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

- 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
