This particular kit is a one-click option for those who want to be able to brew a double batch under pressure with a 55L Tri-Conical FermZilla. Designed as a single batch system that goes perfectly hand in hand with the BrewZilla 65L if you are looking to Brew All Grain or Partial Mash beers.
This is a very good starting point for those who are just getting into pressurisable fermenters and want to know what we would recommend to use with them. Pressure fermentation opens up a world of possibilities for the homebrewer wanting to take their beers to the next level. If you are kegging then the ability to do a closed pressure transfer straight into a keg is worth the cost of entry!

*Please note: none of these can be changed, substituted or swapped out* If you want something different to the above, order it separately.
This kit has carbonation caps on the collection container either to purge or take samples of yeast from. You may need additional keg connectors and line for this, and for transfers.
We would also still recommend getting a CO2 gas bottle to be able to transfer to a keg/bottle/can or dispense directly out of the unit. As these units were designed to be fermenting and pressure transfer vessels for your delicious cargo.
What's new the difference between Gen2 and Gen3?
1. Moulded 3 inch tri-clamp ferrule in the body of the FermZilla tank
2. 3 inch Tri-Clamp Butterfly Valve
3. 3 Inch Tri-Clamp 600mL Collection Container
4. The latest models now come with an Easy-Grip Threaded Lid Ring that has a multitude of uses.
The new and improved FermZilla 55L brought to you by the critical key minds and engineers behind the original Gen1 and Gen2. But with all the tweaks that make it the most cost-effective conical fermenter to date!
The new FermZilla is a revolution in home brewing allowing home brewers and small micro-breweries a level of control that meets everyone's budget. With the FermZilla you have many of the benefits of a much more expensive stainless conical fermenter but with the additional benefit of being able to see the fermentation process in action and also ferment at pressures up to 2.4bar.
This is an incredible product at an extremely attractive price point in all the different sizes and models.
Please note:
When using this vessel under pressure. You must perform a water pressure check to ensure your connections are leak proof before you fill the fermenter every time. To do this. Fill your FermZilla up with some water, then apply a minimum of 15psi pressure to the vessel. Check for leaks around all Cap / Threads by tipping it upside down, in all directions where there are risks of leakage.
Occasionally these units may come with some small indentations/dimples/dents from shipping, this is just a reality of shipping large blow-moulded thin-walled vessels. But don't panic, these fermenters are designed to endure minor deformations such as this. This was a necessary implementation into the design so that they can withstand some accidental suction from cold crashing and rough handling in transit without compromising their integrity and ability to endure high pressures. All small dents will push out and settle with use and positive pressure and are only an issue and warrant replacement in the rare event they start to show white stress patterns or have damaged the plastic.
