Looks intriguing but I couldn’t quite see how it comes together. Got a diagram or photo to show that?

Interesting; he’s got such great energy, and a serial inventor! Is the brew pot the same as his “all-in-one Pot-au-Brew” he told me about? He also said he had approached the UK’s The Malt Miller which I don’t suppose went anywhere. Maybe I’ll ask them.

I was looking at the Amazon offering as well - it’s the shipping cost that kills it. In fact I wrote to the inventor and asked what plans he had for a model to go in a fermenter. Here’s his reply Yes, we have a Double Filter Inlet for ball float typically used in Fermzella or Fermentasaurus...

Really helpful, thanks. I had been wondering which loop to use.

Yes would be keen to see, thanks

Funny you say that. I was also using a marble which I think was part of the problem. Though at the start of the problem there was no marble and I was trying to fix the no flow issue and the filter partially sticking above the surface. I’ve come to mistrust the inefficient filter mechanism and...

I have another thread running on the problem of the traditional floating ball and filter set up in a Fermzilla Gen2. It got stuck - no flow, and until it started I never really found out why. I was always sceptical of the angle of the filter and how it alternated between poking above the surface...

This might be the most likely cause but I fear I will never know. Last night with the thousandth attempt I finally got a flow! Big thanks to all you contributors out there. I am left with some doubt about the floating ball and filter set up - and looking at the Flotit 2 which gets closer to the...

Def not that, it’s already shortened and I can see it has a straight run

Yes, the problem seems to be with the dip tube. It’s just not running up the tube from the float/filter end. An airlock or something would make sense, but I’m damned if I can solve it.

Def worth a try, but sadly didn’t work

Nothing

I absolutely agree - but I’ve had the dip tube out several times and cleaned, checked, cursed it and reassembled.

No, nothing Nothing, the tube from FV liquid post is empty standard one. The more I look at this, the more I see the problem is that no beer is entering the dip tube from the the FV to the underside of the FV liquid post. The tube looks like it has no liquid in so it’s not getting up to the...

CO2 blasted in to FV no problem. FV is definitely pressurised as I can test with quick release of its psv
