Description
CONICAL FERMENTER – UNITANK
The conical fermenter is a vessel designed to produce high-quality craft beer. Often referred to as an “Unitank” by brewers, the conical fermenter can be used for fermentation, maturation and sedimentation. With a special fitting, it can even serve as a brite tank for beer carbonation.
What makes this beer fermentation tank special is its tall conical bottom. Thanks to its funnel shape, it separates and collects sediment. After the primary fermentation you can simply discharge the unwanted sediment, leaving the beer inside the tank.
There are many benefits to using the conical fermenter, for example you don’t have to transfer to another tank between primary and secondary fermentation and risk oxidation. More importantly, you don’t need to have another tank wasting precious space. It also allows you to easily collect and reuse yeast, saving lots of money in the long run.
A large, dimpled jacket on the coat and a plate on the conical bottom make sure the temperature inside the conical fermenter is always optimal. Thanks to the vertical construction of the cooling jacket, the stored liquids will be efficiently chilled even if the tank is not full to the brim.
Durable, high-quality materials enable the beer fermentation tank to stay in pristine condition, even after years of professional usage
