How to Fit Straps to your FermZilla Pressure Fermenter

Introduction

These straps are a simple and effective way of tethering your FermZilla to the included metal stand. This makes it much easier to move the FermZilla by picking it up by the handles and having the base move with it. 

Without the straps you'll either need someone else to move the stand for you, or you'll have to find some other way to sit the FermZilla in place while you move it - not an easy thing to do given the round base of the FermZilla!

Unfortunately the straps don't come with any instructions on how to fit, so I made some myself.

Instructions to Fit FermZilla Straps

Follow the steps below to attach the straps

1. Get FermZilla Ready

  • Sit the FermZilla in it's stand
  • Put the straps onto the Fermzilla, starting with the large opening that goes around the lid/collar

  • Untangle/untwist the straps so they are straight

2. Secure the Straps

  • Run the length of the strap under the metal base support and back up to the clip
  • Feed the strap through the clip from the underside - use the upper gap as pictured below

Feed the strap up through the bottom

  • Feed the strap back down through the gap at the bottom of the clip and pull tight

Feed strap back through the gap and pull tight


  • Repeat the above steps for the other 2 straps/clips

3. Tidy Up

  • Secure any excess bits of strap with rubber bands - especially useful if you are using the 35L FermZilla (as the straps are universal so they can also be used with the larger 65L FermZilla)

Secure excess strap ends with a rubber band to make it neater
