  • FerMonster 3 Gallon Ported Carboy FerMonster 3 Gallon Ported Carboy

    FerMonster 3 Gallon Ported Carboy (Spigot Not Included)

    6 reviews

    Carboys are great, but they have some issues: They require funnels to get liquid in, and cleaning brushes to clean up after.  They hold a decent volume, but all are a bit undersized for fermentation, and have no inherent measuring system.  Glass Carboys are breakable, while plastic carboys scratch with the first brush cleaning.  The Fermonster leaves all these problems behind. These Fermonster Plastic Carboy Fermenters are made from heavy PET plastic, the same used in 2 L soda bottles, which is nearly impermeable to oxygen penetration. The huge 4" opening makes filling a breeze, and cleanup is as easy as wiping down the inside.  Glass carboys are fragile, and this is nothing like that.  The hefty plastic construction will hold up to brew day abuse. These fermenters are ported but do not come with a spigot. FE347 is the plastic spigot we recommend along with this fermenter. These fermentors are completely air-tight; the bodies constructed of heavy, oxygen impervious P.E.T. plastic, and the lids sealed tight with an O-Ring.  Additional O-Rings and Lids both with and without holes are available for purchase, see our You Might Also Need items below.   Features: 4" inner diameter wide mouth carboy - easy to clean! Food grade PET plastic construction is nearly impermeable to oxygen penetration No hard to clean dimples or ribs Punted bottom O-Ring and Lid with one hole is included (Fits #10 Stopper) Additional O-Rings and Lids available Weight: 1.5 lbs Temperature Limit: 140° F Height: 14.6 inches Diameter: 9 inches Completely taste and odor free Perfect for Beer, Wine, Cider, Mead, Kombucha or any other fermented beverage! Thick walls for better oxygen barrier. Please note: the pictured #10 Stopper (FE470VS) and three piece airlock (FE370) are not included.

    Plastic PET Carboy - 5 Gallon Ported (Spigot Not Included)

    1 review

    Made from BPA free PET, this 5 gallon plastic carboy is a great fermenter for wine that won't affect the taste or smell of your wine. Makes a great secondary fermenter as well because of its negligable oxygen permeability. Cleaning is made easy by its straight smooth sides. This fermenter comes with a hole 2 inches from the bottom to allow you to install a spigot to make racking much easier. We recommend our plastic bucket spigot (FE347) and you will also need the spigot installation tool (FE311A) to install the spigot. When cleaning, do not use a carboy brush as the bristles will scratch platic carboys giving bacteria a place to hide and multiply. A #10 stopper fits well in the mouth of the carboy. Does not come with spigot.

  • Speidel Rectangular Plastic Storage - 500 l (79.3 gal) - PLACEHOLDER

    Speidel Plastic Fermenter | Rectangular HDPE Storage Tank | 500L | 132 gal

    Heavy-duty HDPE plastic fermentation and stoarge tank Made from food-safe materials with extra thick walls to preserve the aroma of your beverage Rotating plastic spigot eliminates the need to use an auto-siphon or racking arm to transfer liquid Wide top port opening for easy cleaning Airlock & stopper included Made in Germany by Speidel The future is here today, and the future is HDPE Fermentation & Storage Tanks from Speidel. Made in Germany from nothing but undyed and food-safe plastic, these tanks are produced with particularly thick walls which preserves the aroma and the alcohol for a markedly long time. The stable carrying handles have been tried and tested for decades and are extremely durable. Are you tired of carboys? Hate siphoning to transfer? Wish you could ferment larger batches in a single container? Sick of lifting 50lbs by a small metal handle? Done with worrying about shattered glass, injury and lost product? Well then have we got the solution for you! These heavy duty plastic tanks offer a fantastic fermentation & storage solution at a great price. Key Features: Heavy duty HDPE construction is durable and resists oxygen transfer. None of the risks of working with glass. Small footprint and rectangular shape makes them easy to store - take better advantage of the space you have to dedicate to wine & beer making. Large lid opening makes them easy to clean by hand - say goodbye to your carboy brush! All ports seal with gaskets and the vessel can be fully sealed for long-term storage. Designed and manufactured in Germany by Speidel, the makers of our legendary commercial wine tanks 500 L size has 2 racking ports, one equipped w/ a Spigot, one covered with a cap. 46"L x 28"W x 43"H, 46.3 lbs FAQ: Can filled containers be carried by the handles? Depending on the weight—barrels up to 30L are no problem—60L is the limit and should not be carried when completely full. The handles have a weight capacity of 30kg (66 lbs). Is there an upper limit on the alcohol content of the stored liquid? In principle, there is not. However, it should be noted that the higher the alcohol content, the faster the seals and, to a lesser extent, the tank itself will wear out. Up to what temperature can the containers be used? For short periods of time the containers can withstand temperatures of up to 80°C (176°F). This temperature should not be exceeded. For longer periods of time the containers can be used at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F).

  • FermZilla All Rounder Fermenter - 30L FermZilla All Rounder Fermenter - 30L

    FermZilla All Rounder Fermenter | 7.9 gal. | 30 L

    44 reviews

    The FermZilla 30L All Rounder is the perfect fermentation vessel that can be used for fermenting under pressure, carbonating, and dispensing.  It's far more capable than the FermZilla Flat bottom but less complicated and less expensive than the FermZilla Conical fermenter. The key differences are that the All Rounder can be pressurized, unlike the Flat Bottom, but it does not have a dump valve like the FermZilla Conical. For fermenting under pressure or serving out of the All Rounder, we recommend using the Pressure Kit for 55L FermZilla and cutting the dip tube to the appropriate length. The pressure kit is available with either stainless or plastic ball lock caps. What's Included: FermZilla 30L All Rounder Fermenter Stainless Steel Stand Stainless Steel Handle Top Lid with PRV (35 psi) 3-Piece Airlock Adhesive Thermometer Graduation Sticker Specs: 30 L (7.9 gal) Total Volume Pressure Rated to 2.5 Bar (36.2 psi) Height in Stand - 21.7" Height w/ Airlock - 24.2" Tank Diameter - 13.9"  Lid - 28 mm PCO 1881 threads Temperature Rating: When not under pressure, do not expose to liquids above 131°F When under pressure, do not expose to any temperatures above 95°F* *Please note that the temperature rating for the FermZilla tank is lower when using it under pressure. When not under pressure, it is perfectly safe to transfer wort into the tank below 131°F or to use hot liquids below this temp for cleaning. When under pressure, make sure to keep your fermentation temperature below 95°F and keep the fermenter in an environment that is below 95°F ambient. This is especially important when fermenting with kveik yeast. These strains are known to ferment hot if no temperature control is being used. Exceeding the temperature rating may compromise the tank, leading to a shorter life span or sudden failure to maintain pressure. Even with proper use, we recommend replacing the tank every two years. Kegland Part number: KL15189 NOTE: FermZilla tanks are marked with a manufacturer’s “expiry date”. This does not indicate that the tank is bad after this date; it simply indicates that a hydro test may be in order. 2 years after production and every 2 years after first use, it is recommended that the tank be hydro tested to ensure the tank is holding pressure. Hydro test instructions are available here. You will also need the D1072 Green PRV to perform the test. If you do not plan to pressurize the fermenter, the test is not necessary.

  • Fermonster 6 Gallon Ported Carboy Fermonster 6 Gallon Ported Carboy

    FerMonster 6 Gallon Ported Carboy (Spigot Not Included)

    2 reviews

    The Fermonster is a brand new fermenter designed specifically for fermentation. MoreBeer! gave product feedback for over 2 years of development and we think they nailed the design. The large lid allows for easy filling and makes hop or oak additions a breeze. The smooth sides are fantastic for sanitization - no ribs or texture to collect yeast or bacteria.  The 6 gallon size is great for most fermentations, and the larger 7 gallon is available for even bigger beers. The punted bottom allows sediment to collect to the sides so that you can siphon liquid from the center.  Because they are made from virgin PET plastic they nearly unbreakable and a lot safer than similar glass carboys. Also notice the conical top which reduces surface area if you plan to store beer or wine long term.   These Fermenters are ported but do not come with a spigot. FE347 is the plastic spigot we recommend along with this fermenter. Made from heavy PET plastic, the same material used in 2 L soda bottles, which is nearly impermeable to oxygen penetration.  Due to the thicknes of the material and the overall geometry the Fermonster does not require ribs or dimples for stability.  That results in a super smooth interior surface that reduces yeast and sediment buildup making it the easiest to clean, most sanitary PET carboy on the market.  The huge 4" opening makes filling a breeze, and cleanup is as easy as wiping down the inside.  Fermonsters are easily moved by hand or consider using our Carboy Carrier for even greater ease of use. These fermentors are completely air-tight and the lids sealed tight with an O-Ring.  Additional O-Rings and Lids both with and without holes are available for purchase, see our You Might Also Need items below. Features: 4" wide mouth carboy - easy to clean! Food grade PET plastic construction is nearly impermeable to oxygen penetration No hard to clean dimples or ribs Volume Markers at 5 and 6 Gallons Punted bottom O-Ring and Lid with one hole is included Additional O-Rings and Lids available Weight: 1.5 lbs Temperature Limit: 140° F Height: 19.25 inches Diameter: 11.25 inches Completely taste and odor free Perfect for Beer, Wine, Cider, Mead, Kombucha or any other fermented beverage! Thick walls for better oxygen barrier.

  • Speidel Fermenter - Fermentegg (60 l) - PLACEHOLDER Speidel Fermenter - Fermentegg (60 l) - PLACEHOLDER

    Speidel FermentEgg Plastic Fermenter | Stainless Steel Valves | 60L | 15.9 gal

    Traditional design meets modern technology and materials Oval design allows for unhindered convection currents during fermenation Supports constant circulation—eliminating hot spots and leading to faster fermentations Smooth interior surface makes cleaning quick & easy Made in Germany by Speidel  The Fermentegg represents a new take on one of the oldest vessel shapes for winemaking. Oval vessels have been used to ferment and store wine for thousands of years, however Speidel's Fermentegg brings this concept to modern times with a lightweight yet heavy duty, food-safe polyethylene construction. The egg shaped vessel results in convection currents during fermentation, unhindered by corners or edges. This movement results in your beer or wine constantly circulating, with an end result of a more complex, yet unified product. Fermentations will generally complete quicker due to the motion of the product, and hot spots will be eliminated as the product remains at a homogenous temperature. Can be used to ferment wine, beer or even cider! Speidel has become known as a forward moving company in fermentation equipment and following in the foot steps of the Speidel Plastic Fermenter, the egg is very easy to clean because of it's smooth inside surface. Specifications: 60 l Capacity Height: 79 cm Width: 48 cm 44 lb Lid has a 38 mm hole which can be utilized for use with the Speidel Red Rubber Stopper and Airlock 2 x 3/4" BSPP stainless steel ball valves Included   Please Note: these vessels are recommended for primary fermentation and short term aging only. They are not pressurizable and may experience oxygen ingress if used for long term storage or prolonged aging.

    Due to high demand, this item is currently out of stock. Be the first to receive your items by placing a pre-order today. We will automatically ship this to you when we receive more inventory.   The Catalyst represents the future of fermentation simplicity.  Easy to clean, transferless, this is a time-saving piece of equipment which you'll be surprised by the value of.  Boasting a rich set of features, the Catalyst Fermentation System was designed for homebrewers, while keeping true to many pro brewing principles.  Not only will the Catalyst Fermentation System save you time and energy, it will improve the quality of your beer! The 45° Conical Fermentation Tank is made of a BPA free Medical Grade material, Tritan, which can withstand dishwasher cleaning and is incredibly resistant to scratches or other damage.  The entire vessel is designed to withstand boiling temperatures, so wort can be transferred straight from your kettle to fermenter without cooling if necessary.  Thanks to the integrated dump valve, trub can be dumped, allowing for primary and secondary fermentations to take place in the same vessel.  This reduces transfers and touches, not only reducing oxygenation of your beer, but also reducing the chance of contamination.  Once fermentation is complete, you can bottle from the same system using the included tubing adapter for the dump valve. Conical design forces yeast & trub down to the integrated harvester, reducing contact with your beer and improving flavor.  Yeast harvesting is accomplished using the integrated oversized 3" Butterfly Dump Valve & commonly available mason jars.  When fermentation is complete, cleaning is even easier.  The Tritan material used for the conical resists buildup, and since the entire lid lifts off, cleaning the conical is as simple as a quick rinse & wipe down.  We've found the Catalyst to be a solid piece of equipment that does the job of many pieces of brewery equipment.  If you're looking for a fermenter that covers you from brew day to bottling, this is the unit for you! Features: 6.5 Gal capacity 45° Conical angle Oversized 3" buttefly dump valve Silicone Gasketed lid for perfect fermenter seal Uses common mason jars as yeast harvester All steps on the cold side of brewing in one vessel: Primary, Seconday, Yeast Harvesting, Bottling.

Compared to the standard Europa model, the AQ model undergoes an additional pickling and polishing process. This process improves corrosion resistance, which is key for continuous use, especially in commercial settings like wine bars, taprooms, and coffee shops that might use the tank as a self-service water station. Pickling Specialized acids are used to remove any surface impurities, scale, rust, and weld heat-tinted layers. This crucial step eliminates potential corrosion initiation points and ensures a uniformly clean and reactive surface.  Furthermore, pickling promotes the formation of a passive chromium oxide layer, an invisible shield that protects the stainless steel from oxidation and enhances its inherent corrosion resistance. Polishing The pickling process is followed by a thorough polishing treatment. This creates an exceptionally smooth surface finish, minimizing microscopic imperfections where moisture and contaminants could become trapped and initiate corrosion. Polishing also refines the passive layer, making it denser and more uniform for superior protection. Beyond its practical benefits, polishing enhances the aesthetic appeal, making them suitable for even the most visible applications. Benefits The combined pickling and polishing treatments Sansone employs offer a multitude of benefits. The Europa-AQ model Fusti tanks exhibit significantly increased durability and longevity, withstanding harsh environments and frequent use. This enhanced corrosion resistance ensures the quality and taste of stored liquids are preserved, eliminating the risk of contamination from corrosion byproducts.

For Red Wines:
Red wines are fermented using the entire grape, skins and all. When making red wines, two basic criteria need to be taken into account:

  1. During fermentation, yeast create alcohol and CO2 gas. As the CO2 bubbles up through the wine, a portion gets trapped in the skins and causes them to float on the surface of the wine in a mass called "the cap". The cap actually lifts itself above the surface of the liquid and this causes the volume of must to expand in the tank. So, when filling red wine fermenters, keep in mind you will not be able to fill it to the top with must, you will need to leave enough space for the cap to expand into. Therefore, if you want to be able to ferment a set volume of red wine, you will need to size the fermenter slightly larger than the desired finished volume of wine.
  2. The skins in the "cap" will need to be rinsed with the liquid wine several times a day during the fermentation. For large volumes this is done with a pump in a process called a "pump-over" (because you are pumping wine over the top of the cap). For smaller volumes (up to 300 gallons), this rinsing/wetting of the cap is usually done manually using a specialized "wine punch down tool" designed for the job. Using the tool, you simply break-up the cap and gently stir it back into the wine. This process is called "punching the cap". In order to use the punch down tool, however, you will need to have access to the surface of the wine. Therefore an open-top wine fermenter (not sealed) is the way to go for fermenting small red wine lots.

For White Wines (as well as Rose and Fruit Wines!):
White wines are made using just the juice from the grape. The crushing and separation of the juice from the solids happens before the fermentation begins. Since we have no solids present, there is no need to punch the cap. However, white wines are very sensitive to oxygen exposure and whatever we can do to limit this is a good thing. For this reason open-top fermenters are not recommended and sealed containers are the best choice for making white wines. If you are making small lots (1-6 gallons), then carboys are the ideal white wine fermentation vessel. However, for larger lots you will need to look at a Variable Volume or sealed tank.
