KL20312 FermZilla Flat Bottom - 30L Fermenter Home Brew Beginners Starter Kit with 20 x 500mL PET Amber Bottles.
This awesome kit is the best way to get into home brewing. This starter kit is great value for money and takes advantage of the FermZilla's simplistic base design.
6 Reasons to Get the FermZilla Flat Bottom is Superior to other HDPE and PP Fermenters
1. Super Smooth
The PET is super smooth making it easier to clean. Other HDPE fermenters have very porous wall meaning krausen sticks to the walls and the holes in HDPE are large enough for bacteria to grow in the wall of the fermenter.
2. Better Oxygen Barrier
Some fermenters like the Coopers type are not even airtight and have a loose-fitting lid allowing oxygen to get into the fermenter easily. Other fermenters are often made from HDPE that has high gas transmission rate meaning oxygen can pass through the wall of the fermenter
3.New Bottle Filling Tap Design
The new bottle filling tap removes the need to siphon which many users found tedious. Simply angle the fermenter over the end of a table and wedge it up on the back to get as much clear beer as possible without picking up all that yeast.
4. Lightweight and strong
?The FermZilla fermenters are lightweight but really strong and shatterproof.
5. Convenient Lid Opening Size
?The opening at the top is 120mm diameter so its easy to get your arm into clean but also small enough that it's easy to seal the lid with minimal force.
6. New Ergonomic Lid Design
?Extremely strong lid that can withstand being lifted while full. It doesn't require an o-ring or thread tape, just tighten down and lift carefully.

What we would also recommend that you get:
a) Extra PET Bottles for a full batch. We weren't able to fit all of the bottles you need in the box. But lucky we sell them in slabs! KL19866 - 24 x 500mL Amber PET Bottles
b) Stainless Steel Handles, for easier cleaning if you want to tip and pour out the Flat Bottom tank the stainless steel handle accessory is just that added bit of care not to get cleaning chemicals on your hands-> KL13079 - FermZilla Stainless 304 Handle
c) Carbonation drops or sugar (dextrose) to carbonate/prime your bottles OR Bulk Prime your fermenter pre-bottling.
d) One of our beer kits to get started. We have these fresh wort kits that are really awesome, alternatively, we have these Muntons kits from the UK which are also really good. Or, if you don't mind making a bit more effort then you can try one of these recipes that we have here.
SPECIAL NOTE:
This fermenter has not been pressure rated and it's not designed to ferment under pressure, pressure transfer or carbonate in. If you are looking for a pressure rated fermenter that you can carbonate in then we would recommend that you go for the "FermZilla All-Rounder in 30L or 60L" Or "FermZilla Conical Uni Tank in 27L and 55L" models. For this reason, we have not supplied this tank with a PRV valve and do not recommend putting it under pressure by modification.
WARNING: This fermenter is only rated to temperatures of 45C. Ensure to cool any liquid down to below this temperature before pouring in to the fermenter. If you need to dissolve extract syrup with boiling water, make sure to cover the syrup with sanitised foil or the sanitised lid of the can while cooling and cool down to below 45C in an ice bath for example.
