Hot wort to fermenter?

[Rodcx500z]

Well both of mine had stress marks, they were were never used to dispence nor were they ever over 8psi, don't get me wrong i loved them but i was not prepared to have 20 odd litres of wort all over the floor

Morning all, proper newbie question…

I’m thinking about moving on from extract kits to my first mini-mash. Been looking at TMM recipes/kits and I have a stupid question!

The recipe calls for moving the hot wort from the pan to the fermenter post boil - will that be safe to do so? I envisage boiling wort melting a hole through the bottom of my (plastic) fermentation vessel… or at least disfiguring it in some way?! Am I being overly paranoid, or should I actually allow the wort to cool somewhat before transferring?

Thanks in advance!

I'd be inclined to treat the wort like the hot water to mix your LME or DME? As you would with a full extract kit.

I was wondering how long they remain pressure rated for - but two years seems a tad short? I guess it depends on how frequently you brew - but still?!

I would think that so long as you maintain a medium to low pressure (5-10psi perhaps?) then they should last for a long long time, no? I shouldn’t think the yeast would perform well under much more pressure at any rate?

Really glad I mentioned the Fermzilla now! Learning a lot more than set out to, thanks again community!

I think they recommend that you pressure test them at 2 years... I've got one that's about 4 years old, and I still pressure ferment at 10psi with no issue. I DO pressure test every 6 months or so, just fill up with water and pressurise (to 25psi in my case) and good to go.
Also tests the various seals etc are doing their job.
