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 sanitary Tri-Clamp (tri-clover type) 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. The Tri-Clamp valves feature an easier to clean interior than standard ball valves, and stainless nipples with sealing disks for sanitation.
The Fermenator features a sturdy stainless lid with a seal that withstands up to 3 psi for C02 pumping of the beer, very handy when you want to get your beer out of a chest freezer. 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 below to see how much refrigerator space you will need. Get a spare refrigerator and a Williams 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. Stainless hose barbs are included with the Tri-Clamp valves for attaching 1/2" interior diameter tubing. This 14.5 gallon model will fit into a refrigerator or freezer that is 24" wide, 20" deep, and 37" tall.

Pros:
|
I bought one of these after brewing one batch in a glass carboy. Imagine never having to rack to secondary again, never use a racking cane to fill your bottling bucket again, simple cold-break removal, easy yeast harvesting, easy cleaning (no more stupid carboy brushes), and a great racking arm that helps you get nice beer into your bottling bucket with no trub. If you're into kegging, you can transfer to a keg right from the fermenter in one step. You never have to worry about light getting in. I put mine on 3 stacks of bricks to get it high enough off the floor. I also put a fermwrap on it with a temperature controller. I'd buy this thing again in a heartbeat.

Cons:

I honestly can't think of anything I'd change about this beauty. It even comes with fold-out handles so you can move it easier.
