For some reason I always enjoy seeing a bit about how and where people live. Looks like a nice neighborhood.
Thanks for the vid Gash. We would totally agree we need to get some instructions for this one. Really appreciate the review!
Got one of these last week and it works a treat 👍
Definitely on my bucket list, excuse the pun! Great video, I really enjoy your work. I'm just about to return to brewing after a ten-year hiatus. I can't believe how much has changed. I'm going to use a Fermzilla all-rounder, brew under pressure, and go straight to keg, and then to 5 and 2 litre mini kegs.
I've been thinking of building my new keg cleaner and then this popped up. I found it as a good deal here in the states so I figure why not. It's gotta be better than what I've been doing to clean my kegs, which is very manual work. I just picked up one of these this week and all I can say is WOW! Only 10 minutes with ABW to clean the keg, another 5-10 minutes on rinse, and my once really nasty looking keg is now sparkling clean like new inside. I'm so glad I found your review, so I could figure out how to put this together too, since it came with no instructions. Already very happy with my purchase. Thanks for putting this together! Super helpful! Cheers!
Your videos are the best. Thanks for taking the trouble to make them for us.
No worries Clive, cheers mate!
that actually worked better than i expected it to, nice review
Excellent review Gav. I just checked the price and I think it is great value. Thanks for sharing, cheers
Cheers Keith, thanks for watching mate
This is on my to get list for sure.
I've been waiting to see how well this would clean.
Awesome review Gash.🍻
Did much better than I expected! Cheers mate
Looks like a good product. I am going to add this one to my list.
Cheers Gash. Looks great!!
Cheers Stass, worked better than I thought!
Great!
Been looking at those!
Cheers Jim thanks for taking a look
Did a great job! I would love to modify it to wash/sani a bunch of bottles in batches.
That would certainly take a lot of time and elbow grease out of the process.
Very keen for these to come back in stock.
you could make a rack out of pvc for bottles and plumb it in to the pump. id use a sumbmirsable sump or utility pump for higher flow rates
Great video. Get well soon mate. Cheers
Cheers mate!
Wery, wery good!
Just got one - came here to see how to assemble it :)
I just bought this and there were no instruction so thank you. When I have a ?? I go to your channel first. Home brewing in Canada
Picked one up on Wednesday night.... already washed 2 kegs and am now doing my 3 plastic fermenters...... only thing in my view is you need a deeper bucket so you can put the lid on while all set up...... Also will look to replace the top piece with a spray ball sometime down the track I think..... Good to be able to put on and walk away for 15 mins while it cleans the kegs....
Wanna make sure its dry or it'll mould up! Cheers mate! Thanks for taking a look
Good stuff 👍🍻
Cheers mate thanks for watching
Good review Gavo!
Cheers mate! Kacccccceeooooooooo
@@HomeBrewNetwork LOL... ;). Cheers ;-)!
Nice Vid as usual Gash. So you wouldn't give it a wipe/scrub with a sponge after as well?
Gash I've made something similar and have a CIP Ball on the end. Works well
Awesome, I didnt think the cap with a hole would do much, but it seems to do ok, cheers mate!
Ótimo para lavagem e sanitização
Yes, works well, Cheers!
She's a wild bit of gear, Gash.
Thank's for this excellent filmed and edited video ... one question though, I've got a 30ltr open mouth (35cm) fermenter with a flat bottom. I'd have to do some alteration to fit it onto the blaster but what bothers me more is that when the water blast hit the flat bottom it prolly wouldn't run down the sides and cover all surfaces? What's your experience/opinion.
Thanks mate
You have a true 'Beer Garden'.
Smells like one too lol Cheers!
Neat! How much does one of these run?
Forget the bucket blaster, I need some of those white flippy flops like my man Gash has
5 bucks from Aldi hahaha. I normally dont wear any but those rocks hurt your feet lol Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork safety first! Great video as always, cheers from California friend!
Just bought one.
Cheers sitting duck! Thanks for watching
@@HomeBrewNetwork mate you need to organize a code to use on kegland for your channel.
@@mesittingduck I can't get discounts or anything, but using my links lets them know the sales come from me and they give me credit towards their things, that's about all I can do. Cheers
Wow!that is awesome,just what I need...When are they coming to America?or when are you going to send me one Gash LOL
Hey gav, how much Stella oxy do u use in 10l in the bucket
I wonder how it performs with the 60 AR or 55 FZ.. Would have thought a sprayball at the end would improve the cleaning even more..
not sure mate, it had a far bit of kick. Cheers!
how often du you fully disassemble your fermzilla to clean? ie the seal between fermenter and bfly valve etc?
i have the 60 so its just so hard to get apart...
Rarely, my original fermentasaurus has never been apart since I assembled it. I've pulled apart my fermzilla once, was only because I saw people were having troubles and I wanted to see if I could get it apart. Cheers!
Mine arrived today (UK), can't wait to try it tonight after work. Do you still use yours Gav? Have you tried it on any of your kettles?
I use it all the time, umm not on my kettles but no reason I couldnt.. but on all my fermenting and kegs for sure, hasnt been one time I havent used it since i got it.
@@HomeBrewNetwork Excellent thank you :)
Screw a CIP spray ball on that rig and you have an aggressive descaler
Might give it a go! Cheers mate!
very nice. Can I ask what size is the pump thanks
I’m not at hone till next week sorry, cheers but its here bit.ly/BucketBlaster cheers
@@HomeBrewNetwork Thanks
@@HomeBrewNetwork thanks for the info
Yeah, a foaming cleaner is probably a bad idea. I used starsan with my fastwasher 24 and the foam got a bit insane, but more importantly the pump can't build up enough pressure because of it. Do you know of a good alternative for sanitizing bottles?
Starsan is a sanitizer not a cleaner/detergent. Try using PBW or oxiclean free
@@dreess8085 Yes, I got the cleaner part covered, but I'm looking for a good sanitizer alternative that's non foaming.
5 Star also make saniclean which is like the no foaming version of star san, low foaming. Also Iodophor, and even sodium percarbonate will work but it takes a lot longer to sanitise. Cheers!
Is it true that Fermizallas have an “expiration date” of two years and after that you should not use under pressure? have you been using yours for pressurized fermentations for more than 2 years without any issues? Thanks for the great videos!
It is true, that's how long the pressure tested quantification lasts, the clear plastic fermentation part is cheap and 2 yearly replacement is easier than getting it professionally tested again
Its just law and safety, they do sell a pressure test kit if you want one. I have used mine past 2 years yes. Cheers!
The Home Brew Network thanks much. Cheers
Don't think the missus would be happy with you cutting beer line on the dining table ;)
shhhhhhh she would go feral lol
I can clean my keg and fermentor in 5 minutes. White scrubbie pad and a little oxiclean. Done.
My arm cant fit in a keg or a fermentasaurus, otherwise yeah! Cheers!
Great work gash. Do you think they would be OK cleaning 50 litre kegs? Happy brewing 👍
looks like the DIY DrHans cleaner
you mean a bucket and a pump :)
it is :)
Ive noticed that since ordered direct from kegland they dont give any instructions lol
All instructions are on their website, click more information on the product page, most companies do it these days, you know save the trees or whatever. Cheers!
Not on the Veneer table..
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you should see the bits I cut out lol
@@HomeBrewNetwork I shudder to think..
Back lawn, hose and a chux. Not only is that cheaper but it's faster. 10mins? Really?
Waste of money in my book. Good luck to ya.
It’s gold for kegs, kegmenters and fermenters you can’t get your arm in, I had reservations but after using it for years I’ll never be without one. Cheers
