awesome video Gash. Really good idea using the fermentation to flush hops. will try this myself in future.

This was great - love the idea of flushing the hop jar with the CO2 produced by fermentation. Excellent video.

Idea for a double dry hop: use the kegland karbonation cap for pet bottles on the cup. Fill with your first dry hop and use as suggested. When the time comes for the second dry hop, close the butterfly valve, connect the output of the karbonation cap with the beer post of the fermzilla. Use co2 on the 2nd post of the karbonation cap and push the beer out of the cup and into the fermzilla. Remove the cup and repeat like first dry hopping.

Great video, great tips ! Thanks for sharing all this.

Thanks. Very helpful. Just doing my first brew in the fermzilla. Learned something that others might find handy. I tried to dry hop as per your method but couldn’t get the collection bottle to seal. At first thought I’d not tightened it enough but, after stuffing around a bit, I realised it had to be the seal. Took it off and checked the size of the seal and realised the one I had on was slightly smaller than another seal i had in the kit I’d bought. Put that one on and it’s fine. They both fit but obviously (now) the smaller one was stretched out too much to seal properly.

The trick of using the ferment CO2 gas to purge the corny keg of air is bloody brilliant... when you have 6 kegs washed, sanitised and needing purging that’s a lot of gas blowing out. Using the 60 litre fermentation gas to run in series with the sounding valve at the end of the line kills every bird with the one proverbial stone.

Great stuff! Can not wait to use my fermzilla. In the process of trying to find an upright freezer to use as a ferm chamber. One question - when you first pour your wort in, do you leave the butterfly valve open or closed? I’d imagine if open, trub would accumulate and I could remove that before pitching

@HomeBrewNetwork

I leave the valve open on filling, if any trub makes it to the fermenter it will settle out in it. Then when I dry hop, if using the bottle, I'll empty it and dry hop through it, but yep you could dump before pitching! If you fill with it shut, the trub will settle the bottom (on top of the valve) and then when you open the valve the bubbles going up will just force the trub back into suspension, then you'd have to wait again for it to settle. Cheers!

I hate getting drenched unscrewing the collection. The way you C02 charged the collection without a bottle is genius.

noob question for dry hopping here - would it be possible to add a small amount pressure through the dump pot at the bottom, (leaving the butterfly valve open during the whole process) then release the pressure at the top lid, remove the lid, dry hop from the top. replace and repressurise - thus not allowing oxygen into the tank and also not having to remove the yeast and loosing some beer?

G'day mate, Firstly, if you're keeping the yeast I'd remove it before adding finings. Of course you could add finings by opening the lid, but if you want to keep it oxygen free you could add finings, if liquid, or dissolve it first and add it in the same way I do in this video to a keg, but into the fermenter. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gGSVsZispc63ic4.html Cheers!

Just had a thought on dry hopping and I would love to get your thoughts. If one was to dry hop multiple times in the fermenter with this vessel you may end up losing a decent amount of liquid, what if you flipped the fermenter upside down so the liquid didn't stay in the yeast dump?

Blowtie-spunding-valve is perfect for the job. Since you're dry hopping maye start carbing after you put the dry hops in, just set it too 15-20psi and then when you start to cold crash or chill, drop it down to your serving pressure and in a few days of cold crash it will probably be carbed or at least very close. Cheers!

Hey! I will continue to pick on your experience if that's ok! 24 hours after pitch, I dumped the first litre of trub. 72 hours in I dry hopped. Its now 6 hours later and the hops are still squashed under the trub? Should I be worried? It feels like they will never be released in the beer! Any tips on how I could help their release into the beer? Also would you be so kind to share your pressure profile? I ve been keeping the spanding valve @ 5psi but as the fermentation is slowing down I guess I will need to increase pressure if I am to naturally carbonate the beer!

@HomeBrewNetwork

I've never had the hops get "trapped"?? What I would suggest is make sure the whole vessel is pressurised to 10-15psi, close the valve, release 99% of the pressure from the top, then open the bottom valve. Some when ever you dry hop, release pressure from the top, leave pressure in the hop jar after flushing the O2 out. You can also try just pumping some co2 through the hop jar Quick disconnect , but you need to be very careful that the CO2 pressure is higher than the vessel pressure because you'll get beer up your gas line, one way valve good idea. Cheers!

Beer turned out beautifully. Perfectly carbonated and oxygen free grain to glass in 10 days. One question do you get hop and trub stuck under the big black rubber seal that connects the bottom attachment to the actual fermenter? Because I remember you saying you don't really take the fermenter all the way apart if I don't there would be hop matter and trub from my last batch that doesn't get washed out unless I pull the whole thing a part. Cheers

I like your style sir! Thanks for the tips I just got a Fermzilla, and an all round, as a pipe welder the equation is- diameter times pi times length divided by CFH = #minutes you need to purge. IMHO A few minutes would evacuate almost all oxygen. Slower purge would be best, too fast may create a vortex which would continually mix oxygen into the CO2 Cheers mate!

My hops get stuked in bottom, what can I do?

CO2 is heavier than air, so flushing the hops container should work pretty quick.

HI mate, long time fan of this channel! I tried this technique in my latest batch. A bit of oververpressure in the bottom vessel caused the hops to shoot through to the top just as planned. However, the hops then settled very quickly to the bottom of the vessel. Is this going to be a problem in terms of how much flavor will be extracted from the hops now that it's just sitting there at the bottom? Should I try stirring the brew at this point to extract more flavor from the hops? I tried adding some more CO2 both through the bottom valve, as well as through the top like you describe at ca 11:00 minutes, in order to achieve some better mixing, but that didn't really stir up things the way I expected. Does anyone have some wisdom to share? :D Peace my mates!

I actually more about the dry hops floating on top and not in the wort, I often go out can give the fermenter a bit of a shake to make them drop down into the wort again.

@@HomeBrewNetwork Lol. Mine's got a beanie. no need lol.

Has anyone ever tried to oxygenate their wort through the bottom container before pitching the yeast? My thought is to connect an o2 cylinder to the carb cap and let the O2 bubble up through the wort

Sure you can! i use mostly dry yeast so I don't worry too much about oxygen unless its some special yeast or something. Cheers!

Right at the end of your video you said you were going to put it back in the fridge, then you said 35 degrees? did I hear you right!?
