These are included in the mix! Now is a great time to add individual control to your kegs!


Multi-Pressure CO2 Options

Maintaining multiple CO2 pressures in your kegerator gives you the ability to… keep kegs at different pressures.  This is a requirement to maintain different carbonation levels. It’s also handy if you want to force carbonate a keg more quickly, at a higher pressure, while maintaining your standard serving pressure on a keg that’s already being served or if you want to have a utility line for purging kegs and such. continues below…

The general options for pulling this off are…

  • A multi-pressure primary CO2 regulator – example. This has two (or potentially more) high pressure bodies that allow you set different pressures.
  • Secondary CO2 regulators – example. These have no ability to connect to a CO2 tank directly. They must be connected to a compatible primary.

Both good options, but generally expensive.

Kegland to the rescue. Kegland has introduced economical inline secondary regulators. As of this review there are three options.

But first, more about DuoTight!

Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps.

Hands on Review Kegland Inline Regulator w/Gauge

A look at the regulator. It has a pressure gauge, adjustment knob, inlet and outlet DuoTight ports and mounting holes.A closer look at the pressure gauge. This one goes to 60 PSI. Other gauge options may be available. This is a huge improvement vs v1. v1 feature no gauge. There is an updated DuoTight compatible inline (v2) version that has no gauge. That keeps costs down but still adds DuoTight compatibility. If you choose a model without a gauge, this is another great application of a Spunding Valve.

Hands on Review: BrewZilla Gen 4 – New Dolly Option for 65L Size

Updated: September 18, 2024

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Hands on Review BrewZilla Gen4

I’ve brewed on several different all-in-one units. Like any brew system, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. I did a hands-on review of the Robobrew when it first came out in late 2016. It has since changed its name to BrewZilla and is on the 4th generation of the brew unit. As you’d expect with repeated generations, they’ve been able to focus on fixing deficiencies in their previous models and also introduce new features.


Limited Time Deal! (ends 8/1)

Brewzilla 35 Liter Gen 4 110 volt

  • For a short time William’s Brewing has the 35L Gen 4 on sale for $509.99
  • Shipping is free or reasonably priced flat rate to addresses in the contiguous US depending on your order size for most items.

BrewZilla Gen 4 Temperature Control and Programming Tips and Tricks


The basic premise of an all-in-one brewing system is that your mash and boil kettle are in the

same vessel. So just like Brew In A Bag, after mashing, you pull the grains out and the wort stays behind to be boiled. They use electricity for heat, so they can be used outdoors where you can reach power or indoors where you have a venting system that can take care of all the steam you make during your boil.

BrewZilla Without Jacket

Stamped Volume Markings

Here are some basic stats on the Gen4 BrewZilla. It’s available in a 35-Liter form (for 5-6 gallon batches) with either a 110V setup, or 220V. There is also a larger 65-Liter that is only 220V (targeted to 10-12 gallon batches). The 35L unit holds 9.25 gallons, the mash basket can hold up to 23.5 lbs. of grain, and its electric heating elements can output up to 1500W of power (110V system) or 2400W of power (220V system). The 65L unit holds 17.1 gallons, the mash basket holds 41.5 lbs. of grain, and 3500W of heating power. All the Gen4 units have a pump bolted into the base. The pump can be used not only for wort recirculation during the mash, but also to pump beer through your wort chiller apparatus (should you choose to not use the immersion chiller coil included with the BrewZilla). The pump is more modular and accessible than previous Gen models. To protect the pump from clogging with hop debris during the boil or whirlpool, there is a filter screen (a perforated stainless disc that sits at the bottom of the unit) that sits at the bottom of the kettle. The small magnetic drive pump has a pump head rating of 1.5 – 2.1 m (4.9 – 6.9 ft) and a max flow rate of 11-12 L/min (2.9 – 3.2 gal/min).

Control Panel Notification During Mash Profile

One of the key upgraded features of the Gen4 BrewZilla is the controller. RAPT Is Kegland’s line of wireless connected brewing devices. The BrewZilla now has a RAPT controller so it adds a lot of features that can be monitored and controlled over Wi-Fi. This includes basic things like monitoring temperature from your laptop/cell phone, but also allows you to program complex mash programs online and then download to your BrewZilla. You can also adjust control parameters on the fly such as pump output duty cycle and heater output level. If you get the optional Bluetooth thermometer, you can stick the temperature probe into the middle of your grain bed, and then have the controller use that as its control signal in combination with the built-in temperature sensor that sits on the floor of the unit.

Bluetooth Temp Probe in Middle of Mash

Although All-in-One units are essentially BIAB, they use a stainless steel basket with holes in the bottom of it instead of a bag, and call it a “malt pipe”. These provide functional improvements over a nylon bag. The obvious one is they are way easier to clean. But they also allow you to ensure you get full flow through your grain bed by having holes only on the bottom. This means recirculating wort has no sneak paths out the side. The other benefit is malt pipes have simple brackets/feet welded onto the outside that allow you to lift your wet grains up and prop the malt pipe on the brew rig to drain or sparge. The BrewZilla has 2 sets of feet for this. One set is halfway up, allowing you to do the deadlift of grain & wort halfway and then let the liquid level drain down. Then when you lift it the full height, it’s not as heavy. It’s simple, but makes the process much better.

Welded-on Carry Handle (top) and Tip Handle (bottom)

There is a cool feature in the BrewZilla which normally only comes on much higher end systems, and that’s the central drain. With a concave bottom with a drain at the lowest point in the center, you don’t have to leave wort behind or goof around with tilting it to get the last drops of wort out at the end. This also enables the malt pipe to extend down lower and thus you can hold more grain (30% more than their Gen3). If you compared to other All-in-one units in the “5 gallon batch” size range, the 23.5 lbs. grain capacity is 30 – 50% more. This of course only matters if you’re trying to make high gravity brews. The drain in the floor is plumbed to the inlet of the pump below, and then you can direct pump output either to an external spigot for fast/easy transfer of wort out after brewing, or up the recirculation pipe for wort to get directed down on top of the mash.

Polished Bottom with Center Drain and Built-in Temp Sensor to Side

Bottom Side of Pump Filter Plate

To help with mash efficiency and mash temperature uniformity, they offer a Heat Exchanger Dish, which is just a stainless dish/plate that sits below your malt pipe and above the central drain. Without this dish in place, the flow of recirculating wort tends to go through the center of your grain bed, and straight out the drain. With the dish there, it directs the flow around the full circumference before it gets to the drain, which helps ensure a broader portion of the grist sees the flow.

Hands on Review: Kegland Fill-O-Meter

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Kegland Fill-O-Meter

Homebrewing is full of gadgets. There are some things that are high tech versions of common equipment everyone has and uses. Then there are gadgets that are unique in what they do. They maybe aren’t a requirement for brewing, or aren’t things you’d find in every brewer’s toolbox. The Kegland Fill-O-Meter is definitely one of these. The Fill-O-Meter has two functions- turning on & off the water flow, and measuring the amount of water that goes through it. The intersection of these two functions is where it becomes a handy tool in the home brewery.

Fill-O-Meter in BoxSpecs on Side of Box

The Fill-O-Meter has ½” threaded inlet and outlet ports. They are BSP thread, not NPT, so you need to be extra careful when tightening on any NPT fittings to make sure you don’t strip out any threads or end up with leaks. The solenoid inside has a fail-safe such that if you lose power for some reason, the solenoid stays closed and prevents water from flowing. The unit comes with a 24V power supply plug to run the on/off solenoid, as well as the LCD backlit digital screen. The screen displays the current flow rate (in gallons/minute or liters/minute), your target water volume, and how much water has flowed past it since you turned it on. You can select for the display to be in units of US Gallons, or in Liters. You also have the option to display language in English or Chinese (if you’re in the mood). You can also tweak the flowmeter calibration constant to improve the accuracy for your given setup or if you’re going to measure in US gallons (adjustment needed, as explained in my hands on review section).

This is an in depth hands on look at Kegland’s 2.5 gallon ball lock keg.

Why a 2.5 Gallon Keg?

2.5 gallon kegs are great for splitting batches, small batch brewers, doing one-off beers from split from a 5 gallon batch… or for easily serving on the go.  Purge with CO2, fill from your tap and place in ice in a 5 gallon bucket…. whammo! You can also use these in conjunction with an inline secondary as a CO2 source for portable serving.

About DuoTight: Kegland’s DuoTight Fittings are designed to work with EVABarrier Double Wall Tubing.  They offer quick, reliable connections, easy implementation, a variety of fitting options and feature amazing versatility.  They’re also, generally speaking, very well priced.  DuoTights are push to connect fittings and require no tubing clamps. Check out my extensive Hands on Review

Announcing: Duotight Mini CO2 Regulator


  • Perfect for home use with compact keg setups or on the go for mobile dispensing
  • Compatible with both 16g and 74g CO2 cartridges
  • Features a 6.35mm Duotight-compatible barb for fast, hassle-free keg attachments

The Duotight Mini CO2 Regulator is a simple, affordable choice for mini kegs and Oxebar keg setups. This compact regulator is designed to work with both 16g and 74g CO2 cartridges, making it ideal for home use or when you’re on the go.

With the 6.35mm Duotight-compatible barb you can connect just about anything within a matter of seconds. Simply pair it with the 6.35mm Duotight Ball Lock QD for a quick and hassle-free connection to your kegs. Or, with the Duotight Reducer, you can adapt the regulator for use with the most common and widely used 8mm Duotight accessories.

For additional protection against liquid backflow, you can integrate a check valve along with some hosing to safeguard your regulator. Please note if liquid enters the regulator, it’s no longer functional. Be extremely careful with overfilling your kegs or tipping them over when the gas has run out.

The regulator is capped at 30 psi to ensure you do not accidentally over carbonate or exceed your keg’s pressure rating. The gauge reads up to 60 psi to account for potential heat expansion so that it does not break the gauge.

Suitable Gas Cartridges:

Upgrade KegLand DigiBoil to All In ONE w/Mash Upgrade Kit – on sale for… $59.99, save 25%

Digiboil 35 Liter Mash Upgrade Kit

This grain pipe kit lets you mash with the 35 Liter Digiboil. It includes a octagon basket holding ring that pops into place on your unit, so the assembled malt pipe can be raised and twisted for sparging.

Note that the Digiboil was designed for boiling, and does not have the more complex electronic wiring of say a Mash & Boil or Digiboil, so when the malt pipe is in place, you will need to use the 500 watt element only to prevent grain from burning onto the element.

Includes malt pipe, bottom screen for malt pipe, false bottom (that goes below the malt pipe), and malt pipe lifting handle. All items are 304 grade stainless.

This fits the Gen 1 Digiboil with a stainless lid. It does not fit the Gen 2 with a glass lid, as the wire basket holder does not fit the Gen 2 boiler.


  • When I first posted about this on 2022, the SALE price was the current list price ($79.99). I don’t have the list price documented, but it’s safe to assume it was more than the sale price.
  • As of this posting this is on sale for just $59.99. That’s a 25% discount from current list price.
  • Shipping is free or reasonably priced flat rate to addresses in the contiguous US depending on your order size for most items.

Kegland RAPT Fermentation Chamber – Save $200 when you buy 2

RAPT Fermentation Chamber

RAPT Temperature Controlled Fermentation Chamber

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Many home made products can greatly be improved with perfect temperature control. The Rapt Temperature Controlled Fermentation Chamber gives you an efficient means of setting, monitoring and controlling temperature, which is perfect for beer and wine making, salami making, leavening bread, fermenting yogurt, kombucha, germinating seeds, growing sprouts, kimchi, sauerkraut, olives, cheese, making spirit washes, mushroom growing, and more. Accurate temp control is the key to getting reliable and repeatable results.

The control panel comes complete with an integrated color TFT screen, the integrated secondary regulator that can be used to regulate gas into the chamber with our Inline Regulator with an integrated gauge or alternatively this can be switched over to the Gauge integrated BlowTie unit to regulate residual pressure in your fermenter. The 4 button color display conveniently shows a log of historic temperature graphs, allows you to start, set/stop temperature profiles and gives you access to other critical information for that particular fermentation.

The top of the unit also has room to install an optional item C16 Spunding Valve and or item C11 Mini Regulator, so you can ferment under pressure and not cut any holes in the unit for hoses. See Kee’s video below for more on this.

This multi purpose chamber can also be used as a kegerator. In particularly cold climates where the ambient temp is below zero, this chamber can warm your kegs and prevent them from freezing. This chamber also has a higher keg storage capacity than a conventional kegerator that takes up the same footprint. This unit can hold four 5 gallon Ball lock kegs on the floor and has enough headroom that you can also fit another layer of four 2½ gallon ball lock size kegs above this. A provision for keg faucets is not included, so you would have to drill holes in the door if you decided to use this as a tall kegerator.

What is RAPT?

RAPT is a dedicated Internet of Things (IOT) Hub for fermentation logging and control. It’s a free service whereby any RAPT enabled product can both log and store data to the hub where you can conveniently access this data. The RAPT hub can also allow you to control your devices remotely giving you control of the device regardless of where you are.

For more information on the portal, and how to create a free account, click HERE.

The RAPT portal enables you to make complex temperature profiles that involve different temperature settings over time. This means you can start/run a temperature profile that is fully automated, and you can also use the app to monitor and or change a temperature setting remotely. It even interfaces with the RAPT Pill floating hydrometer to give you real time specific gravity readings remotely. Note that the KegLand RAPT Pill hydrometer is currently not available in the USA, but can be ordered for USA delivery through AliExpress.

The RAPT Chamber is not compatible with the Barron Tilt Bluetooth Hydrometer, although you can of course still use a Tilt with this, it will just not interface with the RAPT portal.

Specifications:

  • Integrated Heating: 50watt Heating Power
  • Cooling Capacity: 300watt Cooling Power
  • Max Power Consumption: 225 Watts
  • Refrigerant: r600a
  • Connectivity: Wifi (802.11) and Bluetooth
  • Temperature accuracy: +/- 0.1C
  • Temp Resolution: 0.1C
  • Integrated Screen: 2.8inch (diagonal) Color LCD
  • Interior Temperature Range: 29°F to 100°F

Why buy this over a glycol chiller?

Typically in the past, some customers have needed to resort to glycol chillers to chill fermenters but this represents several issues:

1. Glycol chillers often require a very cold liquid to enter into a fermenter causing an excessively cold part in the fermenter core.

2. Glycol chillers consume significant amounts of power and in most instances more than double what the RAPT chamber would consume.

3. Glycol chillers often result in spilling sticky glycol especially when hoses are connected and disconnected to the fermenter.

4. Glycol chillers generally require penetrations through the walls/lid of the fermenter making the fermenter less sanitary and requiring more cleaning.

5. Many glycol chillers and fermenter combinations do not have sufficient power or are not well enough insulated to cool to sub-zero temperatures. So crash chilling is not possible. This is a significant compromise to a temperature-controlled solution and also results in less ability to clarify the finished beer.

Ends Today: Save on Recently Released NukaTap Mini Faucets!

The Nukatap Mini is the first small beer faucet with big faucet features, like forward sealing, an optional self closing spring, laminar flow to minimize foaming, and a removable stainless spout. It also has new innovations like integrated over molded Santoprene® seals, which will last the life of the faucet without replacement. The faucet body is molded from POK plastic which can withstand autoclave temperatures, and the over molded seals can withstand the harshest cleaning chemicals. Over molded seals get rid of O rings, eliminating the places behind O rings where crud and bacteria can hide.The Nukatap Mini is the first small beer faucet with big faucet features, like forward sealing, an optional self closing spring, laminar flow to minimize foaming, and a removable stainless spout.

The faucet body is molded from POK plastic which can withstand autoclave temperatures, and the over molded seals can withstand the harshest cleaning chemicals. Over molded seals get rid of O rings, eliminating the places behind O rings where crud and bacteria can hide.

Due to it being made of POK plastic with a POK molded shuttle, the first pour from a Nukatap Mini will have less foam than from a conventional metal faucet due to the fact that cold beer cools down POK plastic faster than it does metal. The POK plastic also insulates better than brass or stainless, a helpful feature between pours.

The Mini debuts a new shank system which eliminates the need to drill a 7/8” hole in your cooler or refrigerator door. The new Nukatap Mini Shanks (available for 8mm and 6.5mm Evabarrier tubing) use EvaBarrier tubing to draw the beer right to the tap, and are secured with three screws to the outside, preventing the shank from rotating, a common problem with metal shanks and coolers.


Some retailers have struggled to keep Nukatap Mini in stock. They’ve been out of stock for months at a time. As of this update nearly all options and accessories are in stock at William’s Brewing

Hands on Review: Kegland Cannular Bench Top Can Seamer + An OUTSTANDING Deal!

Updated: October 24, 2024

This review is by Homebrew Finds Contributor Brad Probert.  Brad is an engineer, expert homebrewer and experienced reviewer.  Grab a link to Brad’s website at the end of this review.

Kegland Cannular Can Seamer

It’s been a long road for craft beer to be accepted in cans and not bottles. But it has been well established that cans are OK, too, and some take it even further to tout cans as a superior storage vessel for beer. I’ll avoid a full-blown comparison of the pros & cons of each, but I do feel it worth noting a couple of the selling points cans have. One is the claim that cans provide better storage with a more oxygen-proof seal than bottle caps, and 100% light blocking versus even brown colored glass. There is probably lots of debate on those two topics, but one benefit that is universally recognized is transportability. Cans are lighter and more compact, a whole lot less fragile, and you can take them to beaches and pools where glass containers are banned.

On the homebrew scale, until recently, the canners available have either been hand-crank monstrosities that look like an exhibit from a museum on the industrial revolution, or electrically driven units that look like steampunk movie props and cost a couple thousand dollars. Then in 2019, KegLand from Australia started exporting their Cannular can seamer that sells for $525 for the unit + power supply and is electrically powered. This changed the landscape significantly in the homebrew world, making canning much more within reach.


Rare, Limited Time Deal:

Cannular Bench Top Can Seamer CAN100

  • MoreBeer has Cannular on sale for $399.99. That’s a $150 savings.
  • For some pricing clarity, I’ve seen USED units sell for more than this.
  • This is a rare deal because the regular version of the Cannular is under a MAP agreement.  That means that it, generally speaking, cannot be discounted.  I don’t know if this is a one-off thing or if the reverse roller version will be an ongoing offering.
  • Get Free Shipping: Shipping is also free to most US addresses with a qualifying $59 order.  This includes bulky cases of new cans.

Empty CanLid on Foam

The Cannular operates with a combination of manual lever pulling and electric motor spinning. You start the process out with an empty aluminum can with no top on it. You sanitize the can, fill it with beer, and then take a sanitized lid and set it down on top of the can (ideally on foam, to ensure minimization of air in your canned product). From there, it gets placed on a small pedestal and a lever turn raises the can up into the machinery of the can seaming operation and locks it at that height. The push of a button gets the motor spinning and the can on its platform starts spinning around. Grabbing a different lever, you push back and hold it for a couple seconds, then pull it toward you for a couple seconds, and you’re done. Turn off the motor, lower your can back down on the pedestal, and you’ve canned one beer.
