This listing is for one of our stainless steel heated fermentation vessels capable of holding 500 litres in total and brewing around 400-450 litres of Kombucha, Kefir, or any other endothermic fermented drink. We have been supplying tanks such as this for 7 years now and have found them to be very good indeed for brewing. We spent many months designing and testing these tanks until we were happy to supply them to commercial brewers.

The fundamental difference between this fermenter and our beer fermenter range is that this vessel allows the user to raise the temperature of the fermenting liquid. That is particularly important for Kombucha production because the Scooby that is used in the fermentation has an optimal temperature of 30C, which is much higher than the ambient level (even in summer). Our system has a self contained heat source to gently raise the level inside without using high temperature immersion elements, which would kill off the culture before it had completed the fermentation.

A stainless steel plate is fitted inside the inside of the tank, through which warm water is passed.This creates a heat exchange effect, and the user is able to chose the exact level that the fermenter will operate at. The control of the system is achieved by use of a digital wall box which is connected to the tank and can read the internal temperature to an accuracy of 0.1C. Also included in the system price is a dedicated pump, seperate heated water tank & all necessary pipework. The best part is that this system is totally automatic and needs no further input from yourself.

  Two taps are included, one connecting to the centre of the base, the other 50mm up the side wall. A conical bottom to the tank ensures that every drop of liquid can be emptied from it - we use the side tap to allow us to run off our finished beer whilst leaving behind the yeast in the cone. The tank, including the base, is clad in 50mm of insulation which is then covered in another layer of thermal wrapping. The result is a superbly efficient vessel that will keep ferments at your desired temperature be it high summer or the depths of winter.

The dimensions of this fermenter are:

850mm wide

1600mm tall

  Please feel free to visit our plant to see this. We invented this system and are extremely proud of what it could do for your brewery, even if you're in the planning stage still. Please note that these tanks are in stock at our facility and are ready for collection/delivery. Some vendors will only import these tanks from Europe once you have paid in full. You can collect this yourself, or we can deliver it on a pallet for £59.

 Some of our other listings are for plain (unmodified) tanks which we can fabricate to your own spec. It is also possible to convert these plain tanks into other brewery vessels such as HLT, kettle, etc. Please get in touch for details and prices.
