Fermzilla / Fermentasaurus questions + checkout my finished home bar

[MikeAdz]

Hi all,

I finally got my keezer setup in my newly built home bar and am loving it! Posted a photo below of my bar.

I brewed a 5gal batch of beer and 5gal batch of cider and am serving them up, problem is they are going too fast lol so I need to brew some more ASAP.

I am just brewing in the big fermentation buckets but was wondering if I can streamline and speed up the process a little by getting myself a fermzilla or fermentasuarus..
does anyone have experience with either?
Are they the same thing made by the same company, just one is an upgrade on the other?
What exactly is the benefits of them?

cheers!

Bar is looking good. Fermentasaurus or Fermzilla will not speed up production of beer, there are no shortcuts in making good beer. Try and brew more regularly or get the wife out of the way and double up on your brew day.

Cheers, what is their purpose then? Is it just to make life a little easier?

The purpose of pressure fermenting is to start carbonation towards the end of fermentation, I will say that the natural carbonation is by far better than forced carbonation.
Please read how it all started before it got misconstrued.

I see. Thanks for the info! Seems like having all the yeast collect in the pot at the bottom will save some time with racking to another vessel?

Some Kveik yeasts can smash out beers really quickly. I did a porter with Yeast Bay Voss, pitched Wednesday and I was drinking if Monday.

I did it in my fermzilla at 10psi which speed up the carbonation a bit
