After years in development, we feel we have the best small batch size stainless steel conical fermentor on the market.  This model is a 15 gallon volume which has plenty of headspace for batches to 13 gallons.  All of our fermentors are fully welded and polished internally and externally. This version features a glycol cooling jacket and is fully insulated. 

The Features That Make Our Fermentors Unique

  • Massive 2" bottom dump valve.  While a 1.5" dump should be considered the minimum size to be effective, it's often clogged by more flocculent yeast or trub sediment high in hop or protein material.  Even though 2" valves and fittings are more expensive, we felt this was the best overall size to reduce any chance of clogging the dump, especially when you're trying to recover the yeast after racking off the weight of the beer. 
  • Our lid design is a simple and easy to use Tri Clover compatible cap.  No large and awkward lid with a proprietary gasket to deal with, Tri Clover Compatible gaskets are readily available and affordable enough to keep extras on hand.  Our 15 gallon model has an 8" lid for easy cleaning. The lid features a 3" Tri Clover Compatible access port that mounts the included 1" blow-off fitting and can mount our 3" Tri Clover Compatible CIP Spray Ball. The lid also includes two 1.5" ports for addition accessories.
  • Triple Sealed rotating racking arm.  All of the higher end conical fermentors on the market have a rotating racking arm, but most are dependent on just the TC gasket to seal it.  When you loosen the clamp to rotate the arm, you're faced with a tricky balance of loosening it enough to rotate without it leaking.  We've solved that issue by adding 2 additional o-rings ahead of the Tri Clover compatible clamp attachment, eliminating the leaking issue and isolating that joint from your wort.  The o-rings are captured on the arm itself so they are easily removed for cleaning and sanitizing.  The ferrule on the body of the fermentor is a standard 1.5" ferrule with no special machining.
  • Separate 1.5" Tri Clover Compatible temperature monitoring port includes a thermowell and dial thermometer or replace it with one of our TC flange-mounted temperature sensors for BCS-460 / BCS-462 or BrewTroller control.
  • Includes a sample valve on a dedicated sample valve port.

Fermenter vs. Fermentor; what's the difference?

For years now, we have seen both terms used interchangeably on web sites and forums. In order to be technically accurate, we did a little research to find out the difference between a fermenter and a fermentor. It turns out that a fermenter is an organism that causes or performs fermentation. A fermentor is the container or apparatus in which fermentation occurs. So your new fermenter is actually a fermentor and yeast is the fermenter! Does that make your wort the fermentee? I think this requires some more research.

Does not include a glycol chiller or cooling source.

Please note that if you do not select the option for the $75 lift gate charge at the time you place your order and require a lift gate, the trucking company will add COD charges at the time of delivery that can be several hundred dollars!  THIS IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL AND WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU ONCE THE SHIPMENT LEAVES OUR WAREHOUSE! Please select the $75 option if you need a lift gate.

If delivering to a residential address, the freight company will call ahead to schedule a drop-off time. The freight company may not call ahead to commercial addresses so if you have a specific time that is more convenient please leave a comment or you may be liable for a holding charge from the freight company if they have to store it.

    This 15 gallon Jacketed Fermentor is straight up bad ass!!! Totally a mini pro set up. I have mine set up in my garage in Las Vegas, NV and hooked up to a chest freezer filled with 45 gallons of glycol @ 28 degrees. No problems maintaining fermentation tempatures or cold crashing in a 90 degree garage. Brewer's Hardware needs to get an actual picture of this fermentor up to do it justice. I will be picking up another one in the near future!!!
