    Fermzilla All rounder - Dry Hop valve review

    I usually do near the end of fermentation, you could drop and purge. It was the after fermentation that made me panic

    Fermzilla All rounder - Dry Hop valve review

    Im currently brewing a Verdant Even Sharks Clone and it asks for an oxygen free dry hop after fermentation. I know people use magnets, however that's a no go for me, when I'm wrestling my fermzilla into a small fridge. It's the first time I have used the valve, I had to use 2 tee peices to...

    Brewzilla whirlpool arm and transfer to fermentor

    When it works I love the whirlpool arm, but it's 50/50 for me. I seem to have bits of grain escaped that blocks the pump and I'm already using a hop spider. Does anyone have any tips to avoid it. Apart from don't let grain escape 😃 Apologies for hijacking

    Mossic and simcoe

    Last beer I did was a pale ale with Mosaic and Eldorado. I did a hop stand with a 50/50 split and a dry hop of Eldorado. Grain was 60% pilsner, 20% flaked oats, 10% flaked wheat, 10% flaked Barley. I really enjoyed it and I would make it again. No cat like flavours going on, more pineapple/citrus

    Fermzilla 30L allrounder

    Cheers for the reply, yeah I lube the carb caps and lid too. The pop trick works really well. I bought a strap wrench for the lid to make things a little easier. I'm loking forward to my next brew and using the valve for the first time. I've better get a move on for Xmas though.

    What clearance/width do you have? You can tip it in the holder too. Kegland released a new disconnect with a push fit built in, that might help too

    Fermzilla 30L allrounder

    How do you find the vavle? I have one however I have just been removing the lid and drying hoppping near the end of fermentation. I'm planning a verdant clone and it asks for a dry hop after fermentation. I have the red tee peice, so Im thinking a purge of CO2 a few times before dumping. I...

    Is a brewzilla, bucket & pressure barrel enough for all grain brews?

    I wanted to brew NEIPAs. That led to a fermzilla, 2 cornies, CO2 and a keezer with all the trimmings. My wife wasn't pleased, however when somebody comes around, she always shows if off and asks if they want a beer.

    Do you use the insulated jacket for it too? It may help if not

    Brewzilla

    Agree with regards to the overflow. Personally I use the overflow and top screen. I tend to go for a thick mash and low flow rate with the pump. Last brew was 6kg grain including 20 percent flaked oats and wheat. I added rice hulls and 20 litres of water. I was just under my expected gravity...

    I used the whirlpool arm for the first time at the weekend. It really helped maintining the temperature at 80 degrees. It did cone and definitely I have less trub in the fermenter.

    Fermzilla All Rounder - £49:50 at Get Er Brewed

    Can't see why it won't, any dry hops add 5 to 10 points before final gravity. Only other tip is how to remove the lid easily. Release the pressure, unscrew the threaded part of the lid so it's loose but still attached. Apply a little CO2 via the carbonation cap and it bumps off. I've mainly...

    Fermzilla All Rounder - £49:50 at Get Er Brewed

    Yeah I love mine. I picked up some keg lube and apply to the lid and carbonation caps for security with maintaining pressure. Might be over caution, but worth it in my opinion. Oxygen free transfers are a breeze. Connect a picnic tap for gravity readings, mark your beer carbonation cap with a...
