Yeah you could do that, no problem. Most people use more or less the same yeast for everything anyway. I brew my beers with Kveik. Have done so for a long time. I like to harvest. The fermentasaurus is by far the easiest to use, but the hole is very small. I emty it twice or three times each...

Don't let this in any way put you of owning one. It's a really good piece of kit. The fermzilla and the fermentasaurus both. This happened because I wasn't informed on how to use the jar correctly. From now on I'll use some keglube and it'll be fine. Its all about what you need. If you just want...

I learned the hard way that you need to lube the collection jar on the fermzilla... Couldn't get it of when I wanted to collect my horningdal yeast. Used the provided tool and BAM! Yeast everywhere. It broke in half. The whole jar. Imagine my floor and the dace of my better half. So...use lube.

Good for you mate. My better half is always saying the same thing, my answer is always why? ;)

I've been experimenting with making wine under pressure. At high pressure. (20-30psi) I can finish a wine in a week with no bad tastes resulting from stressing the yeast. Same with some beer yeasts. Like with beer, the pressure keeps it all clean. Also much rounder taste. I have a thread on here...

Yeah same here when I used to bottle. It eventually always cleared up. Took some time though. Its the legged stuff I normally have issues with. Voss that is, my latest horningdal one cleared up nicely in about 2 weeks in the fermentasaurus.

Probably pretty fast. Kveik is famous for conditioning fast.

Cool! I think you'll like it. Kveik is a weird yeast. Just underpitch at 40degrees. Then let it ride. Beer should be finished fermenting in 2-3 days. Then cold crash. Some are reporting unclear beers with Voss. Please share results

Bottling Is enough of a chore already... Can't imagine standing there with a syringe into each and every bottle... What, it takes like 5 minutes? Nope... Not doing it. Hehe

I would never buy the pressure kit with two plastic caps. In Norway they sell the kits with the stainless ones. My experience with the plastic ones is not good.

Hi. It's what I do. But be careful not to splash your beer. You don't want any o2 in your beer. How much sugar you use is depending on style, but I almost always just 6g/liter. So in your case heat up a little water and add 120g of sugar. Don't forget to stir it. Again without splashing. Just to...

10....9...8....7....6....5...4....3....2...1...and we have LIFTOFF! May God have mercy on your soul. :D

Yes you can. Just don't over do it. :D 200-300g should be your max

Sounds cool! Keep us posted :D

Hmmm. I seem to be the only one that likes the hop spider :D I have a large one and a bazooka filter at the bottom. It works great.

Thanks, it's Barry's favourite :D

Not really. If you pitch at 40 and just let it ride. It will finish the beer before cooling down. And even if it does go to like 28 degrees it's not a bad thing. Just makes a cleaner beer. Lager like

There are two three things that make me like the fermzilla better. 1. It's to big, 35 liters when you're making 20liter something batches is a lot of head space. It's wastes more co2. 2. It's hard to clean. The hole is to small and the body to long. 3. The seal is harder to achieve. I have to...

It'll probably turn out fine. Could be some esters there in the beer thats not supposed to be there but. It'll be beer

Yeah. You should keep the temps at the lower end of what the yeast packet says. Remember that yeast also produces heat when fermenting. So even if you are at 22 degrees, inside the barrel it's actually sitting at 25-26. That's no good. Consider trying Kveik yeast. It's a beast, and loooves to be...
