As the Rip van Winkle of brewing, I am still catching up on new things, and I just found out about pressure fermenting.
I have read that it allows fermentation at higher temperatures, in addition to providing other benefits.
I see there is some debate about whether the beer tastes better. That's not a big concern to me. If there is no improvement at all, it would still be worth it if I could get the same beer I used to make without setting up a fermenting fridge.
Is that too much to ask for?
It looks like a Fermzilla runs $124, but I would have to pay at least $250 for a new freezer. Cost is not a big consideration, but a freezer takes up a lot of room.
My house is between 73° and 75° just about all the time.
Before I quit brewing, I usually made ales at around 68°, but I also have some lager recipes.
