I did the same!Christened my Fermzilla with an NEIPA, a recently maligned style which my wife and I enjoy, unapologetically. Plenty of Cascade, Citra and Mosaic. Hoping for the best.

yup, me also in need of a fermenter or two. Have 15 gals of arrogant basturd, 15 gals of a nut brown, "The touch of a hand", and another 15 in the primary yesterday, an Alaskan amber clone!Sounds like the perfect reason to buy another fermenter, or two.
I have that same diptube from Brewhardware and couldn't be happier with it. It's in my BK and drains the thing dry.I brewed a fairly simple Special Bitter with around 95% Pale Ale malt and 5% Crystal 80 with EKG. I recently acquired a 15-gallon kettle with a quality 3-piece ball valve (vs my 10 gallon kettle without a ball valve). I fit the kettle with a True Weldless Bulkhead with Edge Pickup Diptube from @Bobby_M at BrewHardware.com - High end, practical homebrewing hardware, accessories and ingredients for making beer, wine, mead, and cider. and a new Wilser BIAB Bag from @wilserbrewer at wilserbrewer BIAB Brew in a Bag. I am very happy with both purchases!

I like it, although the peaches came through more as tangy fruitiness rather than real peach flavor; used 4lbs of frozen sliced fruit. Yeast was Imperial Stefon, gives a nice clove flavor that in the beginning almost bordered on bubblegum. It's settled out into a very nice tart refreshing beer. Here's s truncated version of the recipe:How is the peach hefe? I'm not normally one for fruited beers or hefeweizens but that combo sounds pretty damn good.
I'm thinking of shortening my boil times also - not quite down to 5 minutes, but maybe 45 on my next batch.I was going to brew this weekend, but Wife is going out of town for a few days on Thursday, so I will wait until then. And I might brew twice; the first will be a farmhouse ale with only a 5-minute boil and I'll be pitching the yeast warm, so a kind of short brew day. (I experiment with short-boil and no-boil recipes in the summer) I'll post more details in a couple of days when I actually commit to something.
