Pressure Ferment Under $115?!? Kegland Fermzilla All Rounder Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 06. 2024
- At $49.99 for the All Rounder and $29.99 for the pressure kit. Also needed is a spunding valve the Blow tie at $34.99 completes the package. The Kegland Fermzilla All Rounder is a great option to get into pressure fermentation.
You can pressure ferment, pressure transfer, force carbonate, and even serve your beer all from one device.
You do need a spunding valve to release pressure while fermenting.
The blow tie from kegland is a good choice.

You do need a spunding valve to release pressure during pressure fermenting. www.morebeer.com/products/blowtie-diaphragm-spunding-valve-1.html?a_aid=shrtcrct
hey... you have this little screw clamp valve that you use to control flow on your silicon hoses... where can i get one and what are they called?
@@JoshuaAdkisson Anvil brewing calls them a SS hose pincher and sells them for $4.0. Look under part on their web site
What Brian said!
Instablaster...
I'd love to see more content on pressurized fermentation.
Alrighty then! ; 👍🍻 thanks for the comment!
Add me to that list too Brian. Good review on the Rounder. Thanks for the video.
Would love to see you do an ale under pressure.
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers if you could do a full walk through on pressure ferm start to finish that would be amazing. 👍
@@mlm7298 on the list!
This review answered all my questions. Thanks!
Glad you found it helpful!!
Great review, mine showed up last week. Would like to see more on pressure fermentation. Thanks Brian! Cheers 🍻
Thanks Jim!! 👍🍻
Thanks for the video. I too would like to see more on pressurized fermentation..Appreciate all your effort and time that you invest to inform the home brewing community..
Thanks!! It is a great community! Full of great people! I will definitely look at doing pressure fermentation video.
Fantastic video. Yes, I'm definitely more interested in pressure fermentation. Thanks!
👍🍻
would love to see a session on pressure brewing- am very new to this so any new knowledge like this is great
Sounds good!
Great concise presentation Brian. No frills, no waffling on. All points to the point.
Cheers from down under
Thanks 👍
I would also like to see you do just a video on pressure fermentation. A lot out there cover it, but I believe I would learn more from the way would cover the topic. Cheers Brain great vid as always.
Thanks! I'll see what I can come up with. 🍻👍
Nicely done video as always Brian. The All rounder is a good option for sure.
I completely agree it is a great way to pressure ferment! 👍🍻
Great video Brian, and as you guessed I would love to see a video on pressure ferment with this. Thanks again for all your help with mine on Twitter. I hope to raise a glass soon to tell you how it came out. Cheers!
B
Awesome let me know how it turns out! 👍🍻
Super tip with the tilting of the Fermzilla to get every last drop of beer. Going to be doing that in future. Top video Brian.
Thanks Martin!! 👍🍻
Good tip about tilting it!! Thanks!
👍🍻
Hey Brian, love my all rounder, purchased a year ago from woodyshomebrew supply, als purchased the pressurized kit as well for pressurized fermentation. It is my go to for NEIPAs, lagers, pilsners and IPAs . It one of the best for the price. I am so glad you did a review of this, this product is amazing. Cheers Bri!
Good stuff!
Great video, looking at this fermenter for closed transferring my NEIPA's. Looks like it does exactly what I need Thanks!
Welcome!! 👍🍻
Nice review as always I love this thing and plan to add a second one soon.
If they can keep them in stock!! Lol
Short Circuited Brewers true. Another bonus is the all rounder fits in my fermentstion chamber while my snub nosed fermentasaurus does not.
Hi Brian. Yes let’s see that pressure fermentation! Nice review. I’m considering going to the Fermzilla vs a stainless brew bucket.
Will do!
Yes! We love pressure fermentation videos!
Haha! Ok will do!
Nice review! I also think that the all-rounder’s simplicity (in the sense that it doesn’t have the smaller container for dry-hopping and/or yeast collection) is actually an upside - less likely you’ll have leaks etc. Looking forward to see more on pressurized fermentation!
I agree completely! I will see what I can do! 👍🍻
i´ve had mine for about 6-7 months now and its awesome. Only vessel i use nowadays.
It is a good value for sure! 👍🍻
Agree. I’d like to see a full pressurized fermentation video too! I’m seeing a need for this for my NEIPA brews!
Will do
Thanks for the review. I would like to see a video on pressure fermentation.
👍🍻
I've been doing pressurized fermentation solely since I started back up 2 months ago after a 2 year hiatus. I use the All-Rounders and I absolutely love them. I did a Kveik Fermented Amarillo IPA and it fermented in my shed, at 100F in less than 11 hours, NO polyphenols, and attenuated amazingly... thanks for the videos and I'd love to see you do some pressurized fermentation videos with a specific focus on the science behind the pressurized fermentation, adjusted temperature guidelines for pressure, etc
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks Brian, some how I missed this video. Great review, now I need to try mine out.
Haha!! You'll love it! 👍🍻
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers can't wait 🍻 is there any yeast restrictions for pressure fermentation?
@@freshcleanair only ones that I know of is some saison strains don't like pressure. Most others are ok.
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Thank you!
I would definitely love a pressurized fermentation video! I have 2 of the Fermzillas with the collection balls underneath that I haven't used yet.
Noted! I have a fermzilla also.
I would love to see more video on pressure fermentation and also how the all rounder unit might be used for dry hopping.
Good suggestion!
I finally finished my DIY glycol chiller and installed the Temp twister and thermowell on my two all-rounders. I messed up drilling my first set of lids and bought pre-drilled lids from Williams brewing. Had trouble getting the one install to be pressuretight. Ended up putting a few layers of epoxy on the outside of the lid for the one temp twister install.
Love Pressure fermenting and the ability to cold crash and carbonate in one vessel is awesome. Not going back! My DIY glycol chiller is a beast too, was able to chill from 75 to 38 in under an hour. Keeping the reservoir at 26 degF
Nice!! The temp twister is a little bit of a chore to get right for sure. The chiller sounds awesome!! 👍🍻
Definitely would like more content on pressure fermentation.
Ok thanks!! 👍🍻
I just picked up an all rounder for 10 gallon batches. My first ferment was a lager using 34/70, only issue I had was I didn't tighten the caps enough. Great product and very reasonable. The bigger all rounder likes to tip over in the stand when empty, so you just have to keep making beer. Pressurized transfers is a real plus when you keg too!.
For sure! Love the pressure transfer aspect. 👍🍻
It would be nice to see more on pressure fermentation, i have 2 AllRounders coming & waiting patiently (not really) from what I gather I need to get the floats as well thanks for your videos Brian cheers
Ok thanks! Will see what I can do. 👍🍻
Hi Brian. Another great video thanks. I would love to see a video on how all the connections go together and what bits I need in addition to the Fermzilla itself in order to do pressurised transfer and dispense from a keg. I can't find one anywhere and I'm confused by the whole gas in / beer out thing and what connects where!
Sure we would love to see you do a pressure fermentation video
I'm working on it. 👍🍻
Yes I would like to see a video on your take on how to ferment under pressure.
Awesome!! Will do!
I would love to learn more about pressure fermenting. Ive done it once so far but would like to know more about the ins and outs of why and at what PSI. Thanks Brian! Always good stuff! Sláinte!
You got it!! 👍🍻
great video my dude
Thanks Braj!! 👍🍻
I'd love to see more content on pressurized fermentation with the All Rounder :)
Will do
Thanks for the video !! You mention the stainless steel pressure kit. I have come across other videos and reviews that state the stainless steel posts over time damage the threading on the cap through tightening. The plastic ones seem to be a safer option and work just as well. Thought I would share!
I could see that. Thanks for that tip!! 👍🍻
Yes I would like too see a video pressure Fermenting I brought a all rounder and just got it very good show
Will do!
Just did a Milk Stout this morning in my all rounder. Not pressuring this time though. Works a treat!
It really is a glass (DANGER) carboy replacement. Easier to clean on top of safer! 🍻👍
I have two all rounders with pressure kit I picked up in April. Have put 6 batches through them so far. I love them and they make cold crashing and pressure transfers sooooo awesome. WIll not go back. I have been using HotHead yeast at 10 psi and 75degF
Nice!! 👍🍻
would love to see more pressurized content! The small one keeps selling out real quick so I guess it must be popular.
It is a great technique I'm working on doing a video on it. 👍🍻
Hey Brian, just did my first pressurised percent using the 65ltr fermzilla, was easy to use and did a fully closed transfer to the kegs, way less messier. Worked awesome and well priced here in Perth Western Australia
Nice!! I really like doing that too. I'll say. I bet you aren't moving that 65L one around much once it's full!! Lol I have a 65L speidel and it is HEAVY with 11 gallons in it!! Cheers mate! 👍🍻
Short Circuited Brewers so here’s my dilemma, it doesn’t fit exactly in my fermentation fridge, so l have to slant it on the side, the stand l can’t use so l use a piece of rope to keep it steady, and allow the spunding valve to sit nicely, when transferring the beverage l had to take it out of the fridge and put it on the stand haha, 1st world crisis, worked like a treat.
I too would like to see more on fermenting under pressure.
Ok will do! 👍🍻
i def like to see a pressure fermentation video i have been wanting to do a pilsner beer but cant do the traditional colder fermentation
ok will do!
Great video. Please do a pressure fermenting video! I want to learn about that. I heard it can make your lagers well *Lager* really fast
You are correct!! 👍🍻
Yes please, a pressurised ferment video please.
I have the equipment but am hesitant re pressure settings etc.
Also, I don’t have room for kegging A Pressurised bottle filling video would be great as well.
Thanks
Will do!
Any content on dry hopping and maybe top cropping while pressure fermenting would be appreciated. Thanks Brian!
I have a regular fermzilla, I may do a dry hop under pressure with that one. 👍🍻
Good video, To be honest I like the plastic carb caps better because they seal better. I have had problems with the stainless carb cap rubber washer seal squeezing into the hole and not sealing when i snugged them down lightly to seal on the Fermzilla.
I think i heard that somewhere too. Cheers!
Would love to see some videos on the topic of pressure fermentation
Ok will do! 👍🍻
Good video, Brian. I am rebuilding my brewery after being out of it for 15 years and am seriously considering pressure fermentation and would like to hear more of what you have to say about it.
Will do!! 👍🍻
I CANT WAIT for the Keg King Fermenter King Jr to be available in the US! Should be sometime in January.
Same concept as the All Rounder, but in the form factor of a clear Corny Keg. Only downside is it has a 5gal max capacity, so fermenting in it will mean you can't quite do 5gal batches.
Will be interesting to see. 👍🍻
A video on pressure fermentation would be awesome. I’d like to do a Belgian Pilsner this way.
Will do!! 👍🍻
I'd like to see a video on pressurized fermentation. Intro type stuff, benefits. Etc.
👍🍻
Damn I had no idea you could make lagers at 70F. I always wanted to make a hoppy lager but never could. I just ordered a Anvil stainless bucket too. Maybe I should have me ordered this. Thanks for the video!
Haha no problem! I have 2 Anvil buckets. Love those as well. 👍🍻
Would appreciate tutorial on pressure transfer with all rounder and anvil fermentation bucket. Stay strong 💪🏽
Great suggestion!
I briefly skimmed your home page and didn't see a video on pressure transfer, but if you haven't already done it, I'd be very interested to see it! I was going to order an anvil bucked fermenter but I'll probably get this now.
Thanks! I did do a collaboration with Martin from the homebrew challenge. I did a demonstration of pressure transfer in his video. This one.
czcams.com/video/jOU7H4mieBw/video.html
Is it possible to take a hidrometer sample during fermentation or you only determine It is done fermenting by looking at the beer?
Thank you, another awesome video Brian, I'm about to start fermenting under pressure thanks to your amazing videos!
What I do is use a picnic tap and then run it through a coffee filter to make sure that the CO2 is scrubbed from the wort. (Fermenting under pressure carbonates the beer and that would throw off your reading, that's why I do that) hope that helps! Cheers 👍🍻
So looks like there is a lot of interest in pressure fermenting!!! I'd be really interested in this as well to have 1 video that has it all - what the benefits are and also about closed transfer. Lots of info out there but not in a central video.
Thanks for the suggestion! 👍🍻
You just gave me an idea. Maybe I can tilt this to be able to fit inside my mini fridge for temp controlling, hmmm.
Try it!
Luv the tip on tilting during transfer. I stumbled across this tip by accident and it worked great. Made a big fat mess trying to pressure ferment in Corney even though it was only 4.5G. (Didn’t know spunding valve needs to be setup BEFORE and not during active fermenting. Setup valve using 1.5G Corney with water and CO2- too scared to try again in Corney and went with All rounder. Your thoughts on converting Spiedel fermenter for pressure fermentation?? I have 2 unused gathering cobwebs.
Not recommended. The speidel vessels are not rated for pressure. 👍🍻
I'd also recommend getting kegland's diaphragm spunding valve.
I agree.. They didn't send me one and they were sold out.. 👍🍻
It would be great if you could do a full episode about pressure fermentation. Trying to understand if it is worth it and the benefits. Then how do i do it?
Ok got lots of votes for it! 👍🍻
Love my all rounders.
True story, they cost around 40 dollars in china with the pressure kit. I am getting as many as I can fit in my apartment
That's a great deal!! Jump on it!
Great video. I'd like to see pressure fermentation in a keg.
Also interested in dryhopping under pressure vs adding hop tea from a pragmatic as well as flavour perspective 😉
Great suggestion!
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Love your videos so would be great if you can include it in a future episode 👍
@@geertkoene will do!
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Awesome, looking forward to it!
Can you do a video on pressure fermentation? Make a beer for it, talk about the types it's good for, explain what the spunding valve is... Etc. I'm interested in pressure fermentation, but have had a hard time finding full information.
Sure that would be my plan, as not all styles and yeasts benefit from the technique. 👍🍻
agree! hard to find 1 video that has it all. Wish the sold the All Rounder as a bundle with pressure gear as I had to do three different orders for the parts!
More information on pressurized fermentation would be awesome. I want to buy one of these fermenters, but it seems it’s difficult for locations around me to get it in stock.
they are pretty hot right now.. I see them out of stock quite often.
I'd like to see more videos on pressurized fermentation. One question: Does this work for small batches? It seems like you completed a small batch brew there? All I do nowadays is small batch and would love to speed up the fermentation process which I assume this does? Okay, maybe I have more than just one question... Great video!
lol no problem. This was actually about a 6 gallon batch.
A video on pressure fermentation would be great. From reading some of the comments, sounds like not all styles/yeast benefit from this? I’m new to this hobby, and looking at potential upgrades from the basic starter kit. Thanks.
It reduces esters in the yeast, sometimes you want that character. It's a matter of preference. There are styles that I think are great for it though. 👍🍻
Short Circuited Brewers Thanks for the reply.
Great video thanks, would the ispindel be okay under pressure in this?
Yes it will
More on pressure fermentation please. What pressure for what yeasts/ beer styles? Anything you would definitely NOT ferment under pressure?
good suggestion! There are definitely some styles that don't benefit from it.
Hello Brian. When you ferment under temperature, do you let the process to build up the pressure by itself or do you pre-pressurize the vessel and then let the fermentation to start already under pression?
As I had shown in the video I start with no pressure and let it build up pressure on its own. I leave it under pressure the entire time and transfer to keg under pressure as well. 👍🍻
Hello Brian...Hope you and the family are safe and healthy. I just watched the video from Homebrew Challenge where you talked about the complete closed system transfer by connecting the fermenter to the keg the beer will end up in. I have a question...can this also be used as a great failsafe to have an additional pressure relief valve in the mix from the keg? Just incase something goes wrong with the Spunding Valve?
Not exactly, the keg pressure relief valve is rated for higher psi than the fermzilla. 👍🍻
I'd like to see a video covering how to very simply explain how to "set" a sounding valve. All the pressurised fermentation videos I've seen show you where the parts go, be always seem to say "set the spunding valve to X and then plug it in here" they never seem to go over how to set the valves properly.
Ok! Thanks for that detail. I will include it! 👍🍻
Thank you, as always your continued efforts are much appreciated.
I appreciate the feedback! 👍🍻
First brew using the All Rounder. I did not place it under pressure as I was going to let it happen naturally. However, I’m noticing a few hours after sealing everything up, the walls of the fermenter are being sucked in. What would cause this? When I pull the release valve, gas gets released and the walls somewhat return to normal. Any ideas?
Count me in for a pressure fermentation video! What is your turn around time for the Lager grain to glass?
Can be as quick as 15 days. 10 in the fermenter and 5 days conditioning/carbing in the keg. The yeast doesn't fully drop out that quick but it definitely ready to drink.
Great video. Wondering if you had any issues with the floating dip tube getting clogged and then effecting the closed transfer. If so any tips on getting around that.
I have not had any issues with that I am assuming you have a lot of hops in the fermenter?
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Sometimes hops or krausen residue just stagnating near the attachment to the floater, or at least it looks like it. Still a great fermenter though, I use them all the time.
Cool, thx, just ordered the Fermzilla! BTW: from where can I order the Tshirt ˋI ferment under pressure ´ :)
underneath of the video there should be a banner down there that has my teespring store you can just go there and order one
Were can you buy Graduation Sticker at that will work with any bucket. Because i have a Fermonster and it doesn't have any gallon markings on it
That's kind of subjective. it would have to be made specific to the vessel in order to be accurate. I would say your best bet is to weigh water and mark it with a sharpie and then put some vinyl numbers on it based on your markings.
Forget the all rounder, i want that T-shirt!
teespring.com/shop/new-i-ferment-under-pressure right there!!
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers haha good man. i might spring for the XXL. I hear pressurised fermentation turns the beer out pretty quick.
@@TheGavranatar yes it does! 👍🍻
I'd love more content on pressure fermentation! What are your thoughts on doing a sour in one of these? Would it become a sour only vessel?
I would say no... I've done a sour in mine, and i just starsan them overnight and I haven't had a problem yet
I even rigged up a little magnet controlled system for dry-hopping without removing the lid during fermentation
Thanks for that response I've not done a sour in mine. 👍🍻
Thanks Josh
Brian, I noticed on the shot of the closed loop transfer I don't see a CO2 tank in the loop, how did you do this? I have been using your old method but this picture intrigued me, please share.
Pressurize the keg to match the fermzilla, attach the "out" from the fermzilla to the "out" on the keg, purge a little pressure from the keg until you see the flow start. Then connect the "in" on both vessels with the jumper. It is really just a siphon that you are doing, so gravity is doing the work.
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Thanks Brian, I'll give this a go next time, might save some CO2.
Any yeast recommendations for Mexican lager under pressure? Recipe for not not corona!?
I used pilsner from wyeast. I'll see if I can add the recipe to the description. 👍🍻
Brian, that shirt is sweet, where did you get it?
My teespring site. It should be below this video and in the description.
Woulid this work okay for smaller batches such as 3-4 gallons as well, or too much headspace? I fugure with CO2 it's not a concern?
Would be fine. Martin on the The Homebrew challenge has been using it with 2.5 gallon batches no problem.
What about secondary fermentation, should you still transfer or is it not needed under pressure?
I just transfer to keg. No secondary. Why risk oxidation. 👍🍻
Great video. I just ordered a new All-Rounder set-up, but since you do a bit of fashioning yourself I had a question. Do you think there is a way to add a 3rd male thread to the lid so that you can attach a female ball value with a carbonation tee to do closed dry hopping? You could attach a PET bottle to the top of the tee and a ball lock to CO2 purge the hops to the other side of the tee, then open the ball valve and dispense the hops into the brew. Or I could be WAAAAAYYYYY overthinking this method. Hahaha. Thanks in advance for your response.
Not enough room for doing that. Fermzilla would be the answer for all of that.👍🍻
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers So just dry hop through the lid as quickly as possible to limit O2 exposure?
@@ChuckWaterman9598 correct.. just Don't release the pressure too quickly otherwise you'll have a fermenter full of foam blowing out of the top...lol
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers YES! I was going to do a slow release through the Spunding valve and keep a close eye on the Krausen. I think my first beer in this new fermentor probably won't have a dry hop addition. Hahaha! Thanks again for your time and the videos!
@@ChuckWaterman9598 👍🍻
Hey Brian, how much lager yeast you use per gallon when using pressure fermentation?
I just used one dry yeast packet no starter on the beer shown in the video. 👍🍻
so will the beer be ready to drink when yeast is done fermenting under pressure?
It is partially carbonated. It does still need additional carbonation, but not much. Has to do with the temperature of the fermentation, at 68f the beer won't absord as much CO2 as if it were at 35-40 degrees. 👍🍻
+1 More pressurized fermentation info would be great if you don't mind 👍
Sure thing!! 👍🍻
I'd love to have one of these, but I don't think it will fit in my fermentation fridge - I think it is too fat. (I am using big mouth bubblers and they are skinny - like 13.5" or 14" in diameter. Yes, I hate the lid.) Do you think you can brew larger batches of beer because you don't need as much headspace? Great video - I do love me some Kegland gear...I'm gonna go install my Kegland secondary regulators this afternoon. Cheers!
Probably, like 7 gallons I suppose. But a little odd to do that size batch. Maybe a regular corny keg and a 2.5 gallon keg?
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Yep, or split a batch for unique dryhopping/oaking and maybe a few bottle for later. Cheers!
The all-rounder is a great fermenter.. it's probably the sweet spot price wise for a plastic fermenter like this. I've felt that the other Fermentasaurus' and Fermzilla's are too big and too expensive for their theorecial limited lifespan of being pressure capable. $50 is a good pricepoint. You can go thru 8 of these for the same pricepoint of something like the Flex+.
Right on
Question about pressure fermenting as I'm brand new to this but just picked up the All Rounder. At about 3:45 you mention that you didn't pressurize the tank at all and just let it naturally pressurize. Is this standard? Can I expect to just pitch my yeast, set my spunding valve to say 10psi and then just let it do its thing? I've seen others do a burst of CO2 right after pitching but I'm curious if that is needed. Thanks!
Yes you can do it either way. I would suggest you adjust your spunding valve to make sure it's set properly. You can do that by pressurizing a keg and putting your spunding valve on a keg and then adjust it down to the pressure you want. That way you make sure that you're not going to over pressurize the vessel.
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Makes sense. Thanks for the videos as well as your posts in the Anvil Foundry Facebook group. Great stuff!
@@kmind71 👍🍻
Do I understand this? You did not pressurise? It was the yeast that built up the pressure? What was the pressure? How fast did it reach it? And is this sufficient to avoid bad esters from the yeast? I ask because I just bought this all rounder, and still have not bought a CO2 tank. Thanks a lot for good videos.
Yes that is 100% correct the yeast builds pressure from expelling CO2 during fermentation. It builds pressure pretty quick from no pressure to 10 or 12 PSI probably takes a few hours once active fermentation starts. It does slightly carbonate the beer more carbonation may be needed. Also there's not enough pressure built up to be able to dispense the entire amount of beer in the fermenter. You also need to have a spunding valve if you're going to ferment under pressure to be able to release the pressure at a given point. I would not exceed 15 psi btw.
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers Thanks a lot. Yes, I bought the kit with the spunding walve and the ball. I will try David' Heat's vienna with kveik and let it pressurise itself. Might get a CO2 tank for the full carbonation and dispencing though, as I understand you. I enjoy you videos a lot, beeing new to brewing. Greetings from Norway.
Not kegging yet still bottling. Thoughts on bottling and priming.
You could put your priming sugar in each bottle and then use a beer gun to fill each bottle right from the fermenter. 🍻🍻
Ideo idea! 10gallon batch split, One lager is under pressure and the other is a brulosophy "short and shotty method" to see the difference. Ps your arms aren't that big, you even lift bro.💪
Lol... no but I'm married.. ;-)
How do you dry hop with the all runder...?
You can either remove the lid. Or hang hop sacks by magnet inside then drop them when needed. 👍🍻
I don't know if it has been already asked, sorry if I'm repeating. But, with Fermzilla, how can you transfer your beer (after carbonated in the fermenter) into bottles? Can the oxygen be reduced or eliminated in this process?
You can use a beer gun like you would with a keg.👍🍻
Thanks, I thought on that, but I was thinking in alternative to use the pressure to fill the bottle with the Brew Bottler, like this one: shop.grainfather.com/brew-bottler.html
What do you think of that?
My 30L All Rounder has seams in the plastic, is that how it should be? I though it was one solid mold, I don’t see seams in your video.
They are not seams most likely but marks from the mold. They are not poured, they are blow-mold vessels.
They look like seams, it goes around the entire circumference horizontally and vertically. I can also feel it, almost like it’s slightly raised. I took some photos, can I send them to you to look at?
I want one but they are out of stock on the misc stuff!
Yeah they should be back in soon 👍🍻
Hi Brian, where do I center the level sticker? It says the dot, is it the center of the dot or the edge of the dot?
Edge if I remember right. 👍🍻
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers thx so much. Also, should I keep a constant flow of co2, or just prime it?
Brian, can you let me know on this? For the co2 question. Thx again
@@mlm7298 for pressure fermentation you need a spunding valve and you would have a steady pressure maintained with the spunding valve relieving pressure during the fermentation
@@ShortCircuitedBrewers OK should I rely on just the co2 coming from ferm, or supplement with a co2 line hooked up as well? Also, when cold crashing should I turn the co2 off or turn it up?
