Temperature Probe Calibration
If you find that your temperature probe is not reading the correct temperature for example if
is reading over 100°C when boiling at sea level then a 2-point calibration can be performed.
To calibrate the built in temperature probe enter the
Settings
menu and
select Calibrate
Point 1.
Then fill your boiler with ice water and measure the temperature of the water using a
calibration thermometer. Wait for the ADC reading to stabilise as much as possible and input
the measured temperature of Calibration point 1 by using the up or down arrows. Then press
Select
to set the temperature and ADC reading of Calibration point 1.
Next, select
Calibration Point 2
. Empty the boiler and fill with hot or boiling water. Wait for
the ADC reading to stabilise as much as possible and input the measured temperature of
Calibration point 2 by using the up or down arrows. Then press
Select
to set the temperature
and ADC reading of Calibration point 2.
Your brewery should then be calibrated.
To reset back to default values please refer to the
Please note if you are above sea level you may find that water reaches a boil before 100°C and
if this occurs calibration may not be required. Refer to the boiling point of water at your
elevation.
PID Temperature Control
The Gen 4.0 BrewZilla includes a setting to enable PID Temperature Control. The default
settings for the PID coefficients are shown in the Default Settings table. These coefficients
should work well to maintain the mash and boil temperature of a batch with fermenter
volume of 85L.
If you brewing a different fermenter volume such as a small batch or a very high gravity beer
with a large weight of grain you may need to tune these PID coefficients to according to your
specific batch specifications.
