Review on ๐Ÿบ Optimized for SEO: FASTFERMENT - FF3G 3 Gallon Conical Fermenter - Ideal for 3-Gallon or Small Batch 1-Gallon Fermentation (Includes Stand and Hardware) by Karla Matthews

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works well but could be better.

I've brewed two batches of beer in it so far and it works well. Pros: - The lid is large enough to be easily cleaned by hand. - The plastic looks well made and I did not notice any plastic smell. - The cone bottom is convenient for removing dirt and yeast. Bad - The screw on the cover is leaking. I even wrapped the steps in teflon tape, but gas comes out during fermentation. The problem is not a problem because the fermenter is under slight pressure. After harvesting the yeast and putting the empty jar back in place, air is pushed out and blown through the wort, which is something you really want to avoid. You don't want to acidify the wort. I didn't notice any off-flavors, so the effect may be small. Other thoughts. It's supposed to be 3 gallons and if you put in 3 gallons it's full. 2.5 gallons is probably the maximum you can add, but after removing the sediment and yeast you have about 2 gallons. I would have liked a little more capacity but if you are looking for 2 gallon batches this is perfect. Also make sure that the insides of the ball valve are screwed tightly, otherwise the valve will leak. Overall, it serves its purpose at a very reasonable price.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Clarity
