Enable/Disable Graph 

By default, the BrewZilla Gen 4.0 controller will display a graph of temperature vs time. If 

you prefer instead for a numerical old school interface than this can be easily changed by 

unselecting the 

Show graph

 checkbox in the 

Settings

Manually Adjusting Target Temperature 

Press the 

Return 

button until the Target Temperature is highlighted then use the up or 

down arrows to change the target temperature. The BrewZilla will only begin heating once 

the device has been energised by pressing the play button. 

Warning: Do not press play to 

energise the device if there is no liquid in the vessel.

 

Manually Turning the Pump On/Off 

Press the pump button to turn the pump on/off. The Pump text will be coloured light blue 

when the pump is set to ON and coloured grey when set to OFF. The pump will only begin 

running once the device has been energised by pressing the play button. 

Warning: Do not 

press play to energise the device if there is no liquid in the vessel, this will result in the 

pump running dry which can damage the pump 

Adjusting the Pump Duty Cycle (Percentage) 

For greater repeatability of your mash schedule, you can control the pump output by 

adjusting the duty cycle of the pump rather than using the ball valve on the recirculation 

arm to adjust the output of the recirculating wort. 

 To adjust the duty cycle of the pump, press the 

Return 

button until the pump percentage is 

highlighted then use the up or down arrows to change the pump percentage. If the pump 

percentage is reduced then the pump will cycle on/off to reduce the output. 

Alternatively, you can hold the pump button while pressing the up or down arrows to adjust 

the duty cycle.
