SPECIAL NOTE:
This fermenter has not been pressure rated and it's not designed to ferment under pressure, pressure transfer or carbonate in. If you are looking for a pressure rated fermenter that you can carbonate in then we would recommend that you go for the "FermZilla All-Rounder in 30L or 60L" Or "FermZilla Conical Uni Tank in 27L and 55L" models. For this reason, we have not supplied this tank with a PRV valve and do not recommend putting it under pressure by modification.
WARNING: This fermenter is only rated to temperatures of 45C. Ensure to cool any liquid down to below this temperature before pouring in to the fermenter. If you need to dissolve extract syrup with boiling water, make sure to cover the syrup with sanitised foil or the sanitised lid of the can while cooling and cool down to below 45C in an ice bath for example.

Home Brewing and Beer Making

35 x 35 x 47cm to top of the accessory port on the lid.
5 Reasons to Get the FermZilla Flat Bottom is Superior to other HDPE and PP Fermenters
1. Super Smooth
The PET is super smooth making it easier to clean. Other HDPE fermenters have very porous wall meaning krausen sticks to the walls and the holes in HDPE are large enough for bacteria to grow in the wall of the fermenter.
2. Better Oxygen Barrier
Some fermenters like the Coopers type are not even airtight and have a loose-fitting lid allowing oxygen to get into the fermenter easily. Other fermenters are often made from HDPE that has high gas transmission rate meaning oxygen can pass through the wall of the fermenter
3. Lightweight and strong
The FermZilla fermenters are lightweight but really strong and shatterproof.
4. Convenient Lid Opening Size
The opening at the top is 120mm diameter so its easy to get your arm into clean but also small enough that it's easy to seal the lid with minimal force.
5. New Lid Design
The new lid design allows you to fit other accessories to the lid easily such as thermowell or glycol coil.

Brewing frequently asked questions
How long does it take to brew beer?
The time it takes to brew beer can vary, but on average, the process takes about 4 to 6 weeks. This includes the various stages such as malting, mashing, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, and bottling. However, some beer styles may require longer aging periods for optimal flavor development.
Is home brewing worth it?
Many people find home brewing to be a rewarding and enjoyable hobby, allowing them to create unique and customised beers. It provides a deeper understanding of the brewing process and offers the opportunity to experiment with different ingredients and styles. Additionally, home brewing can be cost-effective in the long run compared to purchasing craft beers. However, it requires time, effort, and a certain level of commitment. Whether it's worth it ultimately depends on one's passion for brewing and the satisfaction derived from the process and the end product.
Is home brewing legal?
Home brewing for personal use is generally legal, and there is no need for a specific license as long as certain conditions are met. Home brewers are allowed to produce beer, wine, and cider for personal consumption. However, there are limits on the amount that can be brewed without a license. As of January 2022, the limits were 100 litres for beer and 100 litres for wine per household.
It's important to stay informed about any updates or changes in the regulations, so it's advisable to check with local authorities or brewing associations for the most current information regarding home brewing laws in the UK. Always ensure that you comply with the relevant regulations and guidelines to enjoy home brewing within the legal framework.
