Great video explaining the different methods, thanks for that. I'm just starting to get keen on a bit of home brewing and learning lots. Thanks Gash!

You saved the day... I watched this video before went to transfer today before I forgot to equalize. Loving the fermentasarus thanks to your reviews = ya made this real easy. Also taking your advise with the keg lube and all the other great tips. Keeping it simple and effective. Thanks!

Excellent! The keg purge from the fermenter is freakin’ genius! Less steps = less work = more fun! I’m brewing a Wee Heavy tomorrow for my first run in my new Fermzilla, I think I’ll give that a try. As always, thanks for the great info.

Thank you!

For those curious, if you are tight on gas you can save the 70g or so used here by letting it gravity syphon under pressure instead of pushing through with the bottle. Do exactly as in the video, except once it's started disconnect gas and spunding valve then run a jumper between the two gas posts.

Thanks for these videos. Has taught me how to ferment and keg from knowing basically nothing ! Question..... In my Fermzilla I have just hit my FG ( fermented around 8psi) . I am going try enclosed transfer after I cold crash. What psi do you recommend for cold crash. I've read that 15psi is good? Would you agree? If that is the case, do I then set the psi in keg at 15 when transferring? Thanks

Great video! I just got my 13.5 gallon Fermzilla but I got a little gun shy for the first closed transfer and kept turning off the gas. I was afraid to let the gas keep coming in, but I guess that’s what the PRV is for, right? You kept it at 10 psi from the gas line for the entire transfer? Thanks!

Good video, good instruction.

Hey mate at the end you said you can bottle the rest. Did you mean closed transfer into bottle? Can that be done?

Gash, Love your work. I like to pressure transfer by connecting gas to gas and beer to beer (in that order). Have the fermzilla higher than the keg and let gravity do the work. You have to start with a purged pressurised keg but is saves blowing off gas from the bottle. Sometimes it needs a little pull on the pressure release valve of the keg to get it moving.

@HomeBrewNetwork

I have tried that, and it is on one of the videos some where, to be honest I like not having to move the fermenter around anymore, it just stays in the fermenting chamber. Thanks and cheers David!

If I’m fermenting under say 10psi And want to go into a cold crash should I drop my spunding so it doesn’t allow that pressure to carb up? As I want to do a closed transfer? Or won’t it produce more co2 while cold crashing?

Excellent.

Can you use the new stype of spunding valve for this? Seeing as it has the gauge incorperated in the housing you can't remove it. Or shoudl I just get a valve only spunding valve for doing this?

Another great video - thanks! Might be a daft question but on the third part of the video where you have your gas connected up to the Fermentasaurus and then the Bowtie valve on the keg - does that use a load of gas from your C02 tanks during the transfer process? What pressure do you tend to do the transfer at? Thanks again - subbed to your channel you have a great way of explaining things mate.

@Agouti

Жыл бұрын

You'll go through about 70g of gas doing it this way, depending on the pressure. You can save that by disconnecting the bottle and spunding valve once it's started and running a jumper between the two gas posts so it naturally gravity syphons.

Gash, what psi are you using to push into the keg?

Anything will help mate!

For purging the keg with pushing the starsan, what about spundit on the FV keeping the vessel pressure constant and using the bleed co2 to push the starsan from the keg to a bucket? - means you don't need a second keg. I guess the only thing that might be a problem is where the pressure differential over your spundit diaphragm is coming from - might end up keeping your FV pressure offset to something incorrect. Any thoughts?

Thank you for such a clear explanation. I'm going to keg tomorrow, 2/5, and plan to fill the keg with Starsan, and then pressurise, and pump out the Starsan, then direct transfer from my Fermzilla. My question is about "burping" the keg. If I transfer from Fermzilla into a keg full of CO2, do I have to "burp" it, and, if I do how many times? I presume it's after I bump it up to 30psi.

This isnt about sanitation, although you can do it at the same time, its about making sure there is absolutely no oxygen left in the keg, well as close as you can get, by filling it up and emptying with CO2. A stronger mix of a few litres might do it, but are you really sure?

@HomeBrewNetwork

@@haydnmaxwell649 The main thing with brewing is cleaning, I know peeps keep carrying on about sanitising, but the most important is cleaning, sanitising is just a tiny part of it, you can't sanitise a turd or dirt, so the clean is most important. You assume a keg is clean and ready for filling, there's no need for sanitiser at all, but most people do just for good feels.. Fact is sanitiser is most important, but still less important than cleaning, before the ferment, at the start. Once alcohol is involved, alcohol is a great sanitiser and makes a very uncomfortable environment for any nasties. So you have a clean keg and you fill it with an alcoholic beverage and put in it a fridge, the chance of any nasties getting hold of it is extremely extremely small, it wont happen. The cold and the booze will win. I use a tiny bit of Sodium Metabisulphite, its a sanitiser, I dont add enough to make a true full strength sanitiser, just a touch. What that does is its enough to get rid of the chlorine and chloramine almost immediately. Even if you beef that SMB dose up, to sanitiser levels, if your keg is set up right, the dip tube in the middle of the keg, in the little dimple, when you push it all out, theres maybe a 1/4 of teaspoon max left behind of weak sanitiser, which also happens to be an oxygen scavenger, so you dont get any oxidation from the water left over. Its so safe it doesnt even have to be on a label of a food stuff unless its over 10ppm. SMB ticks a lot of boxes. People dont seem to mind Star San which is virtually a weak Chlorine Gas, highly toxic.. The chemical world gets highly misrepresented because its tricky, but I do understand concerns. Cheers mate!

if the beer is not carbed. when filling the keg on the co2 side have a tube drop into a bucket of sanitizer it keeps the keg pressured it will blow bubbles into the sanitizer as beer is being pushed from the ferm and u can tell when the keg is full beer leaks out of the co2 side.

Nice vid.. ive had my zilla just under a year now, absolutely OVER IT! Takes for ever to keg transfer beer, not to mention the gas usage and o-ring/float replacements I've had to do! and you need to replace the actual plastic pressure vessel every year or so as well which they dont tell you.. in my opinion, if you can save up for a stainless conical then you're much better off.. I have seen a closed circuit transfer method where you run a gas-gas line from the keg back to the zilla to save gas but it still takes ages to transfer..

I dont know how long I've had mine, since they came out, i have a couple now, I've not had to change an oring since day one, there is a use by date on the vessel, but all you need to do is pressure test it to continue use, but again if your not using it at high pressure not much to worry about, I changed my first one out the other week, not because it was stuffed but just because I'd bought one of the new ones slightly different shape and thought I'd try it.. I have a video on the gas-gas line, thats way too slow for me, I prefer to use some gas to push it . The only thing restricting the flow/speed is the fittings and hose, which you'll probably use on all fermenters because no matter what you'll end up going through the keg poppet at the end so cant go any faster than that. They arent for everyone, but I enjoy mine, one day if I win lotto or something I maybe be able to get a pressurised stainless vessel, they are very expensive, i could use a stainless 50L keg but ugh the cleaning, anyway mate, each to their own!

Or can do the same in fermenter when cold crashing. Maybe too much trouble? :D Cheers!
