- While building an environmentally sustainable brewery, ill-intentions. has commissioned a 300L brewhouse from Kegland. In this video I show how it has been set up, provide some advice on using it and give my opinion on the build quality and general ease of use.

Thanks for this video. We really appreciate the publicity and you taking the time to talk about the BrewZilla 300L. Look forward to coming in for some beers!
Good products means good beers. Come and enjoy any time.
Eli - when is the next video? Would love to see a brew day. And would love to see your CIP process. Cheers !
I’m still working on a video for my glycol setup but this has been delayed since I recently changed the size of the chiller. Will get that out once it is up and running. As for a brew day and the CIP, maybe one day.
Great vid, looking forward to some more
Great video , just ordered a similar setup, good luck
Beautiful setup. A power washer is an essential part of my brewhouse as well, and my largest system is only half barrel. I have a couple of power washers, but the little Karcher electric is my go to so the winter months I can still clean indoors. Again, you have a stellar setup. Cheers.
Cleaning is always the tough bit at the end of the day and the fun is all done. Anything to make it easier is the way to go.
Sexy bit of kit. I was considering one as a pilot rig. Regarding your blocked filter issues, some things that have helped me is, a more vigorous whirlpool (mash paddle), longer time of whirlpool settling, bag your hops in BIAB bags, if you can add another filter in-line.
Thanks for the advice. In theory the racking arm should make it easy so I probably just need to work on my technique. I will see if I can get my whirlpool speed up a bit through the pump and then give it a good settling period. I also have a good few hop bags around so could go down that path but prefer the greater contact when the hops are loose.
Very informative - thanks so much!
Thanks for watching. There will be some more content covering the fermenters and glycol chiller setup in the coming weeks.
At our brewpub we dont have a pickup port in the kettle, so we have a pipe. Every time we brew we dump the first bit of wort before it hits the fine filter as to not block it
Great video, I'm running the baby sized brewzilla but I am actually also using my pool to chill the wort haha
Great to hear that. The best thing we can do as small brewers is to use all our resources as responsibly and intelligently as possible. The only waste we haven’t managed to eliminate is the ingredient packaging. Would love to know if people have a solution for those.
@@ill-intentions. That would be an interesting problem to solve for sure
Very informative overview of this brewhouse. Thanks for the efforts put into this. I am looking at this unit also and would love to chat more to you directly if you would be open to this? Located in Western Victoria.
Thanks for the chat the other day. Always good to talk to other brewers on the same scale.
The one and only kit anyone has ever made a video of.....
Great to see some reviews/usage on the bigger kit, few things I would change if it was me but its more around reducing oxygen ie LODO, im also not a huge Rims fan
Any chance of a review/walk through on your unitanks? been looking at the 100-150 (Working Volume) ones but as they are built to order can't have a look before committing
Hey thanks for watching. The RIMS has its use is some brews but I generally have it there in case I miss my strike temp.
Low dissolved oxygen should only be a concern once your fermentation is under way and not something you look at in the brewhouse. I haven’t attached an oxygen tank yet but there is the facility to inject oxygen in line after the plate chiller.
I am currently working on a video for the unitanks and will cover how I purge kegs and do closed transfers using waste CO2 from the fermentation.
