Immersion Pro's patented solid state heat exchange system creates a heat vacuum using 90w of electricity, allowing it to remove heat from your fermenter. The controller decides when to activate the heat exchanger based on your set temperature and the temperature it reads inside your fermenter.
How do you cool a FermZilla?
Use an IceMaster Glycol Chiller or ice bath with submersible pump to push coolant through the coil when temps get too hot. Designed for the FermZilla but can can be used with virtually any fermenter that has an opening diameter of 4-3/8" or wider.
How do you control the temperature in beer fermentation?
- Swamp Cooler.
- Ice Bath.
- Basements and Garages.
- Build Your Own Refrigerator.
- The Brew Belt.
- Space Heater.
- Use an Old Fridge or Freezer.
What is a FermZilla?
The FermZilla is a conical homebrew fermenter that is designed to be used under pressure. This innovative product allows you to ferment, carbonate, and even dispense, directly from the fermenter. We highly recommend the FermZilla for any homebrewer looking to improve the quality of their beer.
How do you lower fermentation temperature?
Decreasing Fermentation Temperature The easiest method is to wrap the fermenter with a wet towel. When the water evaporates it will cool the exterior of the fermenter.
Can I lower temperature during fermentation?
If you want to ferment cold, it may be necessary to acclimate your starter to a lower temperature to prevent cold shocking them. This can be done by slowly lowering the temperature of the starter the day before.
What is the ideal temperature for fermentation?
The optimum temperature range for yeast fermentation is between 90˚F-95˚F (32˚C-35˚C). Every degree above this range depresses fermentation. While elevated temperature is problematic in all phases of ethanol production, it is specifically hazardous during the later stages of fermentation.
How can I keep my fermenter cool without a refrigerator?
Simply put your fermenter in a pan of water. Soak a T-shirt in the water and place it over your fermenter, making sure that the bottom of the shirt dips into the water all the way around. Place a fan blowing on this, and your fermenter will hold a temperature about 10-15 degrees below ambient temperature.
How do you cold crash a fermenter?
Place your fermenter directly in a fridge/freezer and get the beer as cold as possible without actually freezing. Shoot for about 32-35°F for 24-48 hours. Remove and proceed with kegging or bottling. Don't worry, there will still be enough yeast present after crashing to naturally carbonate your brew.
