- Pressure fermentation is becoming more and more common at home due to the development and availability of relevant homebrewing equipment. In this video, we'll set up the BrewBuilt X3 Conical for Pressure Fermentation.

I am really looking forward to add this fermentor to my brewing gadgets!!! Thanks for the good content!
I am doing this now with Grafs in a regular corny keg with a keg land spunding valve and a Flotit from Home Brewer Lab. It is perfect for starting pressure fermentation and I can serve clear stuff with the double filtered floating dip tube. I just cold crash a little and let it rest for maybe a few days and it's basically already carbonated. I often add 30psi for a few days and it's crazy how easy it is.
Frigging gorgeous kit Vito. I'm jealous 😢
Great job.
The pressure is on🎉!!😅
thanks, much better
Love it keep it up
I use pressure at room temp. What would happen if you used pressure at lager or pilsner temps, say 50 degrees.
The colder the temp the easier for cO2 to make it's way into solution and you do want that cO2 to help scrub the beer to some extent. With that said, I've been fermenting my lager style beers at 52-54F under 3-5 psi and then letting it degass (pull the PRV a few times) during the d-rest before raising the spunding PSI and cold crashing.
@@vitodelucchi7347 Thanks for the info, just what I needed to know.
👍
While I truly appreciate this video, is there a way you could show us, less well off home brewers, how to do it on a sub $500 setup?
Used corny keg, spunding valve, floating dip tube. Should cost roughly $100-$110 give or take.
@@lordredbeard7791 do you just get a little less volume of finished beer?
@@lordredbeard7791this is what I do, I don’t even chill anymore, it goes into corny keg straight from boil, takes a day or two to cool, during that time I use wort from the boil to make a starter. Pitch it when it’s down to temp and use a keg land spunding valve, when it’s done cold crash and serving from same vessel. I don’t keep beer around long enough to care about the trub, if you do care you can use another corny, use the co2 from Fermentation to purge the second keg and then just transfer over. No oxygen and no trub, glorious.
@@steve1144 yup. I they also make 6 gallon corny kegs specifically for fermenting, I don’t bother. Just ferment in a 5 gallon and get the 4-4.5 gallons from it.
Thank you @@lordredbeard7791
I'm a little surprised not to see a 15 PSI safety PRV and blow-off pipe. Be careful with high kräusen and the spunding valve getting plugged. ⚠
I'd like to see the spunding valve with a safety PRV and analog pressure gauge (which BrewBuilt sells as their "Fermenting Under Pressure Kit") on one of the two 1.5" tri-clamp ports which are directly welded to the lid and a 4" tri-clamp hop drop (with a 4" tri-clamp butterfly valve) on the 4" tri-clamp port of the 8" tri-clamp adapter cap, rather than a tiny 1.5" tri-clamp hop bong. 👍
Could not agree more, safety first! For those who missed it, I cover the PRV and safety at 1:04 and 4:15 in this video. Please if you take anything away from this video, remember to always use a fermenter with PRV and check the valve before working with any ports. Cheers 🍻
@@vitodelucchi7347 You demonstrated the use of the X3 built-in pull ring valve in order to manually release pressure. I'm referring to the use of a safety PRV which automatically releases pressure when it exceeds the unitank maximum operating pressure (15 PSI in this case).
BrewBuilt includes a 15 PSI safety PRV (along with their spunding valve and analog pressure gauge) as part of their "Fermenting Under Pressure Kit". As BrewBuilt points out in the product description, "On all brewery pro tanks, a tri-clamp (safety) PRV is always installed in addition to a Spunding Valve. This is because a Spunding Valve still has the potential to clog. The pro PRV has a very wide interior body as to reduce the risk of clogging. The PRV is non-adjustable and comes preset to relieve pressure at 15 PSI."
Always use an automatic 15 PSI safety PRV in pressure fermenting the X3. Be safe. Cheers! 👍
Whats the reasoning to bring it up to 5 PSI in your example? Why not just let it come up on it's own, and save some gas while your at it.
Ensure the set point and all pieces of hardware are accurate before fermentation. I'm definitely a measure twice cut once type of person. But you could definitely set it and forget it as well! 🍻
