I'll see if some one will send me one, but can't promise anything. It looks exactly the same except for the bottom of course. So it's capable of all the same things as this one. Cheers Jordan!
Great video as ever. Do you know how to bottle from the All Rounder? I am thinking about investing, I don't really want to start fermenting under pressure, I'm only one brew in so don't want to over complicate things. I'd add Dextrose to the bottles but would just need a way to syphon the beer out safely. I was wondering if the float attached to a longer section of silicon with a bottling stick at the end would work? Many thanks
It looks like a useful bit of kit. If they do a high temp version I'll be getting one. Otherwise, I'll make do with my Fermentasaurus snub nose. Haven't checked their website recently to see if the high temp options are available. Nice video mate Cheers
If that fan is a sleeve bearing fan, you could swap a computer ball bearing fan in for it - it would last for years. You can also lubricate a sleeve bearing fan with dry silicone spray. It will buy you some time. Do you think the all rounder has advantages over the snub nose version? Thanks again - really great video.
Hi Gash yet another great vid. In your opinion after having the fermzilla and all rounder would most people be better off using the all rounder or to put it another way, does the extra features on the Fermzilla make it the better buy for most home brewers?
You really don’t need the collection jar as you said you can just pour the yeast into a jar. If you want to dry hop without adding oxygen you can use magnets, put the bag in when you pitch yeast and hang it by magnets above the wort. Pull the magnet up and down to introduce and take out the hops. I have the older snub nose version and really see no reason to upgrade to the collection jar version. If I want a second fermenter I think I will just buy one of these.
morse yeah that works too mate, I have had bad experiences with getting my poppets gunked up with hop matter though, thats a big resin why I do the magnet in a bag dryhop (and to stop grass taste) The poppets on my unit are a pain in the ass to get on/off to clean out. I like your idea though if you had a carbonation cap you could transfer the yeast into a de-oxygenated and sanitised PET bottle for longer term storage. Fill bottle with sanitiser, turn upside, push co2 in until you hear co2 come out and fill with trub/yeast.
Have you tried any of the keg king pressure fermenters? I use a fermzilla but have been thinking about an all-rounder but I've just seen keg king are releasing the Apollo 30l conical with a bigger lid. I've watched loads of your videos and would love to know your opinion . 👍👍
Yes I have, they changed a few a things a few years ago, and wouldnt send me anything unless it was a scripted review, so I havent been comfortable with that. You'll find the first fermentasaurus review and I used it a few times, but that small opening was a nightmare, it seems they've made it bigger finally, the very disappointing thing about the video review of the apolla is that they just cant help themselves but have a go at competitors, why couldnt they just review the product with out being childish. I'm interested to have a look at one though. Cheers!
@@HomeBrewNetwork Thanks for your feedback, and I do agree with you about the childish digs at the competition. If they could they learn from each other they will develop better products and everyone is a winner ! Looking at their promotional video for the Apollo, the handles at top look like a weak point. I certainly wouldn't lift a full one but those ! Thanks again keep up the good work.
@@davec4955 yes they do look a bit weak, and the funny thing, he mentioned the straps obviously having a go at Kegland, but unless they connect that fermenter to the stand you wont be able to move it without some form of strapping or whatever, not that you need it if you're not moving it around, but thats all it was for in the fermzilla all rounder, you didnt need it unless you were planning on moving it around. Cheers!
Gday gash, great videos mate, very helpful and clear communication. I’ve used the AR now for a few brews and have found that when brewing under pressure at 8psi, when I’ve bottled direct from AR I’ve had carb issues, even when adding a carb drop. I thought if anything it would be over carbed, but once I’ve conditioned for 2 weeks at 20c, the beer is pretty much flat. Not sure why?
That doesnt sound right, under pressure at 8psi it wont be carbed, it will be very very slightly, if you're carbing in it, to bottle from it without adding sugars you'll need to cold crash it and have a good 12psi on it at least, for probably near a week. Or you can up the ferment pressure to maybe 15psi, and on cold crash attach gas to keep it around that 12-15psi for a day or two and it'll be carbed. Since you're bottling I'm not sure on what equipment you have there. If you dont have the gas set up, you can still ferment under pressure stay in the low range, at end of ferment let most of the pressure out, do that for a day or two, and the beer will be virtually flat, bottle as usual with 2 drops. I dont know where you live but its winter too here so carbing can take a while, have you warmed some bottles up for a week or something? Cheers!
The Home Brew Network cheers mate, I’m in country Victoria so similar weather to Melbourne. Some good options there and explanations make sense. Just using a bottling wand connected to the AR liquid post and works fine for me to fill bottle from bottom up. Bottling into room temp bottles then straight inside in a foam box to sit at 20c.
Hi Gash just got mine with pressure kit any chance you could do a fwk review in it as that's all I use..nice and simple All Inn fwk's out of Qld and do an enclosed pressure transfer to keg...pretty please lol
I dont have the money to buy one mate sorry, but the enclosed transfer will be the same as a normal Fermzilla, I've got two videos on that. Let me know if you need anymore info. Cheers! ua-cam.com/video/8xJq_moF1Uk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/EglGwVB2yxU/v-deo.html
@@HomeBrewNetwork Hey mate, Do you rate the Keg Land kegerators? Have they been reliable for you? I noticed you mentioned fan replacement. Is the series x worth the upgrade from the series 4?
Fan replacement was on the series 3, series 4 has been good so far, and series x I only got yesterday! So can't say much, Im doing a video for it, cheers!
G'day gash just curious if kegland gave these to review? I have noticed that other channels will state whether they purchased them or not. In looking forward to hearing about the kegarator. Will probably be in the market for a new one when I get back into brewing.
I purchased these using vouchers I earned from affiliate links, I either give them away as prizes on my live broadcast or buy things for review. If they are sent to me for free, for review I'll always mention it, but fact is I dont work for them and I would achieve nothing by giving fake reviews. Cheers Jamie!
ummm which part do you mean? Sure the float and tube will work, the quick disconnects, while the same disconnect fitting they are attached very differently. So you still need to get some carb caps. Cheers!
@@mesittingduck The carb caps fit this yes, you said fermentasaurus, thats whole different ball game, but in the fermzilla world nearly everything is interchangeable
Yeah mate hahaha, lots of it leaving, fermentasaurus is dead and the old fridge, all going out! I wish I had a garage big enough , just renting here.. Need to win the lottery! woot! Cheers Richard!
Just got my 1st Firmzilla All Rounder
Can't wait to put it to use
Good luck mate!
Love this thing, it's perfect for my bar fridge fermentation chamber and it does everything you need it to without the extra hassle.
Great size isnt it! Cheers!
Thanks mate this was a great video. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it, Cheers!
Took the bait!!! At last bought one...answered below on my other channel doooo! 😚 Brian D.
Can't wait until they are back in stock.... looking forward to giving some hazys a try under pressure with no oxygen transfers
Great video thanks mate! Will there be any more videos to come with the all rounder? Maybe see how it goes through a brew? Also dry hopping? Thanks!
Thanks Gash
Thanks gash, could you do a review on the fermzilla flat bottom and capabilities??? Thanks mate
I'll see if some one will send me one, but can't promise anything. It looks exactly the same except for the bottom of course. So it's capable of all the same things as this one. Cheers Jordan!

Another quality video gash, any idea when these might be coming to the states? Cheers🍻
I dont off the top of my head, but I can ask, they usually are onto things pretty quick these days. Cheers John, thanks mate!
It looks like a useful bit of kit. If they do a high temp version I'll be getting one.
Otherwise, I'll make do with my Fermentasaurus snub nose.
Haven't checked their website recently to see if the high temp options are available.
Nice video mate
Cheers
I havent heard or seen, but i dont know everything lol Not sure they are yet! Cheers Gerry!
This is what I am after Gash! I have to do some upgrade slowly for sure and that Pilsner looks GOOD!!! Cheers for heads up mate!!
No worries at all mate, thanks for watching!
Nice vid Gash. Looks like a good size fermenter for brewing under pressure. Cheers 🤘
Cheers Parko!

I havent had a snub nose in my hands but they dont look much different, I think this one is shorter, but not confirmed. Cheers!
Hi Gash yet another great vid. In your opinion after having the fermzilla and all rounder would most people be better off using the all rounder or to put it another way, does the extra features on the Fermzilla make it the better buy for most home brewers?
More most who just want to transfer or brew under pressure the all rounder will be perfectly fine. You can still dry hop through the top etc. Cheers!
Sir, there is prob of temp control, usually when fermenting temp lower goes in suction, please suggest.
I recently got myself an all rounder. Any recommendations for how to avoid sucking up trub when you brew a dry hopped beer?
They have released a little filter to put on the end of the dip tube now
Very cool. That lager looks good too .Cheers
Cheers mate!
