Stainless Steel Fermentors and Tanks

Our Stainless Steel 18/10 (304) Variable Capacity Fermenting Tanks are manufactured by Marchisio of Italy. Fratella Marchisio is a leading company in the production of products and equipment for the commercial wine industry and home wine making industry. There products such as stainless steel tanks, stainless steel fermentors (fermenters), grape crushers and destemmers along with fruit presses are of the highest quality. The ones you purchase from us are the same ones sold to commercial wineries throughout the world. Our stainless steel tanks provide a versatile alternative for the home winemaker as well as wineries. Utilizing a floating lid, variable size batches of wine may be processed when the availability of ingredients is limited. Normal processing as well as long term storage and aging may be accomplished in these tanks. The variable capacity tanks are supplied with a floating lid which is held in place and sealed with an inflatable gasket similar to a bicycle tube. When inflated, the gasket seals the lid against the sides of the tank to provide a dust free and oxygen free environment. The tank is also supplied with a stainless steel ball valve with a tapered nozzle and a two stage waterless air lock which is threaded into the lid. These items are usually in stock and some can be shipped via UPS oversize while the larger sizes must ship by truck. Local pick up is available. Longest lead time is usually 2 weeks if not currently in our stock so please call ahead for pickup. Replacement parts are available. Stands are not included. Local pickup is available.

Blichmann CASTERS for 27 Gallon Fermenator complete with hardware.

(NO ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS APPLY TO THESE ITEMS DUE TO OUR DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT WITH THE MANUFACTURER) Blichmann Stainless Fermenator - Conical Fermentors. The Fermenator is a beautifully designed product for the discriminating brewer. Its features provide commercial brewery functionality at a consumer good price. It’s easy to use and loaded with standard features. The standard 7 gal., 14.5 gal., and 27 gal. sizes are perfect for 5, 10 and 20 gal. batches. Blichmann Engineering is committed to continuous product improvement, so design details may change from the photo's shown. Available only through Finer Homebrew Supply Retailers. FERMENATOR FEATURES = 100% STAINLESS STEEL: No need to pay extra to upgrade your Fermenator to all stainless. Everything that touches your beer is heavy gauge stainless steel. No need to worry about what options to buy…it’s all standard equipment. WELD FREE INTERIOR: The Fermenator is the only weld-free interior fermenter on the market!! No stress about bacteria hiding in weld cracks or porosity found in all welds. Even so-called sanitary welds. The surfaces of the Fermenator where the fittings penetrate are smooth (no weld ripples) so it is a snap to clean and sanitize. Although the weld-free fittings are more expensive than welded fittings, we think its well worth it for peace of mind and clean, bacteria-free beer. GUARANTEED LEAK-FREE: Stainless o-ring retainers hold o-rings firmly in place, eliminating any chance of rolling or leaking. The sealing design is identical to hydraulic systems under thousands of PSI. EASY TO CLEAN WELD FREE FITTINGS: All fittings used for the bottom dump and rotating racking arm are stainless steel high quality industrial fittings, not make shift hardware store parts and pipe fittings. And unlike welded fittings, ours can be removed for easy sanitizing by sanitizer, boiling, autoclaving...whatever. And our competitor's welded-in fittings can't be replaced if they get accidentally damaged or wear out! Last, but not least, the weld-free fittings allow you to orient the dump valve in any position you want, not where it happens to end up when tightening a welded fitting....such as facing the rear of the refrigerator! ROTATING RACKING ARM: That’s right! The rotating racking arm is standard equipment!! Just like the Craft Brewers huge conical fermenters. This feature allows you to start your siphon with the racking arm horizontal, and rotate it slowly downward until you just start picking up yeast sediment. Clearly the best and only way to siphon clear beer! And using the racking arm prevents wasting any beer or carrying sediment into your kegs which happens if you use the bottom dump to rack the beer. This exclusive design utilizes stainless flare fittings which can’t hide bacteria like compression fittings can. PATENT PENDING LID HATCH: Easy sanitary access to your fermenting beer. Minimizes exposure of the fermentables to oxidation and bacterial contamination when dry-hopping or adding finings as opposed to removing the lid entirely. This generous size opening also makes it much easier to pitch yeast than pouring through the small stopper hole. PATENT PENDING BOLTED LEG SYSTEM: Higher strength and spotless interior. New channel shaped legs offer improved strength and appearance. An exclusive welding process is utilized to install fasteners on the tank wall leaving the interior of the tank absolutely flawless and superior to TIG welded designs where weld distortion (rippling) is unavoidable. And the legs can be replaced in minutes if they are accidentally damaged! New!! PRESSURE CAPABLE STAINLESS LID: Just like the big breweries, use CO2 pressure to pump your finished beer up to 6ft above your fermenter to your kegs. Eliminates the need for elevating the fermentor above the kegs or bottling bucket. Ideal for chest freezers. Not intended for carbonation. And for WINE MAKERS, forms a 100% pressure and vacuum tight seal so no need for a floating lid! The sealing system is far superior to wine tanks and is completely impervious to oxygen. Most stainless wine fermenting tanks have a loose fitting lid for primary fermentation (to vent gas) and a floating lid for secondary fermentation (to prevent oxygen infiltration). This floating lid has an inflatable seal tire with a bicycle pump and must be checked periodically to be sure it hasn't deflated. It is also a source for bacterial contamination from the fermentation material on the walls of the fermentor. The blanket of CO2 on the surface of the wine from fermentation will protect the wine from oxidation. After complete fermentation has been verified remove the airlock and stopper and replace with a stopper with no hole. PATENT PENDING IMPROVED LID SEAL: Excellent sealing and long life. Exclusive bead molded into the seal profile offers improved sealing on the tank lip further protecting your fermentables from contamination. Top quality silicone material has improved bond strength and temperature capability for long life. And the softer material conforms better to the irregular tank surface for outstanding sealing capability. Far superior to all competitive seals! New!! FOLDING HANDLES: Fold neatly away when not in use and stay connected to the unit at all times!

(NO ADDITIONAL DISCOUNTS APPLY TO THESE ITEMS DUE TO OUR DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT WITH THE MANUFACTURER) Elevates fermentor allowing you to gravity drain the finished beer or wine into kegs or bottling buckets. Great if you don't have CO2 pressure available. Also much faster than connecting the CO2 gear up to the fermentor. PATENT PENDING BOLTED LEG SYSTEM: Higher strength and spotless interior. New channel shaped legs offer improved strength and appearance. An exclusive welding process is utilized to install fasteners on the tank wall leaving the interior of the tank absolutely flawless and superior to TIG welded designs where weld distortion (rippling) is unavoidable. And the legs can be replaced in minutes if they are accidentally damaged! (pictured fermenator and keg not included)
