Additional Recommendations

We recommend using glass bottles. You can reuse glass bottles from other beers you have consumed. For carbonation, use carbonation drops or sugar for bottle priming.

Important Notes

SPECIAL NOTE: This fermenter has not been pressure tested and is not designed for fermenting under pressure, pressure transferring, or carbonating. If you are looking for a pressure-rated fermenter in which you can carbonate, we recommend choosing the "FermZilla All-Rounder 30L or 60L" or "FermZilla Conical Uni Tank 27L and 55L" models. For this reason, this tank does not come with a PRV valve, and we do not recommend putting it under pressure through modification.

WARNING: This fermenter is rated for temperatures up to 45°C. Make sure to cool the liquid below this temperature before pouring it into the fermenter. If you need to dissolve extract syrup with boiling water, be sure to cover the syrup with sanitized foil or the sanitized lid of the can while cooling and cool it below 45°C, for example, in an ice bath.

6 Reasons Why FermZilla Flat Bottom is Superior

1. Ultra-smooth surface
The PET material is ultra-smooth, making cleaning easier. Other HDPE fermenters have very porous walls, which means fermentation residue sticks to the walls, and the holes in HDPE are large enough for bacteria to grow in the fermenter wall.

2. Better oxygen barrier
Some fermenters, like the Coopers type, are not even airtight and have a loosely fitting lid, allowing oxygen to easily enter the fermenter. Other fermenters are often made of HDPE, which has a high gas transmission rate, meaning oxygen can pass through the fermenter wall.

3. Integrated tap
The Fermzilla flat bottom comes with a pre-drilled hole for an adjustable tap. This makes bottling much easier than using a siphon.

4. Lightweight and strong
FermZilla fermenters are lightweight but truly strong and shatterproof.

5. Convenient lid opening size
The opening at the top has a diameter of 120mm, making it easy to insert your hand for cleaning, yet small enough to easily close the lid with minimal force.

6. New ergonomic lid design
The new lid design makes lifting the vessel much easier than previous metal versions. It has a pre-installed silicone grommet in the lid for inserting the three-piece airlock.

General Principle of Beer Brewing

Beer brewing is a fermentation-based process where brewer's yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. In the FermZilla fermenter, you can monitor the entire process through the transparent wall, check the fermentation temperature with the adhesive thermometer, and assess the alcohol content using the hydrometer. When fermentation is complete, you can easily bottle the beer through the integrated tap and cap the bottles with the included bottle capper.
