KL29353
This is an upgradeable accessory to the 35L BrewZilla Generation 4 only.

KL29353 - 35L 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.

"Watched many a YouTube video and everyone recommended this. First time use and no scorched grain on the bottom. Although I know no different, I would highly reccomend this. Its a very cost effective upgrade! Easy to install. My only concern is you may have to take it off after every brew to see how clean it is."
"Should come standard as it makes hitting temps so much easier."
"happy with this, bought to distribute the wort and help with temp control and seems perfect"
"Helps stablise mash temp"
"Does exactly as described, better heat distribution."
"Fantastic upgrade for the Brewzilla"
"Easy to put together and great value"
"nice addition to perfecting the temp control. should be standard"
"Works"
"The decision to get one of these with my Gen 4 was a no brainer. It stands to reason to maintain a more constant mash the time the wort is in contact with the element is so important. Cmon Kegland include it with the Gen 4 as standard."
