35L BrewZilla Gen 4 - Heat Exchanger Dish (HED)
KL29353
€15,90
This is an upgradeable accessory to the 35L BrewZilla Generation 4 only.
Heat Exchanger Dishes are also available for Gen 4 BrewZilla's in other sizes:
KL29353 - 35L BrewZilla Gen 4 Heat Exchanger Dish (HED)
KL29360 - 65L BrewZilla Gen 4 Heat Exchanger Dish (HED)
KL29377 - 100L BrewZilla Gen 4 Heat Exchanger Dish (HED)
It has been pressed into a slight concave shape to match the curvature of the boiler false bottom of the 35L BrewZilla Gen 4. It also includes a longer Eye Bolt assembly with a wing nut.
The order of bolt to washer to nuts goes as follows. Eye bolt, washer, false bottom, washer, nut, HED then wing nut. This is so that the eye bolt does not come completely removed when and if you clean underneath the Heat Exchanger Dish.
What does it do?
Due to the concave bottom and central draining hole, the wort being recirculated through the pump will pass through the malt pipe and then down through the boiler false bottom. The wort would normally then follow the path of least resistance, making a b-line for that drainage hole.
What this Heat Exchanger Dish does is force that recirculating wort up to the edge of the BrewZilla base and pass over the elements for a longer period, this then aids in faster heating exchange with the wort, which can help you on a brew day reach those temperatures much quicker.
Please see our video below for more information.
We would also recommend using the RAPT Bluetooth Thermometer to control your mash temperatures from a temperature reading of the core of your malt pipe.

This is also not limited just for your BrewZilla Gen 4. We will be bringing out other RAPT enabled devices like the PPSU Modular Sight Glass Stills and Meat Smokers.

Really helps stabalise the mash temperature and avoid clogged pump
"I'm new to homebrewing and have been using this since getting my Brewzilla about 4 months ago. Last weekend I decided to try without it. The mash temperature was much harder to control and after the boil I managed to get the pump clogged with debris. I wont be trying that again. This is well worth the upgrade and I think should come as standard with the Brewzilla."
Quick mod to help improve heat exchange
"Followed instructions to add this to the false bottom with no issues. Helps improve heat exchange from the heater element when recirculating wort with the pump. Also came with a spare stainless eye which I added to the top mesh on the malt pipe. This makes it easier to pull out from the hot wort during sparge if it becomes too slow or stuck."
