O rings won’t seal threads. They need two smooth surfaces to seal. Top of the lid to seal on the smooth surface surface of the post.

Instead of 2001 please supply 2 x 2278 Czech pills thanks

I have 2 55L FZ and 1 27L FZ. No problems disassembling and reassembling. No problems with leaks. A small amount of silicone lube on the rubber parts makes things much easier. I still have a fermentasauris but prefer the FZ.

No, keep prices as low as possible. Paying extra for some of these services is unnecessary. If you can’t afford it now wait until you can. Even if service is “interest free” there is still a merchant charge that is eventually reflected in the selling price.

I have used this technique a number of times on a 55L FZ with pressure ferment and 0 psi. No volcano. If applying CO2 via dip tube make sure flow is very slow as not to blow the hops out.

More info required as your method & yeast will play a part in achieving 4,5%. The calculations below may help. For a 4.5% abv. (approx) Batch size: 20L Efficiency: 70% Mash Profile: Medium body Yeast US-05 OG 1043 FG 1009 4Kg Veloria OR 3.9Kg Compass

An easy way to dry hop using a Fermzilla and keeping O2 out. If under pressure, release pressure via PRV. Remove gas post, don't worry, air won't enter, liquid will still be giving up CO2. Using a funnel add hops via the opening where the gas post was. Don't worry about releasing pressure...

Could always use another fermenter.

That should be “now with no problems “

Try this one https://www.bunnings.com.au/xu1-900w-submersible-pump_p4819828 I have been using one for a few months not with no problems.

That’s 3 X 19L

A PET bottle that fits in the 4L mini keg parka would be good. (The 5L is too fat to fit in a Kegerator together with 4 X 19L or in many fridge doors.)

If you’re getting 17L this is awesome. Allowing for headspace while fermenting and losses to the goop on the bottom 15.5L would be good. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Probably should be another thread. Have been using floating dip tube & serving direct from 19L keg & it works great but I would not use this method on all beer styles

Voyager have the BeerSmith BSMZ file for download on their site. How do you add it to BeerSmith?

The barb and elbow bit is exactly how I do it.

Without the helix, a lot more hop and break material gets sucked up. The helix works well for the last few litres.

Change the way you use your chiller, I presume your immersion chiller is a SS or copper coil. Do it the other way around. Pass the wort through the chiller, immerse the chiller in something like a 20 L bucket with the ability to pass cooling water in and out. Not as efficient for sure but more...

What volume are you doing? I have converted my 3V system to a 4V system some months ago to get more responsive ramp time and it has worked very well. It involves a relay to always give HLT1 (small volume herms vessel) priortiy allowing the larger HLT2 (Hotter sparge water) to heat up during the...
