The Fermenator

The Fermenator is an impeccably designed product line for the brewing enthusiast. Its features provide commercial brewery functionality at a consumer good price. It is easy to use and loaded with standard features. The standard 7 gal., 14.5 gal., 27 and 42 gal. gross capacity sizes are perfect for 5, 10, 20 and 1bbl (31gal) batches!

100% Stainless Steel   No need to pay extra to upgrade your Fermenator to all stainless. Everything that touches your beer is heavy gauge stainless steel.  No need to worry about what options to buy…it’s all standard equipment!!



Features:

Weld-free Interior Guaranteed 100% Leak Free!!!   Stainless o-ring retainers hold o-rings firmly in place, eliminating any chance of rolling or leaking. The sealing design is identical to hydraulic systems under thousands of PSI. 

Easy to clean weld-free fittings   All fittings used for the bottom dump and rotating racking arm are stainless steel high quality industrial fittings, not make shift hardware store parts and pipe fittings.  And unlike welded fittings, ours can be removed for easy sanitizing by sanitizer, boiling,  autoclaving...whatever.  And our competitor's welded-in fittings can't be replaced if they get accidentally damaged or wear out!  Like tri-clover (sanitary) fittings, ours use a gasket too (in our case an o-ring) but since our fittings can be removed from the tank they are even easier to keep clean!

Last, but not least, the weld-free fittings allow you to orient the dump valve in any position you want, not where it happens to end up when tightening a welded fitting....such as facing the rear of the refrigerator!

Rotating Racking Arm   That’s right!  The rotating racking arm is standard equipment!!  Just like the Craft Brewers huge conical fermentors.  This feature allows you to start your siphon with the racking arm horizontal, and rotate it slowly downward until you just start picking up yeast sediment. Clearly the best and only way to siphon clear beer!  And using the racking arm prevents wasting any beer or carrying sediment into your kegs which happens if you use the bottom dump to rack the beer. This exclusive design utilizes stainless flare fittings which can’t hide bacteria like compression fittings can. 



Patent pending lid hatch  - easy sanitary access to your fermenting beer.
  Minimizes exposure of the fermentables to oxidation and bacterial contamination when dry-hopping or adding finings as opposed to removing the lid entirely.  This generous size opening also makes it much easier to pitch yeast than pouring through the small stopper hole.
 

Patent Pending Bolted leg system - higher strength and spotless interior  New channel shaped legs offer improved strength and appearance.  An exclusive welding process is utilized to install fasteners on the tank wall leaving the interior of the tank absolutely flawless and superior to TIG welded designs where weld distortion (rippling) is unavoidable.  And the legs can be replaced in minutes if they are accidentally damaged!
 

New!! Pressure Capable Stainless Lid    Just like the big breweries,  use CO2 pressure to pump your finished beer up to 6ft above your fermenter to your kegs.  Eliminates the need for elevating the fermentor above the kegs or bottling bucket.   Ideal for chest freezers.   Not intended for carbonation.

Improved lid seal - excellent sealing and long life. Patent pending.  Exclusive bead molded into the seal profile offers improved sealing on the tank lip further protecting your fermentables from contamination. Top quality silicone material has improved bond strength and temperature capability for long life.  And the softer material conforms better to the irregular tank surface for outstanding sealing capability. Far superior to all competitive seals!
 

New!!  Folding Handles - fold neatly away when not in use and stay connected to the unit at all times!

 The 24 gal. unit cannot be moved when full due to the sheer weight of the unit.  When empty, all units are light enough to easily be carried by the handles.

Ultra Low Profile Design   The Fermenator can easily be placed in a full size refrigerator or freezer for maintaining fermentation temperatures at a fraction of the cost of immersion coolers which can run well over $600. And no worry about sanitation!

Leg Pads   Plastic leg pads protect your counters and refrigerator from scratches.

Why Buy Conical Stainless Steel?

Stainless steel is extremely durable and the easiest material to sanitize.  It is impervious to heat (well, up to 2000 F anyway), won't shatter like glass, and won't scratch, discolor and harbor bacteria like plastic.

The conical "uni-tank" offers many advantages to carboys

  • Dumping cold break & trub takes a couple minutes
  • Collecting wort samples is quick and completely sanitary
  • Can easily harvest yeast
  • Pressurizeable for CO2 pumping
  • Impervious to UV light that causes "skunking" in beer
  • Large open top makes scouring and sanitizing the interior a snap
  • The rotating racking arm allows siphoning completely sediment free beer
