FERMENTASAURUS COLLECTION BOTTLE
The collection bottle has several uses. Its primary function is to collect and harvest yeast
however it can also be used for other purposes such as:
1. Dry hopping bottle
2. Beer sampling bottle
3. Collection and disposal of unwanted trub or hop material
4. Pitching yeast
YEAST HARVESTING
1. In order to harvest yeast simply screw the yeast collection bottle onto the
Butterfly Valve. You can insert this bottle right from the start of fermentation.
2. Fermentation is no different to any other fermenter. Once the wort is inside the
fermenter pitch yeast as you would normally.
3. When the collection bottle has been fitted; open the butterfly valve so yeast
can fall into the collection bottle. The butterfly valve is open when the handle is
facing in the vertical direction and is off when in the horizontal position.
4. Chilling the fermenter will accelerate the process of yeast falling out of
suspension and will greatly speed up the clarification process. The easiest way
to chill the Fermentasaurus is by fermenting in a dedicated fermentation fridge
at -1°C for 3 days or more.
5. Before removing the yeast collection bottle from the fermenter, it is a good idea
to relieve any excess pressure in the fermenter.
6. Close the butterfly valve and grip the valve body to stop it from unscrewing from
the spigot. Unscrew the collection bottle. It is advisable to place a shallow tray
beneath the bottle when removing to catch any drips.
7. The full bottle and yeast can be capped and stored in the fridge for pitching in
your next brew.
