Collection Container Removal
It is extremely important that if you have wort in the collection container attached that you keep
the butterfly valve open during the entirety of the fermentation process.
The butterfly valve should
only be closed once fermentation has ceased which is to be determined by three consecutive days of
the same Specific Gravity Reading.
To remove the collection container once fermentation has ceased it is important to depressurise
the entire system.
To release the pressure in the vessel, open the butterfly valve and pull the ring on
the PRV until there is no audible hissing from the PRV. It is also a good idea to loosen one of the
carbonation caps on the collection vessel to ensure the collection vessel is completely depressurised.
Once the system is depressurised the butterfly valve can then be closed if there is liquid in the
FermZilla. Then the lid and collection container can be detached from the butterfly valve by
loosening the tri-
clover clamp which holds the 2” tri
-clover lid in place.
