Use the fermentation off gas to purge your kegs. You'll save a lot on co2 refills
I have a spike conical that I bought about 4 years ago. I love the thing and it still looks fancy and shiny. I have been looking at something like the all rounder as a second fermenter. The fact that it is relatively cheap and is pressure capable are huge selling points for me.
One piece of advice is to trim the tubing of the floating dip tube to be just barely long enough to reach the bottom of the fermenter. My first attempt at pressure transfer resulted in the tube getting stuck on the side of the fermenter and a whole lot of frustration as I had to open the lid to get it unstuck.
Definitely had that happen in the past and surprisingly it was with the trimmed dip tube. I left this one long just to see if it gets stuck as well, my guess is it will eventually get stuck too 🤦🏻♂️ I’ve got that filter on the end which has 3 spots to hook the float up too. I’ve got it in the middle now but if I move it to the front I think it will have less chance of getting stuck. Cheers 🍻
Had the same problem a few times. Just sloshing it around freed it up. But then i had to wait for everything to settle out to finish the transfer.
Another solution is adding the Kegland filter basket onto the dip tube with a food safe magnet inside of the basket. If the dip tube gets stuck or I want to submerge it below anything floating at the surface I place another magnet on the outside to direct the floating dip tube to where I need it. Been doing this for 2 years now works great and saves a lot of hassle when transferring.
Love my All Rounder. It changed everything for me too.
I found closed transfers are easier and less messy when the keg and fermenter are at equal pressures. I set the fermenter a little higher up than the keg and let gravity help. There is a line going from my keg-in to fermenter-in. As beer from the fermenter displaces the keg CO2, the CO2 goes back into the fermenter. When the keg is full, there's no beer coming out of the spunding valve and on the floor. Cheers! 🍻
Hopefully once you master this recipe, you'll share it again.
Pie Grande Ale. Cheers from Phoenix, AZ 🍺🍻
If he shares it and you brew it, I'd be happy to taste test it. 😂
A great replacement for that ikea thing you use to remove the sanitizer from the tubing is Carbonation and Line Cleaning Ball Lock Quick Disconnect (QD) Cap - Red Plastic from kegland, it clicks into ball lock and then is easy to remove.
Oh yeah!!! Didn’t think of that!!! Thanks and Happy New year 🍻
Totally agree. I have a few of each one. On another note, those Kegland disconnects are universal.
Couldn't agree more! I really hated fermenting in buckets. The All Rounder is affordable and really made my brewing easier!
I bought an all rounder thanks to your videos. Love it so far. A tip for the stand, I use painters tape to attach to the fermenter keeps it from falling or the need for the awkward carry.
Nice!!! Actually got the straps with this new one but haven’t put them on yet 🤦🏻♂️ guess I’m just used to the old way 🤣 cheers 🍻
I use an all rounder with a blichman beer gun to bottle condition. If i add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar to each bottle, I can purge with co2 and fill from the fermenter. This might seem strange that I would bottle condition while owning kegging equipment, but i can bottle ferment and gift NE IPAs without any oxidation. I still bottle because it’s easier to bring places.
The easiest way to clean bottles is by letting them sit in PBW overnight. The next day, i use a bottle washer connected to my sink and let them dry on a bottle tree. I can get dozens of batches with a bottle of co2 and the beer is indistinguishable from keg.
Totally easier to bring places!! I’ve been having to bottle from the keg lately and it’s kind of a pain. I’ll have to give your way a shot!!! Thanks for sharing, cheers 🍻
Growlers are an easy option too.
I use mini kegs to take it places unless I'm giving it away. Bottles are more work than I want.
Awesome Video! Definitely picking this up on More Beer. I have a Sankey Keg but with a couple of ball lock adapters I should be able to make this work with my keg. As I was watching this video, I shopped around for everything I need to make this work and I AM EXCITED! Thanks again!
Love the all rounder! Can't recommend the hop bong enough.
Kegland is king when it comes to cool and still useful products! Looking forward to more amazing content in 2024
Thanks Trent!!! Happy Brew Year!!!
I bought a fermentasaurus a while ago and I’ve been hooked on them since. Upgraded to conical fermzillas
Yeah I’d like to check those out too. I believe they are too tall to fit in my chest freezer/fermentation chamber. I’ll have to check out the dimensions first, cheers 🍻
Definitely my favorite fermenter. Never thought to put the spunding valve on the keg during transfer. Will try that in a couple days.
Great vid! I’m rocking two allrounders, ferment under pressure at 25-35c depending on the yeast, and pressure transfer to kegs for an O2 free experience. I usually have a Kveik yeast in one and a lager 🍺 yeast in the other. I don’t clean the fermenters between batches (unless I dry hop)- just pitch straight onto the yeast cake. Usually get 4 or 5 batches out of a packet of yeast. Start with a light colour beer and move to darker or make a DIPA with a big dry hop as the last batch and then clean and start the cycle again. Anyway, the hop bong is cool! Might have to hook one of those up. Thanks for the vid!
Nice!!! Sounds like you’ve got it dialed in!!! I’ve re used yeast a few times like that! Super easy and really helps get the yeast strong for larger beers too!!! Cheers 🍻
I love my all rounder so much I Got a 2nd one and don't even use a Corny Key much anymore. I did get a smaller similar fermenter from Anvil on black friday that I am itching to try.
Yeah I guess the shape of the all rounder is a slight issue. Id love to be able to fit 2 inside of my fermentation chamber!!!! Cheers 🍻
I do pretty much the same thing but with 6 gallon Torpedo kegs, and serve straight out of them! Haven’t had any sort of autolysis issues or anything, even after months. I usually do a full spund at the end of fermentation to get 100% carbonation, usually around 30psi, never have had yeast get mad at me for it. If I want a fermenter back (I have two of the kegs) I usually will just can directly from the fermenter keg with my beer gun, easy peasy!
Btw beard all day! Cheers and happy new year to you and yours!
I want to check out those torpedo kegs!!! Cheers 🍻 Happy New Year!!!
All rounder is great but the fermzilla conical is where it’s at. The ability to dump trub is a game changer. I also hook up the co2 at the bottom rouse the hops as well as help carbonate.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Kegland products. There’s no turning back now. Love the videos Mate. Cheers 🍻
Looks awesome! I love being able to see what is going on in my fermenter, that's why i have never pulled the trigger on a stainless fermenter. I love the hop charge option! 🍻
Happy New Years Dennis 🍻
Great Australian invention 😊😊😊
For sure!!!! Cheers 🍻
I had no idea that Kegland had a hop bong for the all rounder. I had been trying to puzzle out how to dry hop using mine (magnets and hop bags). I’ve got to find me one of those!
You can get them from Kegland or I believe Morebeer carries all the Kegland stuff in the US.
Recently learnt that there are 3 positions on the dip tube filter to attach the float to, in case there are issues with clogging due to hops debris
I love my fermzilla all rounder, it was by far the easiest way to get into pressure fermentation. Nice addition with the hop bong, definitely makes dry hopping easier in the fermzilla. Cheers 🍻
Cheers 🍻
Way to showcase some crisp new gear and a cool hop that's also a bit obscure! Love that Sasquatch originated in BC, Canada which is where I'm from. Cheers mate!
Thanks!!! I’m really digging the floral notes I get from it! Cheers 🍻
Nice
You must have a good Christmas and a happy New Year.
Cheers from Norway
Cheers and Happy New Year 🍻
I'd love the ability to see fermentation activity, the only downside of fermenting in 8gal keg
Just finished up my first fermentation with the all rounder and my only major gripes: it's a pain to get the top off once you unscrew it and secondly just cleaning it can be a bit awkward if you don't have the stand handy or else that bad boy will roll around. Otherwise, it's a very cool product and I am excited for future brews. Also looking to add that hop bong for dry hopping too! Glad to see you like it
Totally agree! Get a large rubber strap wrench!!! It’ll make getting the lid off and on way easier!!!

Great video brother! I LOVE my All Rounder and couldn’t agree with you more about how it changed the way I brew! Cheers 🍻
My Fermzilla All Rounder Brother!!! Can’t remember if you’ve got the hop bong or not? It’s pretty rad!!!
@@ElementaryBrewingCo Man I don’t have it…currently lol. Still using the hopbag/magnet method. But yours is the smoothest action I’ve seen so far and has me thinking!
Thanks teach! now I need to go get me one. Appreciate your videos. Happy Holidays my man...
Thanks dude!!! Your beers have been looking crispy and the gram dude!!!
Great video and always beard
Hmm... Sasquatch. Haven't heard about those hops until now.
A pressure fermenter and kegs really are game changers. A hop dropper really ups the game too for those wonderfully hoppy west coast IPA's that need a dry hop addition after fermentation has finished.
Happy New Year Brian!
Happy New Year 🎊 🍻
Keep the beard. The thing about the stache is that the gold standard is Tom Selleck. That stache is a national treasure.
Hawaii 5-O baby!!! Cheers 🍻
Agreed on a clear plastic pressurized fermenter. I have the Anvil one. If you have 2 of them you can transfer off the yeast into the other fermenter that has your dry hop dose, O2 free. I use the plunger part of a syringe to depress my quick connects. Always beard haha!
Beard 4 Life 🍻🍻🍻
I love my All Rounder, but I have a pressure loss issue with mine I have to figure out. The only two cons for me are how wide vs tall the All Rounder is and I'm not crazy about its stand either. I wished they were more like the Fermonsters as far as size goes. Besides that, very solid fermenter. I do like that hop bong. May have to add that.
2:15 - HEY! That's Hop abuse!!!
🤣😅😂👍🍻
🤣🤣 I lost a few 🍻 Cheers!!!
s-AAAA-squatch. So grating to hear him say it wrong
Okay, I want this fermenter now:) I still do not pressure transfer. Beard for the win.
It’s by far the most affordable pressurized fermenter out there. And I love to see fermentation happening!!! So for me the negative of needing to replace it every few years is worth it based on all the other positives!!! Cheers 🍻
Something I've been doing allot of is keeping my transfer line in the keezer and using the PET bottles with a carb cap. Clean and sanitize my bottle, purge with CO2 by loosening and tightening the lid then hooking up my transfer line for filling the same way. Presto, I've got a beer I can take to share with friends for sampling. I love my all-rounder. I have the Williams Warn counter pressure bottle filler and have filled bottles right out of the all-rounder. Using the floating dip tube with filter on the end keeps it from clogging the poppits. I also bought the oxbar PET kegs from kegland that come with cap with liquid and gas posts. I think they are around 2 gallons. It's so easy to transfer to them. They are the cheapest kegs you can find. Replacement bottle only is like $10. Buy the starter kit that has the post set up first the an extra bottle. All rounders are so versatile and kegland makes a lot of great products that the average person can afford. Cheers to you and Happy New Year.🍻.. Beard
Thanks!!! I need to check out those kegs for sure! The other thing I got that I’m super impressed with is the duotight components!!! So easy!!! Can’t believe I waited this long to try them 🤣 Cheers 🍻
@@ElementaryBrewingCo Williams brewing has the starter kit for $40.
I also brewed a beer with Sasquatch hops, a SMaSH or SMaSHsquatch if you will. Used lutra kviek, it came out good but kind of boring. I will definitely try it in other beers with additional hops but using it on its own is definitely not the way to go.
Yeah worked great with the Mosaic and Citra. Just brewed a light lager yesterday and only used the squatch in it so bummer to hear about it being boring, cheers 🍻
@@ElementaryBrewingCo maybe you won’t think it was as boring as I did! I mean it’s not a bad beer by any means just not one I’m excited for.
I saw the Bigfoot hops, but then I saw the shipping cost and decided I could wait for some reviews
Definitely more floral than described on the website but they did pair well with the Galaxy and Mosaic!!! Cheers 🍻
Subbed! Can’t beat the all rounder 👌also cool hoodies where can I get one ?😎
Thanks!!! And I love hoodies!!! Unfortunately these are just my run of the mill store bought hoodies 🤣 well, 1 from Sierra Nevada, 1 from a surf shop on the central coast in CA, and 1 from by brother in laws plumbing company, so unfortunately no links 🤣 Cheers 🍻
Pressurized fermentation is certainly amazing! How do you know when to stop the keg transfer, just monitor the liquid level change in the fermenter?
Well, you can do it by weight but I don’t have a large scale. If you cold crash and get the beer nice and cold when you transfer to a keg you will see the condensation form where the level is in the keg. So that’s what I keep an eye on. Also, if I’ve got 5.5gallons in fermenter I just know when it get down to the bottom I know I’ve got half gallon of trub so it’ll fit. Cheers 🍻
Lovely beer, would you mind share your brewfather recipe?
How is your gout going mate?
Gout is good thanks for checking in!!!
Here’s the recipe link!!!

Did you ever continue dip hopping? Since your first video about it I conpletely replaced dry hopping with dip hopping, to great success.
Funny you should ask! I’m planning a few more dip hopped batches right now! I really enjoyed the way those beers came out and I’d like to do some more experiments!!! Cheers 🍻
@@ElementaryBrewingCo for me the results have been really good, and the process for someone who ferments in kegs is amazing. I have floating dip tubes in there which means I don't even open the kegs after yeast pitch anymore. It makes it really "set and forget".
Great video!
So you ferment. Is that under pressure.
And, after fermentation you put it into a keg. Are you force carbonating?
Thanks! I will usually ferment it without pressure to start then I add the spunding valve and ferment it under pressure towards the end of fermentation. That way it starts to carbonate on its own a little first, then I transfer to keg and force carbonate, cheers 🍻
I’ve been looking at these. I have a couple of questions: do you take gravity readings after fermentation? If so does the carbonation affect the reading? Does fermenting under pressure really make the beer finish faster?
And btw, beard.
So yes you will need to de gas your sample to get rid of the carbonation. You can either just let it sit out or you can just pour it back and forth from 1 cup to another and that’ll knock the carbonation out pretty quickly. I don’t really think fermenting under pressure is necessarily quicker. If you ferment warmer and use pressure then yes it will be quicker. I usually don’t ferment under pressure to start but wait until the beer is mostly finished. It really speeds up the carbonation process so once the beer is done fermenting and I get it to a keg it’s mostly ready to drink after a few days conditioning in a keg. I usually don’t quick carb and just set it at serving pressure and it’s ready to drink in a day or 2. Cheers 🍻

Hey there, revisiting this video. Considering getting the all rounder for pressurized lager fermentations. However, I brew 3 gallon batches and don’t have the ability to scale up (nor the desire to do so). Would you recommend this for smaller batches like 3 gallons?
Great question! I’ve only made a few smaller batches with mine and have had no issues. However, I’ve heard there can be some negative side effects to large amounts of headspace. I’m really not sure if there’s any truth to them or not as I’ve never experienced them myself but it would be something to look into. That being said there are so many positives to the all rounder that I would have to think it’s a great choice! And at the end of the day it is by far the cheapest pressure fermenter out there so I think it would be worth at least giving it a shot. I use the anvil 4 gallon bucket fermenter for my small batches now and do like it, but it is not pressure capable which is a bit of a bummer but you can still do low oxygen transfers if you use a closed loop when transferring. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the quick response! I also had some worries about the large amount of headspace. I use the 4.5 gallon Anvil bucket fermenter as well and do the closed loop transfers, and never really had oxidation issues. I was mostly just interested in brewing faster (and better?) lagers.
I really don't like plastic fermenters. I bought a Fermzilla tri-conical fermenter, used it once, and then couldn't get rid of it fast enough. They are a pain in the neck to clean, and the fit and finish is terrible. I will take my stainless steel Spike Brewing Flex+ fermenters over these any day.
I’d love to get my hands on the Spike Flex plus!!! Seems like it’s got everything I would want except for the ability to see fermentation! Cheers 🍻
@@ElementaryBrewingCo For me being able to see what is going on in the fermenter is less important than monitoring the specific gravity during fermentation. So I have a pair of Tilt 2 hydrometers, one for each fermenter, that takes periodic gravity readings and logs them to a file. The mobile app then sends the logs to me via email. High tech brewing. Who knew? Lol.
@@CrazyAboutVinylRecords Nice! I got a couple of the RAPT Pills but can get them to pair with my WiFi. Hopefully I can figure it out! Then I’ll be able to monitor fermentation at all times too. I definitely like the tech stuff too 🤣
I have one of these and have issues with the plastic gas and liquid post’s. They leak gas and the poppet valves are too short, meaning I have to hold pressure down on the liquid post when transferring beer into a keg. Getting the lid off can also be an effort.
The fermentersaurus was easier to use but has that terrible chrome plated butterfly valve.
Future brews will be in the old fashioned 30Litre airlock fermenter. Cheers 🍻
I think I just watched an 8 minute ad
