FermZilla Tri-Conical 55L Gen 3

FermZilla Tri-Conical 55L – Gen 3.2 Starter Kit (with Handle)

The FermZilla Tri-Conical Gen 3.2 is the latest and most advanced generation of Kegland’s PET conical fermenter range.
Now equipped with a moulded 3" Tri-Clover ferrule, a redesigned Tri-Clover butterfly dump valve, and a 600 mL Tri-Clover collection container, this edition delivers a cleaner, simpler, and more sanitary workflow.

Built for brewers who want the flexibility of stainless conicals at a far more accessible price, the FermZilla 55L offers full visibility of the fermentation process and the ability to ferment under pressure up to 2.4 bar.

Features

• Pressure-rated up to 2.4 bar — perfect for pressure fermentation and closed transfers
• 3" Tri-Clover top and bottom ports — sanitary, easy to clean, easy to upgrade
• 600 mL collection container — harvest yeast, remove trub, and clarify without transferring
• Transparent PET body — monitor fermentation visually
• Wide accessories ecosystem
• Large 12 cm opening — easy access for cleaning
• Simplified tri-clover dump system — easier, faster maintenance vs. previous generations
• Massive 55 L capacity — ideal for double batches

Important Safety Notes

• Maximum liquid temperature: 35–50°C (never exceed 35°C when fermenting under pressure)
• Always follow the assembly manual
• Keep out of direct sunlight (UV degrades PET)
• Perform a pressure leak test with water before every pressure fermentation
• Minor dents from shipping are normal and will re-form under positive pressure; only dents showing white stress marks warrant replacement
