iBooz2 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) 8 hours ago, Journeyman said: how otherwise I can fill bottles - I figure seeing the fermzilla doesn't have a tap I'd need a siphon if the pressure idea isn't viable. Mark, I bottle from my Fermzilla nearly every batch. Just use this simple tube setup with a push on tap, hose is pushed into the Coopers bottling wand tube. Obviously use the tap to stop the flow when the bottle gets full. You need one of these hose setups to take samples for your hydrometer reading anyway, particularly when the gravity gets close to landing at FG. Simply connect it to the floating dip tube output post and use the resident pressure in the Fermzilla to push your beer out, or if not enough pressure then gas from bottle onto the gas in post. Note: I do not use the bottling wand end piece / valve bit as it will just get blown off on account of the pressure from the Fermzilla, either into one of your bottles or to a very dark long lost corner of the brewery and you will never see it again.

jamiek86 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 First time its had 3 almost full in it at same time surprised how far forward the front one is to edge. Door still closes nicely they obviously built them to fit 4 but be as compact as possible which I can understand. Fiddled around for while to get everything how I wanted it now let another pilsner age. Collected slurry for first time over to yeast thread 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Kegged Mitch's Aussie Lager today. Looks good. Nice classic beery aroma. I might age this one for a day before I start drinking it. Also got a few Grolsch bottles out of it too, including a Magnum worth. Pretty much O2 free gravity transfer. Almost empty. Bag legs of fermenter propped up, but only after level gets close to tap. Nice and clear beer 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to stick to Extract brewing for the time being but I would love to have beer on tap. Maybe one day soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do they come in cubes - food grade - that you can then re-use. I think I saw some a long time ago at a rare visit to CPB in Wodonga... Do they make good beer?

The All Inn Brewing FWKs used to come in cubes, they now come in a box and cask. They're pretty good, not as good as my AGs but handy if you're short on time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 1 minute ago, Green Blob said: Do it I am slowly assessing the equipment I would need without being to elaborate & expensive, however I am aware of Gumtree/Ebay etc but I like my things new so a few visits to LBHS & compare prices & options. As soon as I clear my stocks of cans/BE/Malt etc I was going to try a couple of wort packs & get some gear to get into grain, so it may be sooner than I think.
