Review on 🍺 Optimized for SEO: FASTFERMENT - FF3G 3 Gallon Conical Fermenter - Ideal for 3-Gallon or Small Batch 1-Gallon Fermentation (Includes Stand and Hardware) by Jessica Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I liked it so much I bought another week later (and will probably buy more!)

I have been home brewing small batches (1-2 gallons) for many years and have been on the Looking for a conical setup with trap deposits (like the catalytic converter) but didn't want a setup larger than 5 gallons. FastFerment has a few larger models that I liked, but their 3 gallon model was the perfect size for what I wanted. While this saves time, it also reduces the risk of contamination - once you've placed your wort and yeast in the sanitized machine. , must not be opened until the day of bottling. Removing the sediment and collecting the yeast is very easy, so the secondary fermentation lasts 3 minutes. I liked it so much I bought a second 3 gallon kit a week after receiving the first one. Since then, I've "bottled" and bottled, and it's been a breeze. There is a lot of emphasis on valve threads in the supplied instructions and I've seen some chatter on the forums as well. To ensure a smooth connection, before winding the tape, I decided to clean the threads of excess burr (due to the production process of molding at the fermenter). I haven't had any problems with leaks. I recommend a leak test according to the instructions - I combined the leak test with the disinfection step: I only used the disinfectant solution as a test liquid. By the way, about instructions. . . The accompanying manual has instructions on wine making, malt extraction method, bag brewing, etc. It's nice to have more than just a general guide. One final note: I successfully and easily harvested and stored yeast from my first batch and have since carried it over to my third batch. Worked great. This is also described in the instructions. Tip: Have an extra 4-ounce sanitized jar and lid handy.
