Boiling
Boiling is one of the final steps of making beer in the BrewZilla. Simply set the
heating power
to 100% and
set the target temperature
to over 100C which will result in the elements
remaining on continuously. If you set the controller to 100C you may find that the elements
turn off for a brief period once this temperature is hit. Ideally you want the elements to run at
full power during the entirety of the boil.
Once you have reached a boil make your hop additions and boil as long as required as per
your recipe. A normal boil length is 60 minutes however this can vary between beer styles.
Boil Temperature Reading
At sea level water will boil at 100°C. If a temperature of above 100°C is displayed on the
controller while the wort is boiling then you will need to
calibrate your temperature probe
.
If a temperature below 100°C is displayed on the controller while the wort is boiling and you
are at sea level then you will need to
calibrate your temperature probe
.
Water at a temperature less than 100°C at altitudes above sea level. So, if your wort is boiling
below 100°C and you are at a high altitude then correlate the displayed temperature with the
boiling point of water at your elevation to determine if calibration is required.
Cooling
We would advise a high throughput chiller for cooling your wort down to pitching temps after
the boiling step such as the
½ BSPT Coolossus Stainless Steel Counter Flow Chiller
Tri-Clover Coolossus Stainless Steel Counter Flow Chiler
Hot Cubing
Another great method of cooling your wort that saves time is hot cubing. If you fill a HDPE
Cube or HDPE Bladder with hot wort then quickly fit the lid, this will keep your wort in a
sanitary environment. If you use this method, make sure to purge air out of the cube /
bladder and then simply leave it at ambient temperature for 24 hours to cool down
(preferably out of direct sunlight).
