Description

Elevate your brewing game with the Gen 4 BrewZilla. This cutting-edge system combines innovative features like wireless connectivity via WiFi & Bluetooth, allowing you to control and monitor your brew day, ensuring precision, convenience, and exceptional beer batch after batch!
 
  • WiFi / Bluetooth enabled RAPT Controller tracks your brewday and automatically uploads detailed information to the RAPT portal
  • The top mounted RAPT Controller can be tilted upward for easy viewing, or detached from the unit to mount it on the wall or placed on your bench
  • Mirror polished dome shaped bottom with center drain — get every last bit of wort into your fermenter while the perforated bottom screen filters out 95% of hot break and hop matter
  • Make larger batches or higher gravity beers! BrewZilla offers the largest malt pipe capacity for units in its size range, and the Gen 4 unit has a 30% larger malt pipe compared to the previous generation
  • Middle position feet allow you to lift out the malt pipe in two stages. Lift that heavy malt pipe to the middle position first, allow it to drain, then completely lift out the malt pipe for sparging
  • Perforated bottom on the newly designed malt pipe allows for improved mash recirculation flow without sacrificing efficiency
  • Element power percentage can be adjusted via the RAPT Controller. Go full power to heat up quickly, or dial it down so you don’t overshoot your strike water temp
  • The built-in pump is plumbed to both the recirculation and arm and the bottom ball valve. Recirculate wort during your mash, then close the recirculation valve and pump wort to your fermenter via the bottom valve
  • Pair with the RAPT-enabled Bluetooth Thermometer, allowing your BrewZilla to calculate a core mash temperature reading and more accurately control temperatures and mash steps
  • More RAPT-enabled accessories are coming, and future firmware updates can be downloaded to the RAPT Controller itself over the internet

WiFi/Bluetooth Enabled RAPT Controller
The RAPT Controller is mounted to the top of the boiler body, allowing for easy operation when you have the unit set on the ground. The controller can be tilted upwards to give you an even better view, or it can be removed from the BrewZilla entirely if you’d prefer to mount the controller on your wall or lay it down on a workbench. From the controller, you’ll orchestrate your entire brew day. Program mash steps, dial in element power, and operate the integrated pump all from one screen.

But the RAPT Controller is much more than a beautiful, full-color display switch board. Once synced to the RAPT Portal, you’ll be able to track, record and monitor your brews online. No need for handwriting notes or punching brew day details into your phone – all of the data from your brew is automatically logged to your portal profile. This information doesn’t just include your mash profile; it also captures detailed information about your element power and pump activity, opening the door for very precise repeatability.

And the RAPT Portal isn’t just a digital archive for your brew days. With your BrewZilla powered on, you can control your brewery from virtually anywhere using your phone’s web browser. Not sure when you’ll be home from work or your kid’s ball game going into extra innings? No problem! Before you head out, simply log into the RAPT Portal from your phone and tell the BrewZilla to start heating your strike water. Along with remote control, the portal enables you to program alarms and push notifications for all of your boil additions. We’ve all been caught up with a side task and failed to throw in that yeast nutrient or clarifying agent at the end of the boil, but the BrewZilla has the back of even the most forgetful brewer!

But wait, there’s more! In addition to WiFi connectivity, the RAPT Controller is also a Bluetooth gateway device. KegLand is currently developing various Bluetooth devices such as the Bluetooth Beacon Thermometer and other sensors which will be compatible with your brewery upon release. The RAPT Controller is able to receive information from Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices, adjusting its processes based on this new stream of information while simultaneously logging it to your RAPT Portal. With the Bluetooth Beacon Thermometer, for example, you’ll be able to feed temperature readings from the top of your mash bed to the controller. The controller will then compare this reading with the main temp probe reading at the base of the kettle and adjust element cycling based on these combined readings.

Finally, the RAPT Controller WiFi connectivity allows you to update the controller’s firmware with a single click. Take advantage of new features and accessories as soon as they become available by simply keeping your BrewZilla connected to your local WiFi network. And again, the WiFi is already built-in! No need to come back for an expensive add-on accessory down the road.

High Capacity Malt Pipe
With an approximately 23.5 lb capacity, the BrewZilla can mash nearly 50% more grain than similar sized models of the Anvil Foundry and Grainfather G30. If you want to fill your fermenter with more than a 5-gallon batch worth of wort, or brew the highest gravity beer recipes, the BrewZilla is the brewhouse for the job. And the included malt pipe is just the beginning. If you want to expand your brewery’s grain capacity even further, KegLand makes Boiler Extension Kits and Extended Malt Pipes for that very purpose.

Other features that we love on the BrewZilla malt pipe include the middle row of feet and perforated bottom. By adding a second row of feet to the malt pipe, you can remove it from the boiler in two stages. That first lift on the malt pipe when it’s full can be a heavy task, but with the middle row of feet you can do an initial lift, wait for the wort to drain, then lift it all the way out to completely drain the malt pipe and begin sparging. The malt pipe features a perforated section at the bottom which improves mash recirculation flow without sacrificing efficiency.

Concave Base with Center Draining
Leave no wort behind! The concave base with center drain means you’ll be able to extract every last drop of wort to your fermenter. If you’ve brewed in a traditional flat bottom kettle, this center drain may be a bit perplexing at first. Many brewers are used to whirlpooling after the boil to pull hop matter into the center of the kettle, then transfer out using a pick-up tube that pulls from the kettle wall in order to avoid sucking up the solids. But fear not! One of the key features of the BrewZilla is the false bottom protection screen. This screen avoids the need for doing a whirlpool, filtering wort as it transfers and blocking more than 95% of hops and hot break from getting sucked into the pump. This not only prevents blocked pump issues, it also increases the efficiency of your brewhouse by eliminating kettle loss from wort that may have otherwise been left behind.

Ultra Low Watt Density Elements
The concave base on the BrewZilla also allowed for larger heating elements with significantly lower watt density than other breweries. When a lot of energy is coming off of a small element, the local temperature near the element can be so high that it scorches the wort and causes caramelization. Lower watt density essentially means you can produce lighter color beers that would otherwise have fallen victim to caramelization effect. It also reduces that chance of boilovers and reduces stress on the elements which extends their life expectancy.

Easy Access Built-In Pump
The built-in pump allows you to recirculate your wort during the mash for improved efficiency and more even temperature distribution. But it can also be used to transfer your wort from kettle to fermenter rather than relying on a gravity feed, and with the optional CIP Rotar, you can used the pump to clean your BrewZilla (or fermenter) after every use. During your brew day you’ll be able to control the pump from the RAPT Controller with a dedicated button for turning the pump on and off. Another feature you’ll find on the controller is adjusting the pump flow. This doesn’t control the actual volume of the flow (you can do that from the ball valve located on the recirculation arm), but rather cycles the pump on and off automatically based on your setting. At 100%, the pump remains on continuously. But at 80%, the pump will cycle to be on 80% of the time and off 20% of the time. This may not be a feature that every brewer thinks they need, but it’s an excellent way to avoid running the pump dry accidentally, as the time the pump is off allows recirculating wort to filter through the grain bed and back into the pump inlet.

If you flip over the boiler, you’ll find the magnetic drive pump and all the plumbing is right at your fingertips. This means you don’t have to disassemble the base in order to access the pump for cleaning or maintenance if required. It also means the plumbing can be changed more easily too. For instance, the unit comes as standard with the plumbing from the pump feeding both the recirculation arm and the transfer valve, but you change this so the tap outlet bypasses the pump if you prefer.

MoreBeer!'s Final Word
We’ve been selling all-in-one brewing systems ever since they first hit the market, and we have to say that the Gen 4 BrewZilla is not only the most feature-packed unit ever made, it’s also offered at an incredibly competitive price point when compared to other systems. You’ll get all of the cutting edge Bluetooth technology you’d get with the Grainfather and at an exceptionally lower price tag. Plus, you get the WiFi capabilities as standard, rather than as a $100 add-on accessory. When it comes to mash recirculation, that’s yet another built-in feature on the BrewZilla, and the pump can also be used for transferring and CIP cleaning. The Foundry has a great starting price, but if you want to unlock its full potential, you’ll need to spend another $100 for the recirculation pump kit. What’s more, no other system in the same ‘weight class’ has the same grain capacity. And if the standard capacity isn’t quite enough, the BrewZilla can be easily upgraded with a Boiler Body Extension Kit and Extended Malt Pipe. When you purchase the BrewZilla, you can feel confident that you’re investing in a top shelf system and all of the critical features you’re expecting will be included.

How do you calibrate the temperature sensor?
Adam S on Feb 15, 2024
What are the power requirement for this, I see the boiler says the following info:
110-120V power and plug
Removable power cord (110v only)
12.5A Requires 20A circuit
Requires 11 amps from 30 amp circuit

but no mention of the frequency so need to know if it will do both 50-60Hz or just one? I am looking to use this in both UK and USA and need to know what the power requirements are for this product. I can use a step up/transformer for the V just cant change the frequency from the power supplier.

The pump specifies both 50/60Hz but nothing on the other parts here.

Not used yet - instructions are poorly organized at best.
Nothing in box so had to download 42 pages of instructions. Read three times and still many parts of assembly were left unclear. Feels like they were written for someone who already knew how to assemble.

Rapt/Wi-Fi is took forever and some lucky guesses to figure out. I got it sorted only to find need to reset already?

Why include the assembly instructions spread all over the place in the user manual? Sections on assembly and use should be seperate.

Look forward to brewing on it and figuring it out. Frustrating experience thus far. If you are an engineer you'll probably be fine.

Game changer
I wanted to give this 5 stars but I'm dropping it to 4 only because the temp sensor went haywire on my second batch. First batch was flawless and cut 2 hours+ off over my BIAB times even with fumbling around with new equipment and process. The second batch I set up nearly the same as the first but different strike temp. I'm glad I double-checked the water temp before I tossed in my grains as the reading said 160°f but my calibrated digital was showing 170°. Pulled out another calibrated thermometer and it was showing 170° as well. Then the guessing game began.. dropped 10° but it ended up 20°, raised it 5° and it went back to 10° and it was back and forth for the whole hour mash raising and lowering the temp manually to keep it at mash temp. Same thing happened at mashout only it was showing hotter and the temp was 10+° lower (in the bottom). Boiling temp was spot on at 112° though so I took note. After transfer and cleaning I filled with ice water and discovered that the low point calibration was 10°f colder than the actual water temp. Made the adjustment and it changed within 2 minutes. Recalibrated and it seemed to take and hold this time.. We shall see.
Overall it's a very nice unit and I highly recommend it. If I had the Gen 3 to start, I probably wouldn't upgrade to this one until that one died, but if it's your first unit then I say buy this one!

Huge convenience!
I’ve only brewed with it once so far but I’m very happy. The controls are straight forward. I’m pretty sure I shaved more than an hour off the brew day. It’s also easy to clean. The best part for me, as a nyc apartment dweller, is the space savings. I got rid of my mash tun and boil kettle. Also, I won’t be ruining my new stove with boil overs.

Great with some flaws but nothing you can't work around or fix.
Some initial leaking issues with the bottom spigot that required a trip to the hardware tool for plumbing tape, and some minor spillage from the arm connection point as there is no way to drain the arm when removing connection. But all that aside its a great system and if you are on the fence you have my worthless vote of approval from a internet brewer.

Very covenient, all in one package. VERY INCONVENIENT minimal or no instructions on use of the temp controller. Those that show on the screen are at best vague, and non-intuitive. I wasted six days trying to register the temp controller instead of Brewzilla. Once registered, there were no instructions(that I could find) on how to set-up and use the RAPT website. I am not an idiot but do follow instructions well, when available.

works great until it nearly burnt down my house
first two brews went great. during cooling of the second brew the screen turned white and the heater kicked on. after a 10 resets the screen came back on. i ran some cleaner through the pump with the heating element off only to come back 20 minutes later to it being off and the smell of burnt rubber. upon reseting the unit it would immediately pop a breaker. Reached out to morebeer and they sent me a replacement within 3 days.

First brew day went very well
This is my first all-in-one brew system and man oh man was that easy compared to how I’ve been doing it. Everything just works the way it says in the instructions with very little human adjustment needed. I opted to include the whirlpool arm, did not disappoint.
