outstanding vid Larry. I love the casual, easy going style you have and that you don't edit out the gotchas as you learn about them. Nice style, great job.

Best beer vids I’ve seen yet. All your videos are straight forward and to the point.

I love that you don’t edit out the mistakes or problems in your videos. Subbed

You're right, Larry, a lot of thought and care went into the design of this conical. The best one I've seen yet.

Another great video Larry. I really like this thing - wow, to be able to pressurise is fantastic! And the volume - bigger than the fast ferment which makes it perfect for my batch size. This is now on my wanted list! Thanks!

Hi Larry, thank you for that great review video! This helped me a lot to get friends with my Fermentasaurus! Today i transferred the first brew into a KEG, it worked fantastic and i love that device! Greetz from Germany! Jochen

Great video Larry. Your last videos showed just how easy it is to Homebrew and how this hobby has evolved. Thanks

Thanks Larry! Great review. I always like it when a review is start to finish like this.

Enjoyed watching Larry. Well put together and I informative. I like when forgot to add tbe yeast in your excitement, we've all been there. Also when you came out the closet about your lack of trub dumping. Made me laugh. All the best. Happy Brewing.

Thanks Larry!! love the vids. im an avid all grain brewer and just purchased the fermentasaurus also..great buy.

Fantastic video Lazman! I'm buying one in a couple of days. This has been most helpful.

Larry, you are amazing! Thank you for ALL that you do! Please keep it up! I'm still getting caught up on your video library... and your shirt in this video is BANGARANG!

Well if Larry likes the Fermentasaurus and EMS Brewing likes Larry's video then I guess my mind is made up on which conical fermenter I'm getting!

Larry - that is a really cool product. Thanks for sharing!

The best clip on the subject I’ve seen so far. Well done Larry

Thank you. Glad you liked it!

I love your brew vids Larry, hope all is well, hope to see some new content from ya soon!

Good video especially since I was on the fence about getting one of these. I'm definitely getting one of these now.

That's pretty impressive I've always had troubles with sediment during transferring process, that little ball seems like a clever idea to stop sucking yeast or either hops going to the corny keg, I'll definitely do my own version. Cheers Larry and thanks for the video! Big fan of you 🍻

Fermentasaurus looks very good and practical... I maybe purchase one of those in the future. Execellent video and a lot useful knowledge Larry. Greetings from El Salvador Central América.

Excellent videos! Thanks for these reviews, they are easy to understand for someone who is just getting into brewing. I've​ made several batches and want to get better every time! You make that easy. Thanks, I'll keep watching.

Love the spunding valve idea on the keg! been pulling that valve for probably 30 brews! Hahaha great video man! love the fermentasaurus! great for dry hopping with a little co2 purge in the collection jar

Hi Larry this is a great product, and with a few tweaks it could be fantastic. I have had occasional clogging problems around the butterfly valve even when I ferment with an air lock i.e. not under pressure. They are about to release a Mk2 vision with a larger butterfly valve to avoid clogging, a bigger top opening to allow easy cleaning, and stronger stand. Also two sizes will be offered - 27 litres and 50 litres. If any of you are considering buying one of these wait till late 2018 and get the Mk2. I'll be getting one and then using the Mk1 as a keg with natural conditioning.

Thanks, and I’m not into yeast harvesting. I like the size too, fits in my smaller freezer size fermenter. Thanks Larry, and you’re the man.

Loved the walk through the entire process with the mistakes/issues. You did not get to the co2 and fluid Temperature till the very end,Loved your control methods for transferring warm co2 charged liquid. Probably the only way to do it at room temp. I chill my cider first before messing with the keg, and i use 5 liter kegs ( allot of them) just to make handling and storing/transporting easier for my limited space. it also allows making many flavor variations among each one. I think I will get one but put it on wheels. In late fall and winter take outside to chill.

Nice vid Larry. Thanks and planning on buying two over here in Europe.

I just got a 3 gallon conical fermenter. 3G Fast Ferment. I like it and it fits my apartment space. But now I want a bigger fermenter so it looks like I need to clear off some space. These conicals clog up down in the small throat, but, that is part of the game I guess. Cheers. Thanks for the great video.

Thanks for the video matey! Very professional and heaps of facts! Thanks again

Thanks Larry I thought so looking for a good beer from now on cheers

Thanks so much! You review has helped me make up my mind in which conical fermenter I'll use for cider. I don't think I'll have have to worry about your trub clogging issue with cider but it looks like they fixed that issue with the version 2, called FermZilla.

Thanks! Excellent presentation and very informative. Well Done!

Hi Larry that's a nice bit of kit you've got there.

Love this blokes honesty. he doesnt talk shit. Great video mate.

Great video as always! very thorough. for the price I feel like this is a steal for what it can do.

Love this review... I'm going to spread your links.

Very informative Larry. Thanks. Feel kinda dense for loosing so many magnetic stir bars over the years. Mostly to my whisky boiler. You answered my question about getting foam in the beer vessel transfer line. Couldn’t figure that one out. I wasn’t pressurising the receiving vessel at all. Makes sense now.

Another great review man. Thanks.

Great video! As always very informative!

Great video Larry! Thank you

I've heard pressure suppresses yeast activity. I wouldn't allow pressure to build up until after you drop trub, or the krausen begins to drop.Then cap it with your awesome spunting valve and crash cool under pressure when it's done. Nice vid and really cool fermenter.

An awsome video and well explained. Thank you so much.

The biggest advancement in home brewing! Pressurizable!

Nice review. You can actually use a sodastream bottle on the bottom instead of the trub collector. You can collect more trub this way. Keep the valve open and it will eventually all settled into the bottle.

Hi Larry great video, I bought myself the Fermzilla but made the same error you did by fermenting at a lower PSI whilst at room temp. I have kegged and began refrigerating the beer but I am unsure how to add carbonation. I brewed your Laargarden and I can't wait to get into it. Thanks!

Excellent Video!

Great review Larry. 👍 That yeast volcano tho! 🌋 Lol.

Hi Larry, thank you for doing this vid, I'm new to home brewing and love your channel, helping me loads. Can I ask though, what pressure did you set the spunding valve to when fermenting in the fermentasaurus?

Great review, very useful!

Have a gravity question for you Larry, how far off will your gravity be with CO2 in solution or do you just let the beer go flat in the test jar and then get your gravity. Thanks again keep your videos coming. Cheers

Great Job! Just an advice, working with high pressures I would use protection goggles

When you were cleaning h it how hot was the water. I have one of these and the instructions says to not use water over 50 degrees Celsius.

Hi Larry I'm just wondering could my problem be my electric elements because when they heat up there is a chemical reaction a cloud of dust coming off them so I've now replaced them with new ones and they are heating clean no reaction when do you think I know you use propane any thoughts thanks Ps I love your videos

A couple of thoughts; 1) You should get a pressure controlled compressor. Spending CO2 on cleaning wasteful and a compressor can be used to add oxygen to your beer so you don't have to buy it and also, it's nice if you use a keg for carbonated water since water doesn't spoil in contact with oxygen. 2) I think the collection ball is most useful when you don't ferment under pressure, such as with wines. The floating liquid line makes it more or less pointlest, except for collecting yeast for reuse. I completely agree with you that trubes does no harm to your beer. However, you may want to delay opening the valve until there's some pressure in the keg in order to make sure it doesn't clog. If you're worried about adding the small amount of oxygen, which I wouldn't worry about at all, then you can just fill it with co2 before connecting it.

by the by...enjoyed the video,very informative...Cheers and keep on truckin or in your case brewin

Hi Larry any thoughts on water chemistry I'm using my water from a private well and it's soft ph of 5.4 do I need to up my ph what do you think thanks

Could you lower the pressure via relief valve before removing trub in jar?

You deserve a lot more subs and views my man! Awesome video, if you want to top it, maybe pour one of the freshly made beers at the end ;)

you just sold me on the damn fermentasaurus.

Great video! Found the Fermentasaurus online, but can't locate the port cap you show for CO2 and liquid. Where did you purchase your set up?

Awesome! Got mine all put together just waiting to brew again to test this thing out. If you don't mind me asking how much do you have into your spunding valve? I see they have them on morebeer for about 40 bucks

Hello Larry excuse me my english isn't perfect maybe i dont understand of all. When the first fermentation finish you use sugar for the second and carbonation? Or only pressure? thank you

I usually do that pressure brew with the apple juice bottle ( large great value) to make hard cider juice lol..ive noticed the pressure encourages the yeast sediments to go down all at once.

Really debating to get this or the catalyst fermenter you reviewed but I’m leaving more for this due to the minimal oxygen exposure. How would you dry hop without introducing oxygen? Also I’m going to look at your fermzilla video after beacuse ppl are saying the valve sucks on the fermnetasoures

Also if you can , 24 hours before transferring , put the fermenter in a fridge , temperature at 36 f and the yeast will go down more and the beer more clear , transferring your beer cold create less foam and more easy . Have a second fermenter to reuse the yeast for new beer

Would releasing the pressure allow you to remove the trub without foaming? Once replaced, the big tank would repressurize?

How are you taking an accurate gravity reading if it's carbonated? What did you use to calculate accounting for the co2?

I get the Blow-off valve system, "but" the dial unit where and what do you call it

Very cool! seems easy enough. The stand doesn't seem ideal though. Reminds me of tomato cages.

What did you do about light. The clear plastic would have me worried. Great video. Look forward to more.

Nice work on the video as always and on the valve setup. One thing to possibly add in the future may not be a bad idea is a check valve just in case if beer were to flow into the tubing if there were too much volume in fermenter vs the keg. Edit: now that I think about my comment, I don't believe a check valve would work in the setup you have there since you would still need to let gas out through the valve.

Hi Larry, great video. How long in total did it take to transfer the beer to the keg?

Awesome Video!

so can I use a counter pressure bottle filler to fill my bottles?

What's the process for dry hopping and doing this under pressure?

Larry, I think the hose on the floating ball is to small. What is it like 1/4in dia? How long did it take to transfer?

Great vid, only concern I have is, according to the instructions I read online, you are meant to be able to use the collection vessel to dry hop! How are you going to do that if your not going to remove the trub vessel under pressure?

Hi Larry, great video. I bought a Fermentasaurus today because this video really impessed me. I bought a Coopers Lager Diy beer can because the guy at the shop suggested it . I like Pabst Blue Ribbon but I'm not sure that the Coopers Lager was the correct product for the Fermentasaurus. I just wanted to make my first batch as simple as possible after not making my own beer for 30 years. I liked the idea of the trub being deposited into the trub ball. Do you have any suggestions of brew kits I could buy ? I like an american or canadian lager that is light. Any suggestions to a new user of this device ?

Anyone knows how to find the green container for sanification like the one at 8:40?

It looks like there was some sort of expiration date on the unit? Appears the date was 2019? Can you confirm? Looked like it said do not pressurize after 2019? Thanks....great video!

How did you determine what PSI to let this ferment at?

Nice , informative and innovative cheers

So, now several months out, what are your thoughts on this? Still positive?

Is this now your go to fermenter. If so I am assuming you use C02 to put pressure on fermenter, leave trube to the end and transfer with same C02Thank you

Great video!

Great video. I have been looking at one of these and you have a very nice, detailed video showing the process I want to perform for my NEIPAs

Cool addition to your home set up, some things you can do differently: - Every time you collect yeast slid a tray under the capsule. - leave floating hydrometer inside the Fermentasaurus, it will roughly give you the gravity at any given point without the need to measure gravity under carb beer. - Add the float and the racking tube after 75% fermentation over. The issue with this new toy and other toys like it is none of this conical fit in small fridge. Cheers

One other thing to think about. I believe carbonation throws off hydrometer readings. I've seen pros degas the sample before taking a reading to get it more accurate. I would imagine if it's floating in there with ~2 vols of CO2 it's going to throw the reading off. Which probably also happened with his hydrometer sample.

Well, good to know.

Why didn’t you release the pressure in the fermenter before emptying the trub ?

what kind of grease are you using?

Larry, they make whats called a Frisbee to catch the spillage from the collection ball, or just use a round cake pan. Make life a lot easier.

Nice setup you got. You must be quite busy with all these hobbies you have. I'm finding that wine making is enough for me now, but the beer making looks like something that I might do in the future. How long does homemade beer keep? Thanks.

I was just wondering if you work in the Building Trades, and if so what trade?

Have you tried the higher pressure fermentation yet? Looking for the proper pressure for fermentation before I drop $60 on the kit.

Hey Larry, how long does the fermentasaurus last? It looks flimsy.

More pressure to push , we are using 16 psi and let the keg purge Valve open , when beer overflow it s full

Is this suitable for wine?

BEER-N-BBQ by Larry In the video you said you could have had the pressure higher. Wouldn't this force the trub down into the catch ball or does it plug that tightly? I'm not a brewer but am looking to get into it, One question I have is you open the valve to the catch ball right away. Shouldn't you keep it closed till its done fermenting so that all the yeast interacts with the beer? And if so wouldn't the higher pressure force the trub down? Next question is in regards to when you pulled the catch ball off. It was a heck of a mess but could you have lowered the overall pressure for say a day before so the carbonation would settle out and then remove the catch ball with less pressure, clean up the ball and then reattach the ball, then increase the pressure back up? These are just some things that went through my mind as I watched your excellent informative videos.

Have you experimented with fermenting above 10 PSI? I've read that at that point the pressure is detrimental to the yeast. Which makes it seem like pressurized fermentation isn't a viable way of fully carbonating beer.

I thought carbonation (natural or not) would skew hydrometer readings?

Beer and BBQ ! Damn you are a hero ! I'm gonna subscribe and watch your work :D

By the way, thank you for your review. Did the Fermentasaurus is resilient ? I was looking for Pilot sized fermentor and all in one brewing tank, so it have to be resilient ^^

Instead of fermenting under pressure, how about just having the airlock in for the primary fermentation and then carbonate it after draining the sediment into the receiving bottle?

Nice wort to keg overview. There definitely is a higher pressure required for beer at higher temperatures. I have some other ideas about this product.. Coming soon😉 Cheers Larry! 🍻
