Great timing, literally took delivery of one of these from you guys as you uploaded this! Stellar service as always, less than 24hrs from clicking order to taking delivery! Have a lager fermenting in it already!
yes it does. Works a treat with plastic buckets With loads of space not he sides and above. There are also extenders available if at any point to make the terminator higher if you start using taller fermenters.
Ive just upgraded from a basic BIAB setup where it was a case of "ferment in the hall and hope for the best" to an allinone so it seems a shame to do that with a good system so this seems perfect! I have a 25litre fermentor so looks like it should fit okay, but would the extra headroom part give better airflow or should it be snug? Many thanks! Adam
It won't need alot of head space for circulation, we have dimensions on the product page if you need to check but really suggest you'll see great improvements in the quality of your brews if the fermentation temperature is precise
My question is....fermentation is an exothermic reaction, wouldn't the temperature of the beer be too high by the time the system detects that there's an increase in temperature? I know it's similar to the concept of using only a fridge an relying on the ambient temperature of it to trigger the controller, but how does this system monitor the increase or decrease in temperature? Can you maybe stick the thermometer to the fermenting vessel?
There is another video where this is explained. You should attach the probe to the side of the fermenter facing opposite side than the control/cooling unit. Also, on top of that, cover the probe with a piece of polystyrene. This way, you get more accurate reading. I would not stick it into the fermenter in order to avoid potential contamination. Use regular tape to attach both probe and the "cover". Hint: You should make a "hole" for the probe so it fits the polystyrene cover well.
Hi Guys, I’ve bought one and now I’m fermenting my first batch. I put inside the ferminator an additional thermometer to understand if the ferminator probe was reading the correct temp. Both thermometers are fixed on the fermenter and protected by a spoon.I see 2 degrees of difference. Moreover, if I cool down the ferminator, let’s say 3 degrees, the other thermometer decrease of 0,2 or 0,3 degrees. Do you think I need to calibrate again the probe? Sound weird to me.
I don't think anyone has them yet but we are adding international worldwide shipping and should be able to operate this by the end of the week to the US
Ooh - peltier's... Watch that energy bill - peltier coolers take the energy difference you want to achieve, and then you have the price to pay to maintain it.. I used to use one to overclock a Celeron 300A for overclocking a PC. They are VERY inefficient! :-)

Thanks so much for the support , hope you get many awesome brewers from it
Bought it a few months ago from you and I'm very happy with it
Nice one thanks for sharing your experience with us
Does this fit over a plastic bucket fermenter
yes it does. Works a treat with plastic buckets With loads of space not he sides and above. There are also extenders available if at any point to make the terminator higher if you start using taller fermenters.
@@Geterbrewed Thanks , it just didn't look big enough , so that's a 27-30l bucket ?
What an amazing piece of kit
Nice one thanks
I bet that would work nicely with a fermzilla 27l, i might need an expansion or two to fit it all though.
LOVE the look of this thing. Do you post to Australia? If so, how much?

I need this thing so badly.
You can get one here www.geterbrewed.com/ferminator-basic/ Thanks for watching
It’s on my wish list. Thanks.

Hi Giuseppe, if you are confident that your thermometer is accurate, you can calibrate the ferminator probe to match
@@Geterbrewed thank you.
Can you buy the motor on it’s own? I don’t want the rest of it?
Yeah you can buy the cooling heating unit separately here www.geterbrewed.com/ferminator-cooling-heating-unit/
How long it take to chill 25 degrees of ambient?
Hi What temperature you wanting to take it from and to?
Form 70/72 to 34
10 hours or so
Is it available in the U.S market?

We have shipping available via DHL but given the distance it'll not be a cheap solution
