Hello!
I'm doing my first brew in a Fermzilla and I'm doing it pressurized. Of course to save money, I have yet to get a spunding valve. It's rated up to 35 PSI and the PRV is supposed to relieve pressure above that. My question is should I release pressure from time to time? I just released a little and it seemed quite strong. The beer is a honey wheat (brewer's best kit - starting simple with a new fermenter; 1.048 OG supposed to end up as 1.007 or so) and it's a pretty active fermentation 24 hours in. It's at 72F sitting in my downstairs tub.
After releasing pressure for a few seconds, it foamed up almost to the top so I stopped. Has anyone else paved the way without a spunding valve? Should I be releasing pressure from time to time? I'm assuming that if it's always under pressure, there should be no oxygenation, correct?
Thanks!
