Just having it as an option would be nice, if somebody would light one

Nice addition, and I would prefer to see it as a standard feature. That aside having pre-cut tubs that are the correct length with the sticker applied already is something I would kick in a bit more to have.

Would have loved to have had this on my Gen 4. Difficult to see the liquid level in the kettle when the malt pipe is in or even when it's in the raised position.

I've also thought about building a scale under the Brewzilla to measure the liquid.

I must be missing something as I don't understand the purpose. When mashing in you can directly look at the graduations to see the volume and pre-boil or during the boil your volume is up around 100L so the sight glass being only up to 80L would be pointless.

Great simple product!!! Is this available for the boil extension recirculation arm as well?

Now that we have the tool to extrude this diameter it's relatively simple to make the extender too. We will look into the viability of this now.

Yer would have loved to have this as standard, it was fine until I put the jacket but with the jacket on and the malt pipe in there is no way to tell volume

Yup! This should be standard! Heck, I wish you had posted this 2 weeks ago as I just purchased 3 of the old versions just so I wouldn't be brewerless next time I broke one. I've had two of the old ones crack on my now. I also have the older version 65L Brewzilla where the cam lock spins...

Based on the feedback it seems like most customers would like this to be standard.

If you want to extend the malt pipe and the base cylinder, can you use a longer section of the sight glass? The issue would then be securing the cam lock on the top end. Will the boiler extensions be upgraded to cater for this?

@KegLand

5 ай бұрын

you can also secure the longer PPSU sight glass using the saddle that we also used to use. At the moment the saddle is not listed as a spare part but if you contact our customer service team they can supply this.

Any reason this doesn’t come as standard!? I’ve got a 65L and now just purchased a 100L biggest complaint is not being able to see how many liters after sparge. Realise you have to make money but feel like from gen3 to gen4 you corrected a lot of things but dropped the ball right here….

We will be releasing a new Gen 4.1 model soon and if we get a good response to this video then we will probably make it standard in the 4.1 BrewZilla release. Up until now the PPSU tube did not exist which is the only reason why we have not done this in the past. It's a great plastic but it's not very common so all tooling to extrude needs to be done custom for us.

Love the constant mods, but I'll pass on this one. I like the stainless steel and the only time i need to read the volume is when the mash basket is out and the markings on the inside are visible. How about a LoDO mash cap next?

Yes I think we will do this and release a new Gen 4.1 model with this as standard.

Just bought a new gen 4 65L. First time firing it up to test it and clean it, was a failure. The valve when throttled, leaks all over the place due to the ball packing nut/sight glass interface not having proper sealant and o-ring installed. If you remove this packing nut/sight glass interface nut with a hex key and look at this part, it has an oring groove cut into the body and lines up with the smooth bore where it screws into the valve body. This problem needs addressed. I’m sure it’s not your fault. Probably your manufacturer of the valve. Valve was completely taken apart and cleaned up. Oring installed into valve. That problem fixed. The cam lock gasket is not thick enough for a good seal. Any back pressure from cleaning heads on the recirculating arm causes a leak. Bottom sight glass fitting should have a valve on it, incase the tube gets broken or fails during a boil. Just like any proper sight glass has for serviceability. You guys are headed for a wreck. I hope customer support is better than what I received on the kegerator I bought from you guys.

If you have any issues at all with our products, contact customer service. These defintiely don't leak when installed properly - should be two o-rings at each end
