Fermzilla 27L and 55L Tri-Conical Gen 3.2

The FermZilla Tri-Conical Starter Kit Gen 3.2 Easy-Grip from KegLand is a pressure-rated conical fermenter for controlled fermentation, pressure fermentation, yeast harvesting and closed transfers. Depending on the selected size, the FermZilla is suitable either for standard homebrew batches or for larger double-batch fermentations.

The FermZilla Tri-Conical Starter Kit Gen 3.2 Easy-Grip is available in different sizes. The 27L version is suitable for fermenting up to 23 litres of wort with sufficient headspace, while the 55L version is designed for larger batches and double-batch fermentation. Please select the required size from the dropdown menu before ordering.

With the FermZilla Tri-Conical Gen 3.2, the essential pressure fermentation hardware is already included. The supplied pressure kit with floating dip tube, carbonation caps and the integrated BlowTie spunding valve with gauge make the fermenter ready for pressure fermentation straight out of the box. No additional pressure kit or separate spunding valve is required to start fermenting under pressure. The 3” Tri-Clamp cone allows the fermenter to be taken apart quickly for cleaning, sanitising and yeast handling. The 3” butterfly valve and 600 ml Tri-Clamp collection container make it possible to separate trub, harvest yeast and manage fermentation sediment without transferring the beer. The transparent tank also allows visual control of fermentation activity and sediment formation.

Depending on the selected size, the FermZilla can be used for standard fermentation, pressure fermentation, natural carbonation during fermentation, yeast harvesting, trub separation and closed transfer into kegs. If you have a CO₂ source and a tap, the finished beer can also be dispensed directly from the fermenter, provided the vessel can be kept cold. For oxygen-sensitive beers such as IPA, NEIPA or hop-forward pale ales, the FermZilla system can be expanded with suitable accessories.

A Hop Bong Kit   allows oxygen-free dry hopping, while a transfer line kit enables closed pressure transfer into stainless steel kegs. If you are using temperature-controlled fermentation, the FermZilla Twister cooling coil  combined with the  FermZilla thermowell  allows you to connect a cooling unit (e.g. Icemaster G20) to the FermZilla. The FermZilla 27L also includes a 600 ml collection container for harvesting yeast You can read more about the advantages of pressure fermentation and what to consider in our blog on pressure fermentation.

Important Notes
Read the instruction manual before first use. Improper handling may void warranty claims. Liquids must never exceed 50°C. When using the FermZilla under pressure, regular water pressure testing according to the instructions must be carried out. Before first use under pressure, perform a pressure test with water. Fill the FermZilla with water, apply at least 15 psi pressure and check all caps, threads, seals and Tri-Clamp connections for leaks. This pressure check should be repeated before each pressure fermentation.The FermZilla is designed as a fermentation and pressure transfer vessel. It does not include a tap and is not designed for direct bottle filling without additional equipment. Bottling is possible with suitable counter-pressure filling systems such as iTap. Alternatively, beer can be transferred from the top using a siphon. A CO₂ source is recommended for closed transfers, keg filling, can filling or direct dispensing from the fermenter.
