Yeah, that's what I was saying about fermenting in a corny. The advantage of the corny is it's very mobile and because the liquid out post has a dip tube that goes right to the bottom, you can dispense your trub at the beginning and have clear beer thereafter. Monitoring your fermentation is...

Not sure how you would intend to move it from the trub if you're not going to invest in another container to take the beer/cider off the trub. You can do it with any cheap fermenter/bottling bucket, but you'd lose all your carbonation from the Fermzilla (assuming you are using it in order to...

+1 to this. I have the all rounder and it's all you'll ever need. If you spend a bit of time getting as little trub as possible from your mash tun, the trub collector is redundant. Never mind the fact that it's so easy to draw only the clear beer from above the trub level with the Fermzila...

I use TP-Link Tapo plugs. THey connect to your WiFi and an app on your phone and once you program in your leccy rates (can take up to at least three different ones) they'll record the usage and cost of any electrical item plugged into them and turned on. And currently very cheap on Amazon.

Another option is to get a corny keg (or a couple) and a CO2 bottle and then you can closed transfer from the Fermzilla to the Corny and free up your Fermzilla. You can even ferment in cornys if you have a mind to. Corny kegs are easy to get second hand and easy to clean and refurbish, parts...

I have something similar with an Oat Stout. Pitched the yeast (S-04 hydrated for about an hour in cooled wort) at 7:30pm on Saturday at 20°. Raised it up to 22° overnight to kick start fermentation and then lowered it back to 20° the next morning. Not even two days later and it's down to 1.017...

I've had this happen regularly with my Klarstein Maischfest. I recently added a bazooka filter, but this meant that the grain basket was sitting on it, so I used three short pieces of 3/4" plumbing pipe (plastic) to raise the basket above the filter. Lo and behold, no burn marks. My conclusion...
