Welcome to the club! Once you go pressure ferment you never go back. Looks great! And you can go much higher psi.

Love that you're wearing a Double Nickel shirt, that's one of our local breweries

I ferment in a 6 gal torpedo keg with a spundit spunding valve. My last brew was a Kveik Lutra Black Lager that I fermented at 86F and 35 psi. Was done in a week and came out super clean.

Make sure you lube your rings up makes it easier to put ball locks on and off also helps sealing better

I have both a Chubby and a 35L snub nose fermenter from Keg King. Love all the extra bonuses of pressure fermenting. I also just drop the wort in and let the yeast consume the yeast inside to start the fermentation, then as it creates the CO2, it pushes the all the oxygen out anyway. Keep up the great work.

Good job, that video helped me a lot, thank you!

Hi, just letting you know that you have your frame upside down, the handles that are down the bottom should be on top and the vessel nests inside it .

It should come with a keyring that you attach at the float end of the dip tube, then you trim the dip tube with the key ring over the thermowell so that the float slides up and down the thermowell without picking up yeast off the side of fermenter, and don't worry about the math or maths as we say in the UK 😉 , 35l is 35l anywhere in the world, where as US gallons and imperial gallons are not the same 😂 Love your videos by the way !

You're definitely more productive than me during the boil I'm mostly just being lasy drinking at that point waiting for the alarm to sound. Happy I'm not the only one that struggling to get the hoses on. If you want to dry hop in a bag without opening the fermenter you could attach the bag inside with magnets and then just remove the magnet to drop the hops in

Refractometers work great if you use the calculator to convert it to SG. But I too feel like I need to double check it with a hydrometer sometimes to be sure haha

I have a dark lager that I did with Lutra Kveik that is still under 15PSI and for shits and giggles (also limited fridge space) I've kept it for about 6 weeks now... it looks amazing and can't wait until I can keg it and drink it.

I use a Fermzilla from Kegland (we've had these types of vessels in Australia for a while) very handy but I now only pressurise at around 2-3psi to keep oxygen out, then I increase to 15psi whilst cold crashing and then transfer under pressure to a fully purged keg, works a treat!

I agree try kveik that’s all o use now in Pennsylvania. Ferment in my furnace room 85+ kolsch amber and cider all turned out great 👍

I just fermented a Märzen using that fermenter (well, the old fermentasaurus) , 34/70 yeast, under 13 psi. Brewed on Saturday and just cold crashed last night. The sample this morning I tried was nice. No off flavors that I noticed.

I have the Fermzilla version and you can serve from it after fermentation is done. No transfer to keg, but you have to cold crash so the trub settles before dispensing. Just shorten the dip tube hose so that the ball stays above the trub when the beer level gets low. I’ve only done it once and the dip tube eventually clogged but Kegland sells a filter to go on the end so next time. Checking final gravity is easy, just put a party tap on the beer post and draw out a sample. Yes it is foamy so you have to let the sample sit. Cheers!

Looks like they may have installed the handles on the bottom of the metal stand. For a stub nose, they were supposed to flip the handle location (the handle are correct for a FermaZilla Conical, but not for the stub nose). You can take the handles off, move them, flip the stand, and the fermenter will be much more stable if you like. Thanks for sharing great content. Cheers!

Try isopropanol alchol when fitting silicone tubes. Try it👌😎

I brew around 40psi it's fine.

i had a couple of those pressure valves and found them next to impossible to stabilise, i am a big fan of keg king fermenters but use the blowtie valve now, much easier to set and forget

I have been thinking of getting one of these. I’m excited to see what you think of it once your done fermenting that beer.

Oh man I love it, I already have it filled again with a Kveik Pale Ale

Just bought everything to have my own kegorator. Gonna watch your video on filling kegs. I was hoping for advice on cold crashing?

You can also make that spike fermenter you got to ferment under pressure too

I love my 65l fermzilla I use a tilt to monitor my hydrometer readings. My only issue is the 65l make a lot of beer if that’s a issue

Pressure fermentation does give you a clean beer at high temp, but you will end up losing all those nice yeast characteristics when you might want them e.g. Kolsch, saison, weizen. I only occasionally pressure ferment now as i've had some disappointing results, but really like doing closed transfers and serving off the fv. Lagers are pretty impressive under pressure tbf! 34/70 doesnt mind a bit of pressure

Hello, I liked what you said about this product, do you know if I could get this product in Canada, it is only sold in the U.S.?

I realize I am over 2 years late to this video, but the Snub Nose Fermenter link on the description doesn't land on anything specific. And a search on the site does not yield a result.

I've been waiting to try pressurized as well, cool. I've watched a few of DRHans videos on that, I think he's a 2bar guy on pressure. I'm also holding out for the Spundit 2.0, that looks like the Cadillac 🤷 Also want to try that cherry saison,( Except for the almost 10% part. 😳) 🍻

Nice video Hun

Very beautiful explanation. I have a 4 acre of land in Burdwan district West Bengal India. Price ₹4 Cr only. Very suitable for Forest Bungalow/farming/gardening etc.

I am curious to see 34/70 at 70* with pressure and with no pressure -- my guess is it would be almost the same.

Going to LA in September. Which breweries do I have to visit?

HOT DAMN, 7 day lagers is insane!

Did you fill your yeast container using pressure? How does that work if you have the floating dip tube? You need to take the yeast from the bottom of the fermenter right? Or did you just swirl it around to mix it up?

Oh I didn't know you can flip the stand around and it stands taller. Super handy!

Nothing seems to stop French Saison yeast. I have done it a bunch of times under pressure and it doesn't seem to mind. How did dry hopping in a bag ruin your Fermentasaurus? I have been using bags and also a SS steel hop cylinder in it and haven't had problems (fingers crossed).

Did you get any of the saison “yeast flavor”? I love making saisons but I was told not pressure ferment with saison yeast because you don’t get the esters. I’d love to know how yours compared to generic fermentation.

I'm sorry, so you can serve off it meaning that I could ferment in this in a temp controlled space then just connect a tap and lower the temp and it works as a keg?

Que legal. No Brasil🇧🇷 ñ tem canal de mulheres cervejeiras

Let’s hope your valve doesnt get stuck like mine did!!!

The use of technical terms is like uh amazing...I guess, whatever.

Have you fermented with Kveik yeast yet? Well... Posted anything about it yet?

Is pressurizing worth it? I need simple instructions. Looks like a vaporizer

I don't have time to watch the whole thing, but I would be careful with the premarked pressure on the spunding chance. I always use the actual gauge to set it as close as I can.

You forgot to purge the air/O2 out of the tank.

Just a heads up, you have the stand the wrong way around for the snub nose. But I guess if it works for you then go with it.

You can calibrate them with distilled water mate, set it to zero with distilled water.

purge the line with co2 before you let beer the beer run through it.

Didn’t the added sugar raise your ABV? Isn’t that why the ABV is higher than predicted? Enjoy you’re videos.

the sugar was taken into account in the recipe, the cherry juice is a bit of a wild card though

The Kegland one has a strap to make it easier to move.

Too bad they only last for a year then you're not supposed to pressure ferment in them anymore. Wish I knew that before I wasted $300 on them. I would of just bought another keg fermenter

Probably it's only official inspection date for pressure vessels in Australia, it would be the same if you bought corny keg or CO2 tank there or anything similar. If you're not checking your other pressure equipment annually (because of your country specific rules or because you prefer not to follow these rules or for any other reason) you probably can skip this control too.

The tank is pressure tested at production and is marked with a date for retesting. If it is being used under pressure, then a hydrostatic test must be conducted after every 24 months of use to ensure that it is safe for reuse.
