Fermzilla advice please

[Bedders1802]

Hi all

I am thinking about purchasing a 27ltr Fermzilla 3 and would appreciate feedback and advice on using it. I am newish to brewing and would be brewing IPA'S, DIPA, NEIPA etc.
Many thanks

Can I ask why? Not being difficult, trying to understand what is important to you?

I understand from what i have read that fermenting under pressure adds to hop aroma and flavour retention. I would also be able to transfer to secondary with very little oxygen getting to the brew and therefore hopefully making better beers.

It’s not the under pressure but it being a closed system that retains volatiles and prevents oxygen damage to more delicate beers, the under pressure will actually suppress yeast expression.
I don’t know how the new tri-clamp versions are but the All Rounders are a lot less fiddly to use than the full on Fermzillas. I really like my all rounder (I also have the original Fermentasaurus and much prefer the simplicity of the AR).
