Fermenator all-stainless steel conical fermenters eliminate the need to transfer beer or wine from a primary to a secondary. You can dump trub and yeast sediment without transferring the beer, easily sample the wort, harvest yeast, and, unlike simple conicals, the rotating racking arm lets you siphon out completely sediment free beer.
The Fermenator features a completely smooth, weld-free interior that eliminates the possibility of welding cracks or pits harboring bacteria. The leg mounting bolts are welded to the outside of the cone, with an exclusive welding process that leaves no trace on the smooth interior. In addition, the Fermenator features weld-free removable stainless steel fittings and valves, sealed by an easily replaceable O ring (several spares included). Unlike welded-on fittings, all parts can be removed and soaked in iodophor sanitizer between batches for a very thorough cleaning.
All Fermenators features a sturdy stainless lid with a seal that withstands up to 7 psi for C02 pumping of the beer, very handy when you want to get your beer out of a chest freezer. One person can lift the 7 gallon Fermenator (for 5 gallons of wort), while two people are required to lift this 14.5 gallon size (for 10 to 12 gallons). The lid is solid stainless steel, with a secure silicone sealing gasket , and adjustable lid tension for positive sealing. The lid features an airlock hole that fits a #7 stopper (airlock and stopper included). An exclusive access hatch is also included in the lid, letting you add dry hops, finings, or fruit without removing the entire cover. Optional leg extensions allow you to elevate the Fermenator for easy keg filling. The standard legs feature plastic pads to avoid scratching counter tops and refrigerators.
The exclusive low profile Fermentor design avoids unnecessary protrusions, and is made to fit in standard refrigerators easily. See the dimensions at right to see how much refrigerator space you will need. Get a spare refrigerator and a William’s Controller to make a temperature-controlled fermenter at an economical price. We believe the Fermenator offers the best value in a no-compromise, high quality conical fermenter. Everything needed is included, and all components are of food grade stainless steel. Nylon hose barbs are included to adapt both valves to 3/8” or 5/16” diameter tubing.
Exclusive swing out handles make the Fermentator line the most compact of all stainless conicals. This 14.5 gallon model will fit into a refrigerator that is 24" wide, 19" deep, and 37" tall.

Common Question: Can I brew 5 gallon batches in this 14.5 gallon conical? I want to brew mostly 10 gallon batches, but still brew an occasional 5 gallon batch.
Answer: Yes, you can brew 5 gallon batches in this larger fermenter and have them come out well. If you do this, it is a good idea to purge the airspace with C02 from your kegging system. To do this, sanitizer the fermenter and then spray in C02 from your kegging system with the low pressure dispensing hose, or from our D37 Cartridge Injector. To check if you have enough C02 in the fermenter, light a match and lower it into the fermenter. If it goes out, there is plenty of C02.
