To make it easer to tell which post is which remember GREY, GAS, GASH. the post has a gash on the side. And the oring is grey, to match the disconnect.
Also, the larger keyring on the floating diptube is designed to have the thermo well go through it. It keeps the pickup from collecting the yeast that gathers on the side of the fermenter during transfer.
Ohhhh that actually makes a lot of sense about the key ring! Great tip definitely going to do that now! Haha
Glad to see you guys back, assuming the GABS hangover was nasty haha, also great to see the tech videos!
I think brewing Lager under pressure is the only way to go. I have the all rounder, I hook the gas post to the keg I will be serving from to purge it during the ferment, I use gravity and the pressure of the CO2 in the fermenter to push the beer into the keg because the beer displaces the gas which pushes more beer into the keg, as long as tyhe keg is below the fermenter, it's slower but external gas free. it's also partially carbonated (I set my spunding valve to about 12ish psi). I actually have the float attached to the... non tube end(?) of the floating dip tube filter which seems to work really well
Yeah it’s a great little unit! And totally agree we have since refilled it and have a lager fermenting under pressure now, so little hint for one of our next brewdays to be released on the channel ;)
@@flyingwombattv very nice, there's not a lot of content around pressure fermentation, I'm surprised too given how amazing it can be... I know it suppresses esters, making for a cleaner ferment but I don't know if that would also apply to hops or if it would enhance it because the oils aren't escaping with the CO2
Sweet was just looking at getting one of these. Will be getting one now for sure.
Can’t recommend it enough mate! Great value for money
...and you can serve straight from the vessel itself if you don't have a keg!
Absolutely true! Super useful when all your taps are already full!
Well done. You have a new subscriber.
Cheers dude glad to have you along for the journey!
I’m actually impressed with the amount of pressure that can handle. There are a lot of more expensive fermenters that top out at 15 psi.
Yeah it’s a pretty fantastic little unit for it’s price!
im using a fermzilla atm, and considering ditching it for something like this without the stupid jar at the bottom, its more of a hastle than its worth, does the keg king gear use the same posts as corney kegs do? i really do like the look of the lid of this a bit better than the kegland gear
Yep absolutely uses keg posts. Makes this thing so freakin easy to transfer out into the keg, as you saw in the vid I literally just had to connect the liquid posts and pump some gas in and transfer was done! Clean up was super easy too
@@flyingwombattv what i meant by the same posts is that i have left over posts from when i reconditioned some used kegs, and they look to be the same, i still have some spares so would be nice if i could use the spares on this too
problem is you can't buy the tank alone for replacement after some years... Nobody sells it.
After a few years you’re probs better off replacing the whole thing anyway
Hi guys, just made a biggie juice clone in one of these fermenters, what pressure would you suggest to set the fermenter to?
Niiice! Care to share the recipe? And I’d say go with minimum to zero pressure ferment for primary fermentation for a NEIPA, pressure fermenting reduces esterrification by the yeast and makes a “cleaner” finish which you don’t rlly want with a NEIPA, but after you do your dry hop then I’d go straight up to 15 psi to trap all that hoppy goodness and aromas in the beer!
@@flyingwombattv thanks for the advice
Cheers for the link bloody alcoholic 😂👌🏼
