    Fermzilla 2 Conical 7.1gal- Reviews Wanted

    I would look at the female threads of your carb cap before screwing it on the new lid. If there are some rough/sharp spots on the carb cap threads or burs from when the threads were machine cut, that could easily lead to damage on the plastic threads of the lid. Also not seal up air tight even...

    What’s the best grain mill for the price?

    i use a barley crusher just cause i got it used for $75. When i was looking at the cereal killer it looked like the exact same thing at the barley crusher. THe only diff was that the barley crusher could do a smaller gap.

    i just soak in PBW, i have not attempted to take the valve apart and deep clean it yet. I prob will in 2-3 more batches, but i do not really see the need for it. It seems like it is a really tight componet and i do not see any crud getting stuck anywhere yet. There is not really any nooks or...

    That is pretty much what i did for the first batch i ran through it. Now, since i have not had any leaks i do the following: 1.) Remove/dump trub from jar 2.)

    "Brew703" sounds like a new unit should fix the problem. I have one too but have not had any leaks from the collection cup. I use the cup to dry hop and really like it. I pressurize the collection jar to purge and leak test before adding hops in. I just have been hand tightening as tight as i...

    i have heard you can use the collection jar to make yeast starters. I am wounder if i set my stir plate under the jar(when its attached to the FV) i can just keep the starter in the FV from day one, then you dont need any flasks for starters. Also i was thinking if i have a powerful enough stir...

    Temp control on conical /unitank

    Looking at the video, i was thinking maybe a cheap way to heat you conical is wrapping heat tape around it. HEAT TAPE LINK- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FCFNSM/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 then if you plug in your heat tape and chilling jacket pump into a two way temp controller you should be...
