    Brewzilla dead - burnt out socket

    Thanks - I got it from you :D. I also got the replacement unit from you, the pump from which is on its way back to you because its failed (we spoke about it a couple of weeks ago). To be honest I'm totally sick of the old one and just want rid. Its continued presence here reminds me of the...

    Brewzilla dead - burnt out socket

    I've now got it all put together and switched it on. As soon as its booted up it bleeps, tells me "Vessel has boiled dry" and, in red above where the target temperature is it says "sensor too hot". The only reference to this I could find is in this thread where Kegland advise waiting for it to...

    Im all a quiver with excitement - BZ gen 4 delivered

    Wow! Thanks. It's difficult to see how, if he had a 50% shareholding, that could legally be done behind his back (because, without his shares, it's impossible to get 50% + 1). Will you be providing updates here?

    Brewzilla gen 4 malt pipe bottom plate - which way up?

    The bottom plate for the Brewzilla gen 4 malt pipe is stepped. Which way up should it go, with the middle being the highest or the lowest? I'm asking out of academic interest - I've used it both ways and not noticed any difference but they must've designed it that way for a reason

    Brewzilla dead - burnt out socket

    Thanks for the detailed reply, which is exactly the sort of thing I was wanting. There is indeed a little slack in the cable and I had come to the same conclusion that you have - cut the cable either side of the hole and rejoin. Fortunately though someone has offered to do it for me, and given...

    No, and I wouldn't have a clue how to use it if I did

    Brewzilla dead - burnt out socket

    Thanks for all the replies but I've since discovered that the din socket will need soldering, which is something I can't do. My latest thinking is to cut the cable either side of the hole then reconnect it somehow. What do you suggest? Is it even possible to do this - in a normal situation you'd...

    Brewzilla dead - burnt out socket

    The sensor arrived a few days earlier than expected but on taking things apart to try and work out how to fit it I noticed this It seems the cause of the problem is my putting a screw through the wiring when I put the cover back on after replacing the power socket. I suspect that a replacement...

    Sourcing CO2 suppliers - West Coast of Scotland

    That's less than half the £34 I pay Hobbybrew! Time to start shopping around I think

    WHC dry yeast

    Thanks. Its finally looking more like I was expecting. The only differences with an ale fermentation being a much thinner head and no obvious signs of movement in the wort (I have a clear fermenter). I've just take the gravity and its 1039 down from 1050 on Saturday so its heading in the right...

    WHC dry yeast

    I don't suppose you've used the Apres Ski yet have you? I pitched some in a pils on Saturday and the appearance of the wort in the fermenter is more than a little different to the ale yeasts that I'm used to.
