Cold side for me is currently Fermzilla. I want to get my hot side dialed in and then pan to switch to jacketed SS with a glycol chiller. I’m currently running a homemade igloo cooler chiller with a temp twister and inkbird.

And I forgot to mention, with pre cleaning and clean up I still seem to be at about 7-8hr with BIAB from start to transfer to fermentor. I know a lot of people boast about 4hr BIAB brew days but that hasn’t happened for me since I was brewing extract in a 5g pot. I will admit I’m not the most...

Some of my pain points with BIAB are the inconsistent efficiencies. I brew 6 and 12g batches. Most the time the same NEIPA batches and it’s all over the board. Some days I kill it and some days it sucks. I have no control over my mash temps. I live in Nebraska and 50% of the time I brew it’s...

Bobby I hope you don’t take offense to this either. I’ve met people that have awards with 2V and BIAB systems. And I know that’s attainable. At the moment I’m not looking to win awards or start a brewery. I’m happy with my profession and love the time I have with my family so I don’t want to...

Thank you all for your input. I honestly appreciate it and take no offense to suggesting BIAB. First I do not have deep pockets, I’ve been adding equipment to my arsenal over 6 years and am planning to add 1 more vessel, albeit an expensive one I’ve some off old equipment and saved money over...

I’ve been wanting to move to a 3 kettle set up with temp control mash. I currently have 15g & 20g mega pots. My thought was to turn the 15g to my HLT and the 20g as my boil kettle (not stuck on this just what I thought would be the easiest/most economical) I figure precise temp control on HLT...

Thanks man, I’m surprised this didn’t move at the previous price. I’d have bought this in a heart beat at this price when I was shopping for one.

Dropped to $100 for final price reduction.

Bump

Well you can see how well it went for me on brew day with no pipe bender. New temp twister is what it will cost me. Make that 2 one for my 7g and one for my 15g.

One of my favorite NEIPA recipes calls for a double dry hop. Once fermentation is complete you soft crash to 55 then add your first charge of dry hops. At this time you’re supposed to apply 7-10psi. I have a Fermzilla so I’m able to do that. After 2 days your supposed to drop out what you can...

Reduced price. This is a smoking deal for a great plate chiller.

Is there any advantage to keeping the Fermzilla butterfly? Couldn’t you go from the tank directly to the elbow? I want to do this!! I can’t wait to get rid of the damn collection jar like I have on my gen 2.

I suppose it’s me trying to get as close to a ss conical without the 2K investment. Pretty much anyone that I’ve seen has this dump setup. I really like this video about dumping and harvesting and that’s where I started thinking this setup would be a great idea.

I have really liked the Fermzilla, always wanted a conical but SS wasn’t in the budget. There are some great features to it and until I have $2,000 to drop on a SS conical I will continue to make it work. I used the undrilled ports in your pic, step drilled and used duotight fittings the the...

First and foremost I can’t stand the collection jar. It’s a huge PITA. I currently have the screw on and screw off. Thinking about upgrading to tri clamp Fermzilla which will get rid off the issues with screwing it off and on but still presents some of the same issues in my mind. 1. You still...

Just finally tried out the new hop bong on my Fermzilla. Had to email morebeer prior to using because the lid is really hard to press into the opening. Big PITA you have to put the collar on first then attach your post otherwise the collar won’t go down. Then it came time to drill my new lid...

Anyone using and liking the new tri conical with morebeer 3”x1.5 elbow directly off the bottom of the conical? Was thinking about trying this then going from the elbow to a site glass to a 1.5” butterfly. Then reduce down to 1/2” off butterfly to dump trub and collect yeast.

Is it possible, with a great starter, to miss high krausen within first 24hr if not actively looking? I know my fermentations take off like rockets and I see it in my airlock but I have a jacket around my Fermzilla so I don’t actively zip down my jacket to check. My most rent ferm by 36-48...

For my NEIPA’s I solely use Imperial Juice. I love the yeast. Wondering if anyone else runs into what I do. I used to do starters and decant off beer then pitch. But lately I’ve been spinning my starter and pitching the whole contents right at about 18 hours or so. My fermentations always go off...
