FREE Kegland Wort Whipper Stir Plate!

Wort Whipper Stir Plate

Kegland Wort Whipper Stir Plate via William’s Brewing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The compact Wort Whipper from KegLand is only 1.1″ thick, and 4.75″ wide. Although this unit says it can stir up to 5 liters, we have tested it and found it is only good for up to 2000ml of wort in a 3000ml Erlemeyer Flask. Still, it is an excellent value for $40.00.

This unit has variable speed, and it is best for yeast growth to set the speed as low as possible so the yeast is suspended without it looking like a tornado. A magnetic stir bar is included, although the pictured 3000ml Erlenmeyer Flask is not included.


 

  • For a limited time William’s Brewing is throwing in a FREE Wort Whipper when you place an order of $109 or more and use coupon code Q30 at checkout.
  • No need to add the Wort Whipper to your cart, it will be automatically added when you use the coupon with a qualifying order at checkout.
  • Shipping is free or reasonably priced flat rate to addresses in the lower 48 states depending on your order size for most items.

Includes some of our favorite accessories for the FermZilla, such as the Pressure Kit with Floating Dip Tube so you’re always racking the clearest beer, Duotight BlowTie 2 for pressure fermentations and flow control keg transfers, and Insulating Jacket to help maintain stable fermentation temps
These accessories will help unlock the FermZilla’s full potential, so buy them together and enjoy the savings!
Combo Pack Includes:

FermZilla Tri-Conical Fermenter | Gen 3.2 | 7.1G
Plastic Pressure Kit w/ Floating Dip Tube
Duotight BlowTie 2 Spunding Valve
Insulating Jacket
FermZilla Tri-Conical Fermenter

The Gen 3.2 FermZilla Tri-Conical features a newly designed collection container with top & bottom PCO1881 ports. The collection container has a 3″ T.C. opening and installs on the Conical with a 3″ T.C. butterfly valve. The molded 3″ T.C. ferrule on the tank is a huge improvement over the Gen 2 model—eliminating the complicated dump valve design and simplifying the collection container connection. Brew with confidence on the new Tri-Clover FermZilla!

NOTE: The primary example photo shows the collection container from the Gen 3 FermZilla.

Out of the box, the FermZilla Conical is an amazing fermenter that will immediately step up your game on the cold side of the brewing process. But what we love most about this unit is how easily it is to upgrade as you go—adding more functionality and gaining more precise control over your fermentation with each new accessory. Below are some of our favorite add-ons for the FermZilla Tri-Conical Fermenter.

Pressure Kit
The FermZilla is the perfect option for brewers that want all the advantages of a conical fermenter without the price tag of a full blown stainless steel unit. It allows you to dump trub, harvest yeast, and with the addition of the FermZilla Pressure Kit, you can carbonate and serve – all in one vessel! The clear PET tank allows you to visually monitor fermentation activity and is pressure rated to 2.4 Bar (34.8 psi), which means you can ferment under pressure, reducing ester and fusel alcohols in your finished beer. This also gives the ability to perform pressure transfers. If you prefer to move your finished beer to a keg or other vessel, you can do so with little to no oxygen exposure.

Tri-Clamp Pressure Lid
Add a 2″ T.C. port to your fermenter by replacing the standard lid with the FermZilla Tri-Clamp Pressure Lid. This will give you an opening to add dry hops or other additions without needing to remove the entire lid, or you can upgrade down the road with a Hop Bong sight glass in order to add CO2 and purge your hop charge of oxygen. PCO1881 threaded ports are still there for Ball Lock Caps, as well as undrilled ports for an optional Thermowell and Temp Twister cooling coil.

Hop Bong Pressure Pack
The ultimate upgrade kit! The Hop Bong Pressure Pack has all of the parts included with the Pressure Kit and Tri-Clamp Pressure Lid but fully parted out to remove the guess work. If the Tri-Conical is your first FermZilla fermenter, this accessory kit is for you. Load up the Hop Bong, flush it with CO2, purge out oxygen with the handy PRV on top, then simply open the Butterfly Valve to inject your beer with a 6 oz payload of dry hops.

FermZilla Gen 3 vs Gen 3.2:

3″ x 3″ T.C. butterfly dump valve
3″ T.C. compatible collection container
600 mL collection container w/ top & bottom PCO1881 threaded ports
What’s Included:

FermZilla 27L Tank with 3″ T.C. Bottom Port
3″ T.C. Butterfly Valve
600 mL Collection Container with 3″ T.C. Connection
Stainless Steel Stand with Swing Handles
Stainless Steel Handle Assembly
Top Lid with PRV (35 psi)
3″ tri-clamp with gaskets
3-Piece Airlock
Graduation Sticker
Adhesive Thermometer
Spare Seals
Specs:

27 L (7.1 gal) Total Volume
Pressure Rated to 2.4 Bar (34.8 psi)
Height in Stand – 29.5″
Height w/ Airlock – 33.7″
Tank Diameter – 13.9″
Diameter in Stand – 15.3″
Lid & Collection Container Ports – 28 mm PCO 1881 threads
Temperature Rating:
When not under pressure, do not expose to liquids above 131°F
When under pressure, do not expose to any temperatures above 95°F*
*Please note that the temperature rating for the FermZilla tank is lower when using it under pressure. When not under pressure, it is perfectly safe to transfer wort into the tank below 131°F or to use hot liquids below this temp for cleaning. When under pressure, make sure to keep your fermentation temperature below 95°F and keep the fermenter in an environment that is below 95°F ambient. This is especially important when fermenting with kveik yeast. These strains are known to ferment hot if no temperature control is being used. Exceeding the temperature rating may compromise the tank, leading to a shorter life span or sudden failure to maintain pressure. Even with proper use, we recommend replacing the tank every two years.

Installation Note: For best performance with your Floating Dip Tube, ensure there is not an excess amount of slack when the silicone dip tube is installed and shorten it if needed. With the floating dip tube installed on your empty FermZilla, you ideally want the dip tube to hang freely with just enough length for the end of the dup tube to touch the bottom of the tank.

Please note: when using the FermZilla under pressure, you must perform a water pressure check to ensure your connections are leak proof. To do this, fill your FermZilla up with water, apply at least 15 psi pressure, and check for leaks around all caps and threads.

Pressure Stress
If you use the FermZilla to ferment under pressure, or you use CO2 to pressure transfer or force carbonate your finished beer, it is very important that you conduct semi-annual inspections of your tank. Even with perfect care, the FermZilla tank may show signs of wear from pressure stress over time. We recommend visually inspecting your tank for stress creases or other signs of wear once or twice a year. A hydro test should be conducted every two years, even if no signs of wear are found. The process is simple:

Fill the tank to the brim with water
Replace the Red PRV with a Green PRV rated to 4.5 BAR or higher
Pressurize the tank to 4 BAR (58 psi)
Check for leaks, then replace the Red PRV when finished
If leaks or potential points of failure are found, replace the tank before you continue using pressure with your FermZilla.

General Care
Taking good care of your FermZilla begins with cleaning and sanitizing the unit before and after use. The tank is made from food-grade PET, which is beautifully clear, but can be sensitive to long soaks in cleaners and acid-based sanitizers. In general, we do not recommend leaving products like PBW or StarSan soaking in the tank for more than an hour. Extended soaks have the potential to degrade the PET material and shorten the lifespan of the tank.

KegLand Part number: KL25898

MoreBeer 6 Gallon Bucket w/Spigot and Sediment Filter [Fermentation or Bottling] – $15.99, BEATS 2018 Deal

Plastic Bucket - 6 gal. (With Spigot) FE345

6 Gallon Food Grade Bucket from MoreBeer.  Includes MoreBeer’s Sediment Block Spigot, which helps minimize trub uptake.  Spigot can be rotated up (if you use this as a fermenter) or down (if you use this as a bottling bucket).  Note that lids are sold separately.

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

A six gallon food grade bucket for fermentation or bottling with a built in spigot.  Outlet barb accepts 3/8″ ID vinyl tubing.  To use as a fermenter you will need to pick up the optional lid, stopper, and an airlock.  Includes our new Sediment Block Spigot, which will help minimize trub uptake as you rack after fermentation.  If using this as a bottling bucket, simply rotate the spigot to maximize product output.  Spigot includes gasket and sediment blocking lock nut and can easily be removed for cleaning and sanitizing.

If you use the bucket for fermentation be sure to use care when cleaning. Do not use any abrasive pads that would scratch. Once you get a scratch in a plastic bucket it is very hard to sanitize.  This is also why we don’t recommend storing equipment in a bucket between uses as a fermenter. A hot PBW soak is often a perfect way to clean a bucket, followed by a Star San soak for killing bacteria.

Please note:

  • Buckets are translucent and do not come with lids.
  • Buckets are not designed to hold pressure.
  • Lids are not gasketed and so do not always form a perfect, airtight seal. Not intended for long-term storage.
  • Food-Grade to 180° F

Get a Deal on BULK Grain!

When you purchase 6+ 5lb bags of the same grain MoreBeer will apply a volume discount. You can see this discount on each product page. Here is an example:

Malt Deal at MoreBeer! – choose 6 more 5lb bags of grain to see volume discounts

Get Free Shipping: Shipping is free with a qualifying $59 order to many US addresses

Example… Briess 2 Row drops to $7.65 when you buy 6 or more 5 lbs packs. Buy 10 x 5 lb packs and you’ll have the equivalent of a 50 lb sack of grain. With the discount this will figure to $76.50 AND that will include shipping to many US addresses.

Yes, free shipping works… FREE Shipping DOES Work. I periodically get questions/concerns when I post this workaround, please read… Although bags of grain do not ship under MoreBeer’s free shipping program… this is a loophole of sorts. 5 and 10 lb bags do ship for free. If you use this technique you will receive 5 x 10 lb bags of grain, not a single 50 lb sack.

DIGITAL Refractometer, Range 0-55% Brix

More Info


Highlighted Features
  • The Flagfront Digital Brix can clearly and accurately display the measured sugar content and the automatic temperature compensation measurement data is more accurate (the same liquid has the same measured value at different temperatures)
  • The operation is simple, and the measurement result is displayed in about 3 seconds with 2 buttons. The stainless steel sample tank is easy to clean, and the fully sealed body is used to prevent dust, and the waterproof level is IP58.
  • The measurement range of 0-55% can meet the needs of food, fruit, beverage, coffee, agriculture and wine industries, and routine test measurement. You can use this product for household food sugar measurement, fruit purchase and fruit sales, etc.

For me, getting a refractometer was one of those upgrades that made a lot of difference.  With a refractometer you need a sample size of two drops.  I figured that this would pay for itself in beer savings alone.  I also had just broken my hydrometer and came to the realization that hydrometers are made of breakable glass that can break! 🙂

With the aid of calculators – get a Free Non-Expiring Brewfather Trial Account –  Refractometers can be used to measure gravity throughout the brewing process.
