UPDATE #2 Alright. So the 3/4 inch valve was a fail, and I didn't enjoy the magnet/hop bag method for o2 free dry hopping. I couldn't get the right mix of bag big enough for hop efficiency vs. Small enough bag that it doesn't droop down into the beer. SO I build a tri-clover dry hop set up to...

Update: I tried out the fermzilla DH set-up today, and like schmurf's experience, it sucked. I thought if I smashed the hops a bit with a rubber mallet they'd go through just fine, but that wasn't the case. If you're doing more than an ounce you'd pretty much have to pulverize them in a food...

https://www.williamsbrewing.com/Home-Brewing-Equipment/Fermentation-Equipment/Fermenters-Carboys/Fermzilla-Fermenters/Fermzilla-Dry-Hop-Valve If anyone is still interested in this dry-hopping set-up, williamsbrewing got some of those valves in! They'll sell out quick I'm sure. Plus these dudes...

Yep it's the same as a pop bottle (and fermzilla cap threads.) 3/4" pco1881.

$116 still a far cry from about $16, but thanks for the info and links! Looks like ebay has been a bit of an underutilized source of hardware for me.

First time poster, looooooong time lurker here. (Thanks for the gold mine of info over the years!) So I got sent a fermzilla conical on accident (was supposed to be the all-rounder.) Is having a dump valve worth anything other than yeast harvesting? I probably won't be harvesting yeast, as I'm...

It would be a piece of cake to drill out the fermzilla lid and install a TC bulkhead and go from there, but then you're looking at about $200 per fermenter just to dryhop. I think the appeal of the kegland set-up is the low price tag.

Thanks for the reply! That's probably what I'll end up doing as well since the valves seem impossible to track down.

Hey lurker Hey lurker, did you ever find a source for these?? The only place I've seen selling them is alliexpress, and I'm just not sure about going that route and waiting 3 months for it to ship here.
