And it went to hell right after mash in.
I bought a Brewzilla a while ago and finally found time today. Everything went will. The old BarleyCrusher worked; the BrewZilla was dead nuts on temperature; I mash in hit the pump to start recirculating; and then leave the room for a minute. The recirculating hose decides it doesn’t want to stay in the kettle and wort went everywhere. That was a PITA to clean up.
Anyhow the brew day was shot. I’ll try again on Friday. At least I know that the system works.
First time brewing in years today

the picture I see online looks like it's mostly hard plumbed up to the top and the silicone tubing just goes straight down. is yours different?

Well, at least you're brewing. I'm still waiting for enough crap to get done to get back in the game.
So congrats on at least giving it a shot. I hope your next attempt succeeds and you make beer, tasty beer.
What were you brewing if I might ask?

I really need to brew again soon. I actually bought some ingredients for a pale ale several months ago, and haven't got around to it yet.
