Found this thread fascinating.
However I’m now even more confused than normal. I have been going through a one person argument for several months as to whether to buy an overpriced shinny fermenter with full glycol chilling setup allowing closed transfer etc. As everyone knows, slightest hint of oxygen after the first few days of fermentation and beer might as well end up down the drain.
Not worried for my top fermenting ales but rather more concerned for lagers which will sit in the fermentation fridge for weeks (or months).
Reading the above, should I save my money and stick with my plastic bucket approach?
Also… if pressure kills yeast, how does pressure fermentation work?
