Description

This sight glass fits both the 35L and 65L units. Installs in place of the stainless recirculation tube, allowing you to check your fill level at a glance, or monitor wort clarity during mash recirculation.

Intended for use with BrewZilla model 3.1.1 or earlier. Not compatible with the Gen 4 BrewZilla. Support brackets on older models may be too small for the 0.59" OD polycarbonate tube.

Includes:

  • Stainless 1/2" Male BSP threaded post with o-rings
  • Stainless 1/2" Female BSP threaded post with o-rings
  • 360 mm long polycarbonate tube (13 mm ID x 15 mm OD)

Please note: you may need to use varying amounts of plumber's tape to get it to seal in the right position once it has been tightened back down on the female bottom end.

Warning: if using PBW, it is recommended to not have an extended contact time at temperatures above 120°F or exceeding the recommended dilution ratio.

Bracket Design Flaw Invites Breakage
This glass was doomed from the start because of the placement of the top bracket on the BrewZilla 65l Gen 3 that I own. The slightest bump of the top of the recirc arm will cause it to break. This could be mitigated with a replacement bracket for the top that used more metal to extend upward to hold in line with the metal of the glass so that the stress is not placed on the glass itself. I have photos of this issue that I would be happy to share with Morebeer to illustrate.

Helpful but (relatively) fragile
Of course it's more fragile than stainless steel, but the ability to see the liquid level (as well as liquid flow during pumping) is a huge improvement to the Brewzilla. Just handle the tube once installed gently. Mine broke once about 3/4" from the top end, but the break was clean and I just reinstalled the top fitting for the win. Bought two extras since they were at a reduced price.

Save your money
I would not recommend… the first use the top of the clear plastic pipe broke due to a badly crimped clamp. What a mess but I managed empty the wort and get the original stainless steel one back on. Save your money and frustration and stick with the original. The sore glass is plastic and I’m my opinion very cheap considering the rest of the unit seems to be made well.

Piece of junk
Mine cracked in the middle of brewing. That ended up making a bit of a mess. It lasted for a couple of sessions before it broke. I would save my money until the manufacturer figures a better way.

pointless and broke on first use
Firstly the design is poor. Instead of matching the standard metal pipe. they used a press fitting, the clamp cannot be fully screwed down, and it snapped at the press fitting on first use. secondly, the design is pointless since neither the Brewzilla nor the tube have graduations to indicate volume level

Cheaply made
Does not fit. I have to unsrew the top valve and bracket to get it installed and then re screw the bracket in place. There were cracks in the polycarbonate where the threaded ends are inserted. Cracked enough to leak significantly and require a silicon hose sleeve be clamped on to stop the leak.

Great idea but not so great design.You can make it work well though!
I was excited to replace the SS piece with the clear poly site glass. It was an easy task install. I added water into the kettle to check for leaks and there were none. Upon installing the spare arm to the cam lock,I noticed the cam lock was tight and difficult to lock in the sparge arm. While fighting to lock it in,I broke the poly glass tube cleanly where the tube is attached to the kettle with a clamp. It seems that the tube is vulnerable to breaking in this area since there ic nothing to brace the tube where it fits into the cam lock piece. I was able make a brace with a piece of tin sheet and replaced with a new poly tube. It's been working very well. I like it a lot.

Sight glass :(
Do not recommend this product, after 4th brew it cracked at the top. Weight and pressure from pump arm it to great. Will have to go back to original stainless tube.

Sight Glass makes determining quantities much easier
When you have the mash pipe elevated on the kettle it is impossible to see the water level in the kettle. Using the sight glass makes it possible to determine the water level. I only gave it four stars as it does not come with pre-marked gallon levels. I added after install with a Sharpie.

Super fragile and prone to breaking/leaking
I figured for the low price I'd give this a shot. The first one cracked during water calibration and before I could even brew with it. To MoreBeer's credit, they replaced it quickly, but the second one only made it 4 brews in before cracking as well.

Both instances the crack happened at the support bracket, showing that ANY kind of pressure, torque, or even bumping the assembly could crack this tube resulting in leaks while the pump is running. For the second one, I even jury-rigged a more "soft/flexible" bracket to prevent hard pressure where the sight glass meets the unit's metal bracket. This resulted in the recirculation arm being somewhat "squishy" and unstable. But I could live with it...until the tube cracked again.

Until someone devises a model of this with something other than the polycarbonate that is prone to cracking when you look at it wrong, I would highly advise against incorporating this into your Brewzilla unit.
