I just bought a 55 Lt fermentor this new generation with the lid which has a TC-2". After installing the twister heat exchanger (it goes inclined), I tried to install the thermowell. It is then when I realized it was going to be a challenge... I had to bend the thermowell to avoid an evident interference with the heat exchanger, but the worst part is when I tried to put the nut that comes with the duo tight bulkhead...it is just impossible.... I had to scrap the lid. I strongly suggest you to assemble all the parts and accessories for these fermenters before launching them to the market... My suggestion: Make room for the nut of the thermowell duo tight bulkhead.

Nice job on the upgrade to the previous gen. Question does the FermZilla 2 Inch Tri-Clover Lid also fit a chilling coil? Should have a deluxe kit with all parts? (Full accessories kit....)

Yes we will do a video on this showing how to install the Temp twister cooling coil and a thermowell.

One of the nice features of the Fermzilla (and All Rounder) has been the ability to see what’s going on during fermentation. With a stainless steel version coming out, it would seem this benefit would be eliminated unless you were to remove the lid. Obviously, one can keep track of fermentation via a RAPT pill, or Tilt, but it’s not quite the same as tracking visually. Will the SS Fermzilla design include a large tri-lamp opening (for adding hops, etc) similar in size to the current Fermzilla, with an option to add a ‘see through’ plastic insert that would still be capable of maintaining the pressure rating of the unit?

I thought the exact same thing. Apparently the limitation was the force on the large sized lid and a screw on lid was much stronger. You have to remeber the seal itself hasnothing to do with the the thread. It's a radial o-ring seal, the thread just holds the lid in place.

@KegLand

It's simply not possible to make the neck of the FermZilla from PET and make is strong enough to hold pressure with the large 4" opening. So we are unable to do this at this stage. Threads have larger engagment area making it easier to meet the required tensile strength as we can use more revolutions of thread to increase strength while with tri-clover you only have one rim. We have been able to achieve this in 3" TC but this is too small to get your are inside to clean

If you are not fermenting under pressure then you can either use a syphon to empty the fermenter or alternatively you can use one of the PCO1881 ports on the collection container to gravity feed out of the fermenter. really it's best to just use under pressure as this is how the vessel has been designed.

Bought a 27L FZ but quickly found I don’t use the dump valve, I don’t collect yeast for re-use and I add hops from the top - in fact the only use for the trub jar is to inject CO2 to maintain a positive pressure whilst dry hopping from the top. Also upgraded to a 55L FZ tank because high Krausen would gum-up my spunding valve on the 27L version. So since I only make 19L batches (i.e. one Corny kegs worth) what I’d like please is a 35L (for Krausen head room) all rounder with hop bong attachment - This would be perfect. Also is there enough room in the tri-clamp version of the lid to fit a thermowell? Cheeers.

Hello Patrick. Once orders have been shipped its difficult to change. With that said if you ship the product back to us within 30 days you still can get a refund on the parcel but you have to organise the return shipping. I should also say that yesterday was a Victorian public holiday so if you tried to contact our customer service staff yesterday we were probably on holiday.

KegLand has two main distributors in America. www.morebeer.com and www.williamsbrwing.com It's best to contact these guys directly and they can give you lead times and approximate arrival dates.

Looks like a great fermenter, but any plans for a thermowell? It’s missing a thermowell. Add one and it’s 100% perfect!

|It's not possible to make the tri-clamp with this large 120mm opening as the forces are too great when under pressure so it would not be safe to make a 4inch tri-clover from PET plastic.

The only thing I dont like about these conicals is the "use by date" - at least with respect to pressurised fermentation. I assume that you can continue using these conical fermenters past their safety use by date, without pressure. I also notice that the bottom collection vessel rests directly onto the table and that you needed to lift the fermenter slightly in order to remove the container. With a full fermenter I can see some issues with doing this easily and there is added stress placed on the tri-clover connections

Hello Petra. Yes you can continue using them without presser. alternatively you can just do another hydro test and then continue to use under pressure. All pressure vessels including stainless steel ones should be pressure tested periodically.

The PET tank itself cannot handle boiling liquid. The valve, lid and collection container can but just not the tank.

@@Christoph1888 Yes absolutely. We have done a lot of research in heat resistant alternatives to PET and only two resin types are suitable. They only issue is that they are both about 20-25 times more expensive than PET. We have been told that one of them is likely to decrease in price in the future and once the price is low enough I think we will jump straight on it.

As someone who has melted a FZ all rounder throwing in hot wort I learned the hard way. As I only have rainwater it's very difficult to waste water to cool my wort down, so I often chuck them into my 'ol faithful HDPE fermenter right after the boil and put them in the fermentation fridge and pitch yeast the next morning (almost like hot cubing... Which I do as well). I will TOTALLY be on board and happy to pay a bit of a premium to get a heat rated FZ. Please Kee... Make it happen. I reckon there's enough people that would pay a bit extra for the upgrade.

@KegLand

2 жыл бұрын

@@o3ville1 Yes I agree the heat rated would be really nice. With the tempeature resistant plastic fementer technically it would be possible to boil in the fermenter so you are sterilising the fermenter at the same time as you are boiling. So I agree that it would be highly advantageous but the cost per fermenter would increase by about $80 due to the high material price cost.

If you guys setup a US based store you would make a kazillion dollars.
