Yes! Kegland Brewzilla Gen4 35l 220v. Awesome device, cheap too

Rapt.io web app to control the brewzilla

Brewfather web app for recipes and brewday timer etc

I just have a fridge connected to a inkbird and a cheap plastic fermenter, looking to upgrade eventualy

Laptop is a dell xps15 running windows, will run Linux as soon as i get a second SSD and upgrade it

Cool! I'm still brewing out of a bucket, but I've got my hops planted so I'm going to have to upscale very soon.

Thta all in one system is the best thing ive ever got. Its awesome. the brewzilla gen4 is the first one ive ever had, for the price its badass. There are other much more expensive brands, but from the reviews they arent much better than the brewzilla.

Yeah i stopped bottling as well... kegging was the best thing i ever did. Ive always wanted to grow hops, sadly im in Arizona, US.... not a good place to grow hops.

Friend of mine ADORES the iSpindel for fermentation monitoring & control - but an Inbird does good work 👍

Nice! I actually have a tilt 2 hydrometer and a tilt bridge, but I have not implemented it into the temp control yet. AFIAK I can do it with a raspberry pi and a control board of some sort
