These amazing fermenters, made by Blichmann Engineering, provide professional brewery features for the serious homebrew enthusiast. With the interior racking arm you can safely sample wort anytime, harvest yeast, and rack completely sediment-free beer. The cone shape combined with a bottom dump valve allows the brewer to settle and dump the cold break for cleaner ferments. This bottom valve also enables you to discard the dead yeast and trub, eliminating the need for secondary fermentors!

Each fermenator is equipped with a pressure-capable stainless steel lid so you can pressurize and pump finished beer up to 6 feet above the fermenator. While not intended for carbonating, this allows easy, oxygen-free transfers to kegs or bottles.

Built into the lids is a corny-keg style access hatch which allows you to add dry hops or just take a peek at your beer during fermentation. The lid also comes complete with airlock and gasket.

Each fermenator has an extension leg option which allows the fermenator to sit higher than a corny keg allowing easy gravity racking.

Available sizes are 7, 14 ½, and 27 gallons; perfect for 5, 10, and 20 gallons (respectively) of beer, or 6, 12, or 24 gallons of wine (because wine creates less foam height). The compact design enables the Fermenator to fit inside refrigerators for temperature-controlled fermentation. The dimensions listed below do not include a recommended 1 inch additional space on all sides for maneuvering within a refrigerator. At least an additional 4 inches should be allowed above if you plan to use the lid hatch for dry hopping.

These are the only weld-free stainless steel fermenters on the market. Blichmann Engineering has created a unibody design that is one solid conical piece of steel so that no welded areas ever contact the beer. The interior is perfectly smooth and easily cleaned. The stainless steel ball valves and fittings (everything is included) are easy to remove and clean, and seal with simple O rings.

Finally, each comes with fold-down handles for easy moving. You’ll need a friend to help move the larger models.
