Hands on Review: Third Party Dolly for Brewzilla 65L

Thanks to HBF Reader Kevin for this write up!  Let’s be friends!  8 Ways to Connect with HBF

Hands on Review Netfish Trash Can Dolly

In the last year I was gifted the ability to upgrade to Brewzilla 65L 220v brewing system and I was excited to shift to a simpler brewing system. When I built out a corner of the basement for my brewery I installed a hood to vent moisture out. Recognizing the weight of the malt pipe if I brew a 10 gallon batch I installed a Unistrut with a pulley on a rail dolly to raise up the pipe/grains and move them over the sink so I can dump them after the last few drips fall in the sink.

With this plan I then needed to move the Brewzilla from under the hood to out under the Unistrut/pulley. Kegland dealers have a specific dolly for the Brewzilla but they are either $79.99 or $99.99 so I began searching for an alternative. (William’s BrewingMoreBeer)

When I found the Netfish Dolly I decided I would order it and see if it would work. I was pleasantly surprised to find how well built it is and how easily I can move the Brewzilla even up over mats I have on the floor. The dolly is adjustable and the feet for the Brewzilla are inside a lip that makes sure the Brewzilla doesn’t fall off.


From HBF: Using caution when moving kettles especially when full. We do not recommend moving hot liquid or equipment.

Hands on Review: ProFlow Dynamics Stainless Steel Camlock Quick Disconnects + 30%+10% Off!

proflowdynamics homebrew camlock review

Updated: September 21, 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.

Proflow Dynamics Camlock Fittings

If I were to count all the “things” I have the most of in my homebrew collection, it would be a close race between tubing and fittings. Like the freeway system of the brewing world, we all have to get the wort/beer from one vessel to the next as we move through the brewing process. When dealing with hot liquids, that typically means silicone tubing. And when connecting tubing to your vessel or pump, there are 3 most common ways to do this: 1) Barbed fitting, 2) Quick Disconnect fitting, and 3) Camlock fitting.

Camlock QDs at ProFlow Dynamics – affiliate link, note that multiple variations of this product may be available, as such a different version may appear at this link


Proflow Dynamics has been around since 2007. They specialize in camlock fittings, but also make a variety of other fittings and ball valves. They service a mix of different industries- including the brewing industry, of course. Barbed fittings are the simplest, but are typically designed to be a very tight fit (require a lot of effort to mate), or a looser fit (require a hose clamp). Either of these situations does not lend itself well to a joint you need to connect/disconnect frequently. Quick disconnects have a slick one-handed operation, which is their main appeal. The downside is their more complicated design makes them more expensive. And more complicated designs usually mean more ways to potentially fail.

Short On Time? Time Saving Homebrew Tips! + Flash SALE on MoreBeer’s Flash Kits!

time saving homebrew tips

Time can be a big factor when it comes to homebrewing.  Sure, it may be nice to spend sunrise until sunset carefully hand crafting a batch (or batches) of beer, but the practicalities of life can and do factor in when we’re deciding if we can brew a batch of beer.  For your stage of life, time may not be a factor.  If so, that’s awesome.  For others, time saving tips and techniques could help you brew more often.

With those thoughts in mind, I put the call out to the HBF community [8 Ways to Connect with HBF] to get some time saving tips and tricks.  A selection  of those along with some of my own thoughts follows.  Thanks to all who participated!  A full list of contributors is at the end of this post.


Limited Time Deal, Flash Sale on Flash Kits!

morebeer.com flash brewing

From MoreBeer:

Introducing MoreBeer!’s Flash Brewing Kits! Designed for both novice and seasoned homebrewers, these innovative recipe kits allow you to simply mix the ingredients with water and add yeast for fermentation. This streamlined process not only saves you valuable time but also simplifies brewing without sacrificing flavor. Say hello to a faster, easier way to craft exceptional beer at home.

Typically, brewing requires you to boil your malt and hops for one hour, followed by another hour for cooling. Flash Brewing eliminates the need to boil. Our Flash Brewing Malt recipes have been boiled and whirlpooled before they are dried. We then use a HopBite™ shot for bitterness combined with a mix of traditional hop pellets and extracts for flavor. Flash Yeast™ starts quickly and consistently produces clean beer that lets the malt and hops shine. The result is a high-quality beer that will absolutely surprise you.

Short On Time? 40 Time Saving Homebrew Tips!

time saving homebrew tips

Time can be a big factor when it comes to homebrewing.  Sure, it may be nice to spend sunrise until sunset carefully hand crafting a batch (or batches) of beer, but the practicalities of life can and do factor in when we’re deciding if we can brew a batch of beer.  For your stage of life, time may not be a factor.  If so, that’s awesome.  For others, time saving tips and techniques could help you brew more often.

With those thoughts in mind, I put the call out to the HBF community [8 Ways to Connect with HBF] to get some time saving tips and tricks.  A selection  of those along with some of my own thoughts follows.  Thanks to all who participated!  A full list of contributors is at the end of this post.

12 x Stainless Steel Sauce Cups by Winco

I keep similar stainless steel portion cups in my Brew Day Box and use them to portion out hop additions and other boil additions and for pH and gravity sample containers.  These are a great size and don’t take a lot of room since they nest together.

Limited Time Deal, Flash Sale on Flash Kits!

From MoreBeer:

Introducing MoreBeer!’s Flash Brewing Kits! Designed for both novice and seasoned homebrewers, these innovative recipe kits allow you to simply mix the ingredients with water and add yeast for fermentation. This streamlined process not only saves you valuable time but also simplifies brewing without sacrificing flavor. Say hello to a faster, easier way to craft exceptional beer at home.

Typically, brewing requires you to boil your malt and hops for one hour, followed by another hour for cooling. Flash Brewing eliminates the need to boil. Our Flash Brewing Malt recipes have been boiled and whirlpooled before they are dried. We then use a HopBite™ shot for bitterness combined with a mix of traditional hop pellets and extracts for flavor. Flash Yeast™ starts quickly and consistently produces clean beer that lets the malt and hops shine. The result is a high-quality beer that will absolutely surprise you.
