The 220V Gen 4.1 BrewZilla is a powerhouse all-in-one electric brewery designed for serious homebrewers who want speed, precision, automation, and big brewing capacity. With a redesigned heating system, larger malt pipe, improved recirculation, and full WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity through the RAPT platform, this system delivers professional-level performance right in your garage or brew space.
Why Brewers Love the Gen 4.1 BrewZilla
-
Faster heating & smarter control thanks to dual low-watt-density elements and the intelligent RAPT Controller.
-
Remote control from anywhere — start heating strike water, change mash steps, or monitor progress from your phone.
-
Huge grain capacity with a 30% larger malt pipe, perfect for high-gravity beers or double batches.
-
Superior wort collection with a concave center-drain base and a perforated filter that removes 95% of hop and hot break material.
-
Completely integrated pump system for mash recirculation, kettle whirlpooling, wort transfer, and even CIP cleaning.
-
Future-proof firmware with automatic updates through WiFi.
The RAPT Controller: Total Brew Day Automation
The RAPT digital controller is the heart of the BrewZilla. It sits at the top of the unit for easy viewing, tilts upward for better visibility, and can also be removed and mounted on a wall or bench. With the RAPT platform you can:
- Program multi-step mash profiles
- Adjust heating element power to avoid temperature overshoot
- Control the pump and recirculation cycles
- Receive online logging of every brew session
- Set push notifications for boil additions and timing alerts
- Start the system remotely through your phone or browser
RAPT also acts as a Bluetooth gateway, allowing integration with upcoming sensors such as the Bluetooth Beacon Thermometer for top-of-mash temperature readings and precision mash bed control.
High-Capacity Malt Pipe
The redesigned malt pipe holds up to 23.5 lbs of grain—nearly 50% more than comparable all-in-one systems. Perforated bottom sections dramatically improve mash recirculation while maintaining excellent efficiency. For even larger grain bills, extension kits and expanded malt pipes are available.
Concave Bottom & Center Drain
The polished dome-shaped bottom drains directly from the center, allowing you to collect virtually every drop of wort. A false-bottom filter prevents hop debris and hot break from entering the pump, eliminating whirlpool loss and keeping your system running clean and smooth.
Low-Watt-Density Heating Elements
- Reduces scorching and caramelization
- Promotes lighter-color beer
- Helps prevent boilovers
- Extends element life
Easy-Access Magnetic Drive Pump
The built-in pump handles recirculation, whirlpooling, wort transfer, and cleaning. Pump flow cycling can be controlled from the RAPT Controller to avoid running the pump dry and to maintain ideal mash bed flow. All plumbing and pump components are accessible from the underside of the unit for effortless cleaning and maintenance.
Perfect for Distillation
Add a distillation lid and compatible copper condenser to turn the BrewZilla into an excellent electric pot still for crafting homemade spirits. Ideal for beginners and hobby distillers alike.

Important Notes
- Due to U.S. patent restrictions, this model includes a single-stage malt pipe design.
- Always lift the malt pipe slowly to prevent wort from spraying over the rim.
- Lid clamps must not be used with the standard glass lid.
- If using an extension cord, ensure proper gauge for your distance and amperage requirements.
