Cheers! Great video Matt! I do use that same whirlpool arm, but direct the wort along the edge of the kettle to get a circular motion. I don’t know if you were trying to force the wort thru the hop bag in this instance.
*facepalm* Yeah that would work much better. :) First time using it (other than just throwing it on there to help with chilling) and didn't even think about positioning it properly to get an actual whirlpool going. I appreciate the tip!
To fine of a crush, the water can't get around and help with better extraction unless you are using rice hulls. I run my setup with a .045 crush get 72% efficiency.
Thanks! I assume that's just with the malt pipe or do you use a bag as well? I did 0.04" on my first BrewZilla batch just using the malt pipe and got 62% efficiency, but could be that the setting indicator wasn't correct at that point either. Now that I have it as tight as it'll go I'll have to mess with getting the knobs to reflect the actual setting. I appreciate you watching and the feedback, and thanks for the tip on the mash temp control settings, worked great for this batch!
Another enjoyable video. I also picked up a few tips. I’ve been putting my malt bag in first then the malt basket. Like your way better. Is that a 220 volt Brewzilla because my boil is nowhere near that vigorous with my 110v. Whirlpool hop fountain was a nice add in 😂
@@Cheezer1966 Thanks! Glad you found it helpful. Yep, this is a 220V 65L, picked it up when they had a rare sale on them even though it's twice as big as I'd typically need, but I definitely like having the 3500W. Glad you liked the hop fountain. :) Thanks for watching!

Definitely one of my favorite beers
Yea I’ll have to order that one up for my next brew. I’ve ordered a few from them recently because my local HBS closed.

@@irondalebrewing just use the malt pipe and did sparge. After mashing in, waited 15min then did 45min of recirculation.
