FermZilla Conical Fermenter | 27L (7.1G) PET Plastic

The Next Evolution in Homebrewing Fermentation

The FermZilla Tri-Conical Gen 3.2 offers advanced homebrewing fermentation features with a newly designed 600 mL collection container and 3" T.C. butterfly valve. The top and bottom PCO1881 ports on the container allow for efficient yeast harvesting, dry hopping, and trub collection, making your brewing process smoother and more precise. This upgrade from the Gen 3 model comes with a more robust valve and improved compatibility with 3" tri-clamp fittings for an enhanced user experience.

Temperature & Pressure Guidelines

The FermZilla Gen 3.2 can safely handle wort transfers and hot cleaning liquids below 131°F when not pressurized. However, under pressure, it's critical to keep fermentation temperatures below 95°F. This is especially important for high-temperature yeast strains, like kveik yeast, which can ferment at elevated temperatures. Exceeding these temperature guidelines can lead to tank damage or failure, and we recommend replacing your tank every two years for optimal performance.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

To ensure your FermZilla has a long lifespan:

• Inspect every 6-12 months for stress marks or wear, especially when used under pressure.
• Hydro test every 2 years by filling the tank with water and pressurizing it to 4 BAR (58 psi) using a Green PRVrated at 4.5 BAR or higher. Replace the Red PRV after testing.

Important: Do not leave cleaning agents like PBW or StarSan in the tank for more than an hour, as prolonged exposure may degrade the PET material and reduce the lifespan of the tank.
