I have a fermzilla and pressure connectors so this is my first attempt at fermenting under pressure (allowing it to carbonate in fermenter) and then will use the pressure when it is done fermenting to push through a 1micron filter and into bottles and since it will already be carbonated, I won't be priming with sugar before bottling. I'll update notes along the way.
I also wanted it to be higher than 6% ABV (I mean, this is an IPA after all) so I added 1 LBS of corn sugar to wort after boil which made SG go from 1.061 based on original recipe to 1.069 after boil.
UPDATE 2021-02-10 17:50:00PST:
So after about 2 days of primary fermentation, a seal broke and lost all my pressure after it got up to about 15PSI. I left it alone, dry hopped two days ago.
I bought a CO2 tank and adapters so I can re-pressurize a couple days before bottle but brew shop is closed so I got impatient and bought some dry ice and threw in 1/2LBS into Fermzilla fermenter. Was able to repair the leak from what I can tell while the pressure was building back up. Was able to attach a spout to fermenter and pour some into test tube for SG reading after about 30 minutes of carbonating from dry ice. Poured into test tube pretty carbonated, SG came out to 1.006 after testing multiple times and confirming temp was at 68F. Tasted pretty good actually! I might just do the dry ice trick every brew a couple days before bottle to carbonate. I am also going to attach a water sediment filter with a 5 micron filter before bottling to clear the beer.
