- Apollo 30L Snub Nose Pressure Fermenter - Unboxing and review
Once again, this is not a beer review. This time we're looking at an absolutely fantastic piece of equipment that we picked up and Penny has been trying out after oxidising his last brew.
You can buy one here from The Malt Miller, and here's what they have to say about it....

Fermenting under pressure has huge benefits, including low ester formation, less dependence on temperature control, oxygen-free transfer and beer that is near- carbonated after fermentation. For homebrewers and small batch brewers, pressure fermentation allows for faster fermentation times.

Good work guys, ace to see you getting a great result with the FV. That smoked lager looks banging....
Good review guys. A really nice step up from a bucket fermentor too.
Great clip guys, been pondering myself as to whether to get one of these and this has pretty much sealed my choice, thanks 👍
I’ve just delved into my first pressure fermenter went for the fermzilla 27ltr Gen 3 . 2 tri conical with a pressure kit and spunding valve I’m very exited to try it. Was planning a review so don’t think I’m copying when I do it , although happy to copy your content it’s fantastic. That looks like a great bit of kit and the beer looks lovely cheers 👍🍻
I carbonate my beer in my Apollo just after I start cold crash. 20 psi for about 5 days. Then the beer is fully carbed in the fermenter. Transfer to the keg and pretty much ready to serve.
Good video, use 2 leads, one for the beer and one for C02, place the receiving keg lower on
We just got this fermenter as well and its great!
My Apollo arrives in about 15 mins. thanks to you two fellas.
To add the gelatin, get a 500ml coke bottle and a carbonation cap. Put the gelatin mix in. Purge it then raise to 15-20 psi and use a short line with two gas disconnects to force the mix into the fermenter. No oxygen exposure 😁
Great review lads, i bought the very same version a few months back from TMM. I also have 2 all rounders but they now just sit on a shelf as i prefer this one. The only issues i found were a lack of instructions and the filter, which kept clogging so i binned that off in the end and it works really well now without it, but there seemed to be no alernative in the box which was a shame. The spundy valve's are also a great addition and compact so they save on height over the kegland ones
Wonder if you could cut a hole in the lid where the PRV/Hop port is and fit a 1.5 or 2" weldless triclamp port... loads of options then for dry-hopping etc.
Interesting video, agree Penny, be great if someone would do a smaller version, maybe 20 lts ....
Looks like good competition for the all rounder. One note with these is to keep them out of the sun when possible. A few minutes won't hurt anything, but definitely store them somewhere dark. Then they should last a really long time.
Nice review! The only thing I would say is that you mentioned to use the different PRV's as a spunding valve, and I really don't think this is good advice at all. Too many clogged/non activating PRV's leading to at worst exploded FVs. Other than that, great work!
Another great vid guys, it looks a good alternative to the all rounder with all the gear with it. Where did you get your mini co2 cylinder from, penny?
Hi, great review. Would this fit inside my converted fridge, its normal size fridge with a step on the bottom. would it be possible to remove the metal support and cut a piece of plywood with a hole cut in the middle and placed by the step in the fridge. This would be the new modified support. Thanks in advance.
How does it compare to the all rounder with a pressure kit? Looks to have the same diameter lid now, the small lid in the previous version put me off.
