Just thought I'd give my thoughts so far on the fermentasaurus kit I got from Malt Miller back in November.
I hadn't had a chance to brew before now, as we went on holiday shortly after receiving the kit. I ordered the optional pressure kit, as the idea of preassurising whilst brewing and also doing transfers to kegs without exposing to air appealed to me.
I brewed a Summer Lightning yesterday, as it is a brew I am familiar with, and it would be easy for me to see if there were any differences between standard fementing and doing it this way.
Well, so far so good. I have an adjustable pressure relief valve which I installed, but when we went to bed last night it was reading zero. This morning however it was reading 30psi! I quickly adjusted the pressure relief valve to drop it to 20psi - the max the fermentasuarus is supposed to have is 35 - so I got pretty close!
All in all, looking good so far, I will keep this thread updated as I go along
