Couple bowties and nearing finish....no extra wait for carbonating. When the ferminting is done ....its ready.

First batch using second fermzilla pressure kit. Most of my plastic ball lock QD do not fit and one post leaked from the top of the post.

Great accessory for fermzilla. Stainless steel a little hard to get a good seal read reviews to buy the plastic. I was able to get a seal with a little keglube and snug up with a faucet wrench.

Shame this isn't standard for this vessel

I had no problem with the seal it’s taking them apart to clean that’s the problem. The are incredibly difficult to disassemble and reassemble. Thin flathead required and is easily bend in the process. Other then that it works fine

Great kit!! Makes things really easy when you want to transfer to a keg with no oxygen contamination!! Also works great to ferment under pressure!!

Works good but you have to pay attention to how tight you screw these connections on otherwise they can leak when over tightened.
C
shipping a little expensive for mail

works well wouldnt be without it

Was able to leave most of the trub in the Fermzilla and pull sediment-free beer from the surface.

Great Buy. Love it. Love Homebrewing

Ferment under controlled pressure, crash, carbonate, chill, serve from the top and even harvest yeast all using one tank. Well made at an affordable price. I use mine for rapid production of clean-flavored lagers and other lighter beers.

OK it works and I do recommend this thing to transform your Fermzilla to it's evolutionary peak as a Unitank. BUT as with all engineering feats, it requires a bit of final checkout. DO the youtube pressure testing first. Fool that I am, I did not. Tra-la-la it will probably work... No. My Fermzilla ended up leaking wort from the trub-jar caps. Worked fine on unpressured fermentations before, but now we're pressurized baby. And you need high pressure at ferm temps to cool to a fully-carbonated state (PV=nRT). Tightened the caps up by hand and it stopped. Then I had to get the new & improved 2.4mm Fermzilla O-ring to stop the cap leak at the top. They've all shipped with this post-Nov2019 but I got my 'zilla earlier. Worked like a charm with this pressure kit.The floating dip tube, as you will have read, requires a couple stainless washers added to keep the tube in the drink. No big deal but learned the hard way with a dip tube in a keg. Get some ball-lock hardware to work around both of these pressure set caps being gas diameter (see my picnic tap on a gas BL). Homebrewing is a hobby which takes thought, and this pressure set is a worthy hobby goal. Overall, now that I've dialed it in and ironed out the wrinkles, it's awesome!

Worth buying if using a closed loop system

Adds a lot of function to the FermZilla would recommend.

Ball locks would not fit the plastic faucet kit that I bought at the same time. Had to purchase addition ball locks to make this work for me.

Plastic ones just as good?
I purchased SS kit but I don't see any difference in how they perform. Save your money
Yea. I don't notice a difference.

What is the ID of the silicone tube?
I think it is 1/4 inch.
Silicone tube ID: measured 0.23” assume it’s 0.25” (1/4”) OD: measured 0.36” assume it’s 0.375” (3/8”) Wall: measured 0.063” (1/16”)

Hello - would these fit on a standard 5 gallon corny keg to replace the existing fittings?
No they work with any of the fermzilla fermenters or a soda bottle. however they leak terribly at the seal for that reason I recommend the plastic ones.
Yes
No. They are meant to fit soda bottle openings.
No they threaded (female) so for example you could screw on a 2liter bottle of soda
No they are wider than corny posts

Are the ball lock fitting gas (gray) or beverage (black) size?
Both gray gas size. Gotta work around it. Start using flare fittings if you don't already they're interchangeable.
Gas
I understand them to be universal. Meaning they will take both gas and liquid ball locks. That’s been my experience as well.
They are both stainless. But yes ball lock on both the gas in fitting and Bev out
Gray
You can put both gray or black ball lock fittings on each post. The barbs for the tubing is 1/4" which is more common with beverage tubing (black)
Both the gas in and serving outlets are gray gas sizes. We also have a gray ball lock for the spunding valve when we use it. We use a beer gun to fill bottles from the serving side hooking it up to the gray ball lock and it works fine.

Are the ball lock attachments included in this kit the same thread as the KG500/Carb Caps?
Hi Brandon - The ball lock body connects will be included.
