I used a Fermzilla a couple of years ago, but found it a bit difficult to keep pressurised and it has more parts than the Fermenter King so found I needed to pay extra attention to sanitisation. Newer models have come out since, maybe they address some of these issues? I have fermented in a corny keg, I'd recommend swapping a floating dip tube for the existing one but depending how much you brew these can be a great option too. Do you have a keg setup?
@@KegThat No, no kegs at the mo, just bucket and pressure barrel/ bottles. I've been happy with the results so far, just wondering if a pressure/ keg setup would be worth it for my next move
@@bigsqueegie Something to take into consideration would be how to serve/transfer from the PF without an existing CO2 setup. Happy to give advice but was wondering if you had a plan? I'd say pressure fermenting for "clean" styles (IPAs, certain stouts, lagers etc) has really been a game changer.
I sometimes have trouble recognizing which post is which and after loosing a whole batch I put yellow paint on the bottom of the liquid post and red on the gas,yellow means beer and the spunding valve goes on the red.
This Chubby has been on my radar for a little while. I like the idea of single vessel or using it as a keg..
After 10 months of using it I still love it! I'm changing how I ferment beers so all my brews can be pressurised during fermentation
@@KegThat that's good to know. Have you had experience with any other pressure fermenters? Probably a toss up between this or a corny keg.

I only bottle but found this very interesting to watch, cheers :)
