evenly over the grain. It is important when the sparge begins so you don't bore holes in the grain bed. If the recirculating wort is channeling through your grain bed you can get poor extraction and clarity.
@@derekdygos9739 I use a deflector on my resirculation arm to spread the flow out and make it sprinkle down instead of just run in... Never have channels. It's a 5 dollar plastic part on the end of my hose that deflexts the Wort.
@@Schmook15 nice! We will have to look into one of those.
Cioè io guardo il tuo video per capire come abbassa la temperatura e tu non me la fai vedere?
I brewed 12 batches so far and I have trouble during mashing with draining through the mash. I have to throttle down the flow to almost nothing as it can't drain through the mash. I've tried rice hulls, adjusting the mill gap, conditioning the malt before milling, letting the mash sit for 10mins initially right after mashin and before turning on the pump so the grains have some time to absorb water and swell so mash doesn't compact, etc. When i place the top screen on it sinks about 4-6" down and the recirculating beer mostly ends up on top of it and so not much flow through the mash and down to the heater.
Did you mill your grain, if so what gap setting did you use? Or based on the 1 trial what do you think would be a good gap?
How many rice hulls, i've tried 2-4 handfulls, I don't notices any improvement, wonder how much you used?
Some tips:
Use brewzilla to heat all water initially, 30L, fill it to the max, when heated to mash-in temp drain your sparge amount into a preheated ~15L cooler, keep your recipe's mashin volume in the BZ and mashin as you did in the video. To preheat the cooler I boil 1-2L in a regular kettle and dump it into the cooler to preheat it so when i drain the sparge amount in I don't drop the temp initially and find its nice to have an extra 1L of water ready just incase of spills or mash is thick like your video, etc. After 1hr mashing the sparge water temp won't drop too much. A little lower than typically sparge 75C temp but if your concerned you can always boil another 1L and add to to the cooler, I'm guessing sparge water temp is OK if anywhere from room temp to 75C.
We do add rice as well 5-8% of our grist usually (about 250g), but maybe more if we use adjuncts or wheat. Our milling is standard for BIAB or a mash tun, but we have read of going with a less fine crush also to help with flow in BIAB systems.
At the end of the mash we heat the mash in the Brewzilla to 75C and hold for 10 mins. Our sparge water is also around 75C. This helps to make the mash less sticky and to rinse the grain better to get all the sugar out. If it gets too cold, you will be leaving sugar stuck in your grain.
I’m having problems because I’m doing 10L final. I can’t do the sparge because the mash inicial water is few and I can’t recirculate or even do anything because of the height of the false bottom . It’s 5 L below the false bottom and I’ll use 14L total water approximately… do you brew 10 L with this
