  • Brewzilla 110v w/Pump 35L All Grain Brewing System Gen 4.0 w/FREE Rapt Pill

    Brewzilla 110v w/Pump 35L All Grain Brewing System Gen 4.0 w/FREE Rapt Pill

    SAVE $169.99...FREE RAPT PILL WITH EACH GEN 4.O PURCHASE.  The New Brewzilla All Grain Brewing System V4.0 is everything V3.1.1 is with a few more upgrades.  It runs on a 110v plug that has 2 built in heating elements for a combined 1500 watts (one element at 1,000 watts, the other 500 watts) each on a separate switch to give you the option of boiling or maintaining temperatures.  Also included is a built in magnetic drive recirculation pump, stainless steel malt pipe and false bottom, wort chiller, removable grain basket, built in spigot and water resistant digital control panel shows the current temperature, lets you set a desired temperature as well as program up to 23 hours of delayed starting.

    INCLUDES: • V4 Certified to be used in Canada • 35L capacity  • Stainless steel construction, ½” ball valve and basket • Digital temperature controller reads in °F or °C • 110v power and plug • Dual heating elements for total control (1000 watts and 500 watts) • Immersion wort chiller included (hosing/clamps/adaptor not included) • Stamped in volume markers • Glass lid • Magnetic drive pump for recirculation (hosing/clamps/adaptor not included) • Recirculation arm

    Complete Concave Draining Base
    The new base design completely drains out meaning you capture every single bit of wort. No longer do you need to tilt the brewery to extract every last bit of wort. 

    False Bottom Pump Protection Screen
    One of the key features of all the BrewZilla single vessel units is the false bottom protection screen. This screen avoids the need for doing a whirlpool and it filters wort and prevents more than 95% of hops and hot break getting sucked into the pump and thus greatly reduces the blocked pump issues that are often an issue with other brewery designs.

    Ultra Low Watt Density
    The BrewZilla has significantly lower watt density than other breweries.  The main benefit of lower watt densities are that it enables you to produce lighter colours of beers that would otherwise get some caramelization.  The ultra low watt density also means you have less chance of boil overs, you get less crud sticking to the element making cleaning easier and ultimately reduces wear and tear on the element meaning even with significant abuse your elements will last way longer.

    RAPT/Wifi Connected
    The new Gen 4 model is the first BrewZilla that connects to the RAPT Portal (
    https://app.rapt.io/).  This portal allows you to track, record and monitor your brews online.  This greatly reduces the need for handwritten records of your brew day as it's all done automatically.  The RAPT portal also allows you to see every brew you have done in the past and control the brewery remotely so you can start pre-heating water remotely or simply keep an eye on the brewing process while you do something else.  Get push notifications to your mobile phone of when to add hops or start the boil.  
    Along with this ease of access and control. The RAPT BrewZilla will also allow you to fully customise your brew day with profiles specifically tuned to your style of brewing or your recipe.
    For example you could set up your profile to receive certain alarms or messages when you are required to do something. E.g. Adding grain when the strike temperature is reached. Mash-Out Alarm when you're ready to sparge, Salt / Hop additions when you've reached the boil. As well as hop stand additions or chilling instructions. All of this at the touch of a button that is preprogrammed to what you want to do. No more egg timers, no more phone timers. Everything controlled by the one area.


    Bluetooth Gateway Device
    KegLand is currently developing various bluetooth devices such as bluetooth low energy (BLE) thermometers and other sensors which will be compatible with this brewery.  This brewery is able to receive the BLE beacons and relay this information onto the RAPT portal.  Also by receiving multiple BLE thermometer sensors the Brewery is able to make smarter and more automated decisions on how to control the brewing or distillation process.  For example a BLE thermometer can be placed into your coolant water so you get an alarm if the temperature is too high, a BLE thermometer can be put into the middle of the malt pipe so you can more accurately control elements switching on/off to achieve a core malt pipe temperature etc.

    Improved Base Design with Easy Access Pump
    The new base design means we have sealed all the electronics on the underside of the brewery into a separate junction box. This has allowed us to omit the bottom cover.  This significant design change means that the pump can be accessed much more easily.  It also means the plumbing can be changed more easily too. For instance you can re-arrange the plumping to the pump to pump into the tap outlet or change this so the tap outlet bypasses the pump.  These changes make it more flexible but also much easier to take apart the pump for cleaning and maintenance if required.

    RAPT Controller with Full Colour Screen
    The new RAPT controller has an easy to read full colour screen. The controller can also be disconnected easily making wash down easier.  The controller is mounted in a higher position with a tilting frame so you can angle the screen toward you depending on how tall you are.  The new controller module is packed with features and KegLand is consistently updating firmware to include more features.  Firmware updates are quick and painless and with a single click you can upgrade all Gen 4 units to the latest firmware to take advantage of new features and accessories. Forget getting on your knees mid-brew, do it all while standing or sitting next to your BrewZilla.
    The controller can also activate the pump. Meaning there are no toggle switches anywhere on the BrewZilla Gen 4.

    IEC Cable for Easy Storage
    The new design has a removable IEC cable so you can unplug the cable making it more neat for storage.

    Improved Lid Handles
    The new lid handles are better designed and made from stainless so they are more robust and more ergonomic to hold especially with wet hands.

    Two Stage Oversized Malt Pipe
    This new malt pipe design is 30% larger meaning you can mash more grains and either make more beer or make higher gravity beers.  the new malt pipe also has a two stage height adjustment so you hand half lift the malt pipe and set on the supporting halo ring halfway up.  This makes it more ergonomical so you can lift the heavy malt pipe up in two stages but has the second advantage that it makes the brewery more suitable for smaller batches too where raising the malt pipe half way up is preferable.

    Tip: Use Rice Hullls to prevent the pump from clogging and bursting the silicone elbow.

    • Please note: This model does not require a silicon seal at the top of the mash pipe.  Do not run the pump dry for extended periods. This can damage the pump. Fully read instructions prior to using. 1 year limited warranty   NOT ELIGIBLE FOR DEFALCO POINTS PROGRAM
