Brilliant straight forward video. Thanks for keeping it simple

Thanks for the info, Just ordered the all rounder with the pressure kit.

Thanks very much for all this info. Very helpful

If possible, write the recipe for the prepared beer under your video.)Very interesting and unusual beer recipes you have

Hello there, getting back into brewing..... id like to bottle my beer still, do you think I could add half a carbonation drop to 1250ml bottle to store for a longer time ? id like to get the 60L all rounder to save time brewing, cheers for the great video Brett

Hey, great video. Now that you've brewed more on this do you still feel like you don't really need the conical part of this fermenter (as you mention at around 6:15)? Do you think the All Rounder is still a better option? Or do you now find that you prefer having the conical part? I ask because I cannot currently find the latest version of the conical FermZilla (with the all the upgrades and improvements) in the United States so I'm considering just getting the All Rounder. Thanks!

Hi, the conical part is more for people so serious about yeast that they are willing to do that extra job of rinsing, drying, freezing and re use that same yeast. It might be that they want to save a certian yest strain they got some place special?? Like a 5000 year old viking farm in Norway, but consider this: 11g of dried yeast cost 4-5$ maybe less. Go for Allrounder in my opinion. Much less parts, easier to clean and very compact.

What size and brand of mini fridge are you using ?

how do you get rid of the hops after you are done with dry hopping if you want to serve the beer from the same vessel (fermzilla in this case)?

How did you hack the cooler to go to 0 C?

Hi Lucas! Did you notice any difference between ramp up the temperature by 1 deg C day by day or set up the desired temperature at once?

@LucasSteyn

3 жыл бұрын

Thats why i have a 25w element. Slow ramp up for temp. It takes all night and half the next day to ramp up 3-4 deg. So it goes slow, but no problem at all. No off tastes. The yeast natural heat production happens faster, so thats my baseline. If they heat themself up faster, why should i do it slower?

It Is a kveik yeast ? temperature Is very High ! and how much should that almost 500 grams of CO2 last ?

What is the name of that heating element? I think kegland recommends a jacket before putting on any heating element. Glad to see that you really don't need to spend more money on a jacket. I've been using a desktop heater for mine and its starting to melt my fermentor and fridge a little

Hello. How do you find pressure fermentation in context of yeast growth in the beginning of fermentation. I read opinions that fermenting under pressure inhibit the yeast growth and also the “wanted” esters. I read also that up to 15 psi doesn’t impact on yeast growth much. Do you usually start with low pressure and then ramp up during the fermentation process or set target pressure from the start? I am wondering what is your opinion about that?

@LucasSteyn

3 жыл бұрын

See them as opinions and not facts, i have not had a single problem, and I compare my beers with big breweries beers and i should say that i like mine best since its as fresh as can be and i get the intended and original taste. Active fermentation start pretty quick weather under pressure or not and 80% of the fermentation work is done then. The extra pressure and heat accelerates the last 20 %. I start fermentation at 1.5 bar and the max recommended temperature on the yeast packet, after active fermentation i increase pressure to 2-2.3bar and increase the allready maxed temperature with 2-3 deg. This us usualy 27/28 deg C for ale and 29 deg for lager

@LucasSteyn

No, since the bucket takes 6 weeks and pressure takes 5 days, so the one will have an aging advantage if i split the batch. Unless i brew the same beer once more when the bucket nears end. But such patience is not in my bones. MAYBE if i landed on one particular beer that i want to perfect to compete in some milion dollar competition, then yes. But no. Didn’t do it.

When you Connect the spunding valve? Directly from the start of the fermentation? And you disconnect the the final gravity is correct?

@LucasSteyn

I pressurize it from the start to test and set the spunding valve to ensure that there is no sticky fluid hindering the valve. I then remove it and let the yeast do its thing. After i got FG i drop temp to 2°c while having co2 connected so i get good absorbtion.

I just don't understand why is that fermenting system is faster than a regular bucket? Because it can be pressurized ? So the yeast ferment faster when pressurized? It need to be 1.5 Atm from the beggining and to the end of 3-4 days with 18°C it is completely fermented? After 3-4 days you start cold crushing to 2°C and after anouther 2 days you can served? So When do you put tour gelatine on wich day?
