FizzWizz at a Glance
What the FizzWizz Bubbles Anywhere Edition does, its main features, and how it fits into a brewhouse.
FizzWizz at a glance
The FizzWizz Bubbles Anywhere Edition is a carbonation management system for craft breweries. It automates forced carbonation in a brite tank: you set a target carbonation level, and the unit monitors product temperature and tank pressure to calculate and hold the finish pressure needed to reach it. The target is maintained until the product is ready to package.

Features
Carbonation management
Select a target carbonation level and the FizzWizz handles the rest. It tracks small changes in product temperature and brite tank pressure, recalculates the required finish pressure as conditions change, and holds the set carbonation level until packaging.
Operating modes
The unit is controlled with three buttons and a front-panel display. Built-in modes cover:
- Carbonation
- Pre-scrub
- Head pressure
- CO₂ flow control
- Venting
See Front Panel & Operating Modes for what each mode does.
Packaging support
During kegging, canning, or bottling, the FizzWizz regulates pressure between the tank and the filling system. Head Pressure mode keeps the product at its target carbonation level through to the packaged product.
Remote monitoring
Real-time carbonation and tank data can be viewed from a phone or computer throughout carbonation and packaging, and the recorded data can be used for quality control. See the Dashboard and Mobile Application sections.

Alerts
The FizzWizz detects and sends notifications for:
- Diminishing CO₂ supply
- Misconnections
- Leaking fittings
- Glycol system issues
- Carbonation stone inefficiencies
Sanitary construction
Ultraviolet anti-microbial lamps keep the lines leading to the carbonation stone inhospitable to microbial growth. Internal tubing is FDA food-grade.
Moisture protection
Brewery electronics often move between cold rooms and a humid brewhouse, which causes condensation. The FizzWizz circuit boards and sensor boards are sealed with a heat-cured conformal coating that protects critical components from fluid and water vapour. The coating reduces this risk but does not make the electronics waterproof, so keep liquid out of the enclosure and use an arm separator (see the Pneumatics Schematic).
Configuration
- Multiple configuration options depending on brewhouse equipment
- Mounts to a wall, a tank, or another surface
- Can manage multiple carbonation stones at the same time
- Wi-Fi enabled
The BrewWizz web app
The BrewWizz web app includes carbonation calculation tools that are free for all brewers, links to BrewWizz website and video resources, and, once a FizzWizz is connected, remote monitoring of the carbonation process.
