    Fermzilla All Rounder Straps

    I like these fermenters so much I have two of them. They didn't come with the straps that hold the fermenter to the stand. I ended up using duct tape which actually works pretty well. I was going to place an order for some other beer gear and was thinking of purchasing the straps but was...

    Duotight Fittings Source

    When I purchased a couple of AllRounders and keg washer I purchased the Duotight fittings and EVA barrier tubing. This stuff is like Tinker Toys for making connections on the fly. I really like the system. About 10 months ago (before I discovered Duotight) I had to replace my Keezer's 4-way gas...

    Sold (Chicago Area) Motorized Barley Crusher Grain Mill

    I built the base and hopper for this mill. It includes the gear motor shown so no pulleys and belts required. It is wired to be able to run forward and reverse. I'm located in the SW burbs of Chicago. Thanks Mike

    Felt Like a Rookie Today

    I've pressure transferred to a keg a few times now even with pressurized fermentation but today I forgot to put the spunding valve on my keg and opened the pressure relief to move the beer. There was a little over 12 psi in the fermenter and the CO2 was at 14 psi. So instant volcano in my...

    Fermzilla All Rounder Fermenter with Pressure Kit & Spunding Valve (Never Used)

    Local pickup since shipping is probably too high. I'm in the SW suburbs of Chicago. $110 firm (I paid more for this with tax) I sold my older conical because I wanted something simpler to clean and wanted to try pressurized fermentation. I got enough funds from my old system to buy two of...

    Fermenting Under Pressure

    At the end of fermentation could you use the extra pressure in the fermenter to purge the keg - say 12 psi to a few psi?

    Tap Handle Issue

    My wife bought me a couple of very nice Chicago Bears tap handles. Problem is when I open my keezer lid it hits the handles and even on one enough to start the flow of beer. So they have been off for a while but then I saw a fitting "angler" made just for this issue and ordered them. So excited...

    InkBird ITC-308 WiFi - Trend Diagram

    My InkBird works well for controlling fermentation temperatures and controlling them through my phone. What I struggle to understand is how to get the best use out of the temperature trend diagram (graphing). I've been using it on a brew for a week now and the temperature scale on the "Y" axis...

    3-Roller Mills at MoreBeer

    Looking for a replacement for my aged BarleyCrusher. I see MoreBeer has two 3-roller mills I'm looking at - the Malt Muncher and Mighty Mill. The hopper seems larger on the Malt Muncher and has steel rollers. The Mighty Mill has SS rollers and geared top rollers. From reading about the 3-roller...

    Fermentation Temperature Control

    Question about fermentation temperature control. I have the components to to use a pond pump, cooler w/ice, controller, and coil in my All-Rounder fermentor. I tested this out and it functions but have read the ice maintenance is a pain and it's hard to achieve cold-crash temperature. The other...

    Fermzilla All-Rounder with Temp Twister

    I have a BrewJacket immersion chiller/heater. I really like this system on my FastFerment conical and a carboy. I want to ferment under pressure and pressure transfer so purchased an All-Rounder. Love it so far. Looking for feedback on something I'm thinking of trying. For temperature control I...

    Fermzilla All-Rounder Lid Leak

    I'm new to this All-Rounder but not fermenters with glan seals. I'm pressure testing the system. I'm having trouble with the lid to vessel seal. I lubed the o-ring and inside collar of the fermenter with a film of lube - like I use on all o-rings. First two tries and had leak. Third time I added...

    Pressure Transfer of Pressure Fermented Beer

    Soon to try pressure fermentation using a Fermzilla All-Rounder. When it comes time to keg I would like to do a pressure transfer (new to me too). Wondering if there are any helpful guides/tips to doing this especially since the beer will carbonated start with. Thanks, Mike

    Help Choosing Pressurized Fermenter

    I want to try pressurized fermentation. I sort of narrowed my choice down to the Fremzilla conical with collection cup and the Fermzilla all-rounder. Currently I use a FastFerment conical. I like the collection cup for collecting/dumping trub before I pitch yeast but don't really use it for...

    Which Pump for Beer Line Cleaning

    I have a four tap keezer. I used my Riptide brewing pump with jumper fittings to clean all four lines at the same time. Pain with this method was I needed to prime the pump. I recently purchased a Mark II keg cleaner so tried that yesterday. It has a 40W 520GPH pond pump. I hooked up two lines...

    Grain Storage

    I have some 2-row grain that has been stored in my basement in a sealed brew bucket for close to 3-years now. I see they say 6-12 month storage time for grain. Is this true? The grain still smells good. What happens to it as it ages? Toss it? Use it? Thanks Mike
