Mine fits nicely in the larder fridge, I can attach the Brewbuilt collection jar when it is in the fridge, saves a little on height and can use it for dry hopping, trub collection and bubbling CO2 through to rouse hops or yeast.

Has anyone tried dry hopping in the Titan? I’ve seen the videos that describe a dry hopping port, but it looks too small to be of any use. Otherwise a very nice looking bit of kit

Not yet but hope to do so next week. I think with a funnel it will be ok, if a little slow. Will bubble Co2 whilst doing it to try and limit any oxygen ingress.
 
Can anyone advise, does the Titan take the same lid as the All Rounder?
I'm looking at my next fermentation vessel and would prefer not to have to replace all my current all rounder 'extras".

The lid is different to a Fermzilla All Rounder, but it's it's the same lid as the Keg King Apollo range.

What add-ons do you have that you'd want to transfer over?

Just my 2" tri-conical lid so I could use existing hop bong and butterfly valve etc. All 2" triconical so there may be an adaptor available for the Titan.
 
There is rumour of Keg King doing an SS lid with a trim-clamp port in.

I've added a 1.5" butterfly valve and a 1.5" - 2" triclamp adapter to the bottom of mine so can now stick a flex chamber on, can dry hop that way as well as collecting yeast easily and bubble CO2 to rouse. There's a pic of the set up a few posts up.

Where did you hear this? Would be amazing. Although would probably mean I'd need a new fridge 🤔
 
First brew bubbling away nicely and purging a keg of StarSan. The 12mm ply shelf I made with a cut out to operated the dump valve and mount the flex chamber was too flimsy so have used a couple of floor boards for now. Will cut a new shelf from 18mm ply instead or put some legs on the 12mm one.

It's a bit of an effort to get the FV in as my brew fridge is quite narrow, might keep an eye out for a 60cm one. Still very tempted by the KegLand fermenting chamber but it's an awful lot of cash!
 
Angel Homebrew have listed theirs at £480, so £100 more than the Apollo.
 
If it comes with all the fittings, that's probably a better deal.

Edit - Found it now and it does. Bargain.

Definitely wouldn't fit in my fridge though.
 
How did the dry hop in the Apollo go? It looks like it might be quite time consuming with the funnel. I would still be very interesting in one if they did the tri-clamp lid though

It was a 104g addition and took maybe a minute. I bubbled a couple of PSI of Co² through the gas disconnect whilst adding the hops.

It was fine and recommend going slow otherwise the funnel will clog

No sign of oxidation.
