This works great. 27 liter unit in garage in 100 degree weather. Using a cooling coil keeps fermentation at a consistent 66-68 degrees with no problem.

It fits the 27l like a glove. Looking forward to lagering using this to keep the temp down. Should be able to fine tune temp as needed.

Easy budget temp control on Fermzilla. Hot water bottle raises temperature A few degrees, ice bottles lower a few degrees
J
Excellent product kept my fermentation at temp even when shop was 20 degrees

Looks great on the zilla !

Works great with the cooling coil.

Makes cold crashing easy.

The product has good insulation value but the zipper is cheap garbage. The zipper is really hard to get started correctly without it pulling apart and going off the rails. If they used a ykk or quality equivalent for a zipper this product would be great.

I had been wrapping my FermZilla in a thick blanket, but this is so much more convenient! Putting it on the fermenter was easy thanks to the drawstring at the bottom, doesn't let it flap open too far, and just slid it right down from the top. It fits the fermenter with little excess space. I expect to to really help keep the heat from my heat pad underneath. I've always been nervous about having a heat mat touch a blanket, less so with this foil and nylon jacket.First use was with Lutra on a pseudo-lager and it kept 82-85 for the two days of active fermentation (no temp control) and dropped to 68 when I hit FG removed it. Maybe not the best example for the jacket so far, but I expect it will be great as it gets colder in my basement and I use more temperamental yeasts. It certainly let this kveik rip though!

Too big for the all rounder but it works really good

It’s working like a charm! Keeping the temp right where it’s supposed to be.

Very east to put on my SS brew bucket. Easy to take off to do my dry hopping and re-install. insulates very well.

I use this with my 17L Fermzilla (5G batches) and like that it covers the fermenter completely from top cap to bottom of base. I have a small heating pad under the fermenter and the jacket allows the small heater to keep things warm in the winter (with fermenter in my CA garage.) It's zippered like a jacket, so it can slide over the top or be wrapped around and zipped up.

Very well made product, well worth the purchase.

Excellent product. Fermented my beer in the garage and maintained an even temperature.

Can't wait to see how it works when I try to cool down myFermentation. But great so far.

Will this fit the 30L Speidel plastic fermenter?
You can do like someone suggested for using it with the All-Rounder and roll up the bottom of the jacket like a pair of high water pants😁 or put something under the Speidel to raise it up.
The Speidel fermenter is 18.5" high at the shoulder. The jacket is 29" high at the shoulder. Unless you have the Speidel up on a stand it will not work well. I suppose you could cut 10 inches off the bottom of the jacket.

Will this insulating jacket fit the FermZilla All-Rounder 30L?
It fits around it and zips down but is about 6 inches too long and has to have the bottom edges rolled up to be used with the stand that comes with the All Rounder.
It fits around it and zips down however it is about 6 inches too long and has to have the bottom rolled up like highwater pants to be used with the stand that the All Rounder comes with.

Could someone describe how you bottle directly from this? Can you attach a tube with a bottle wand to one of the ports in the collector?
This is the he insulating jacket. It just helps maintain the temperature of the Fermzilla inside. For the Fermzilla itself you can use the transfer ball that will pull from the top so when you bottle it will be as clear as you let the beer get. You will probably want to use a CO2 tank to push the beer through at a low pressure.
This jacket goes over a fermenter to act as an insulator. There are many ways to bottle out of the fermzilla (the fermenter under the jacket) by either using pressure fermentation to provide a pushing force or gravity feeding as usual. You can actually attach a ball lock fitting to the bottom container and bottle fill using the correct fittings if you dump the yeast first.

How do you use the FermWrap with the Fermzilla and the Insulating Jacket? I thought the Fermzilla couldn't use a heater because it's plastic.
I would not use the FermWrap. It is too wide to fit the FermZilla and it is rated at 40 watt. Kegland suggests under 30 watt is safe. I used 4" wide reptile heat wrap for my FermZilla. That is 22 watts and I have had no problems.
If you read the fermwrap it is a low watt heater more like a heating pad not enough to effect plastic
