Cleaning the stainless steel conical fermenter

October 15, 2017 / Joseph / 1 Comment

I have been brewing for quite a while now and over the years I have purchased a lot of home beer brewing equipment. This 7 gallon stainless steel conical fermenter may be my best home brew purchase. Initially when I started out home brewing, I was fermenting in 6 gallon glass carboys. I would use two of them, one for primary fermentation and the other for secondary fermentation. They were heavy, took up a lot of space, were difficult to move around, did not shield my homebrew from light, were a pain in the ass to clean and I had broken at least 2 of them over the years when they either cracked or the top sheared off when coming in contact with the ground. Worst of all was knowing that if I had dropped one while relocating it that I was probably in for a trip to the hospital because those broken fragments of glass are sharper than knives.

This SSBrewTech conical fermenter on the other hand is honestly the perfect fermentation vessel for home beer brewing in my opinion. It holds 7 gallons of fermenting beer, wine or cider; which is the perfect size for a 5 gallon batch. It allows you to both dump trub and harvest yeast via its large 1.5″ valve at the conical base, it has a rotating racking arm, which I upgraded to MoreBeer’s ultimate racking arm. That is an upgrade that I would highly recommend.

It does not allow light to come in contact with your home brew, you can conduct CO2 transfers to eliminate any contact with oxygen, comes with a thermowell for temperature regulation, fits in most chest freezers (if you reduce the leg size) and is incredible easy to clean. In addition to that it is inexpensive for a high end piece of stainless steel home brewing equipment. MoreBeer currently has them on sale for just $399 and they ship for free! If you are looking to buy a stainless steel conical fermenter, they can be purchased here.

I have been using mine for I think right about 2 1/2 years now and it has been worth every penny that I paid for it. It is high quality and the handles on the side are welded strong, so I never need to worry about one busting off, even when it is fully loaded!

Availability: In Stock
Coupon Description: Williams Brewing currently has a promotion going on that will save yo 15% on your order of Cryo Hops when you purchase 8 packs or more. If you love beer with a hop forward taste, you should try these cryo hops! These hop powder pellets from Cryo Hops are a new concentrated natural hop product that imparts twice, thats right, 2x the hop aroma of standard pellet hops for the same weight. This means LupuLN2 is ideal for late hop additions to build up hop aroma and character in IPA and Pale Ale beer styles. It reduces hop fiber material in the wort, allowing a brewer to pack even more hop flavor and aroma in to an IPA without losing as much wort to hop pellet absorption. LupuLN2 also tends to reduce the ‘grassy’ effect a large amount of normal strength hop pellets can have on a strong IPA when added late in the boil or at flame out. These amazing Cryo Hops are available in Ekuanot, Simcoe, Mosaic, Cascade and Citra!

This stainless sparge arm also ships free! So what makes the ultimate sparge arm so great? Well to start, the sparge arm assembly is made completely of stainless steel and silicone. It is also highly versatile and features two adjustment points making it compatible with just about any all grain home brewing setup out there. One of the adjustment points permits you to raise the sparge arm up or down inside the kettle to accommodate different amounts of grain and different mash tun heights. This is especially great if you are considering upgrading your kettles down the road. The ultimate sparge arm is also ideal for sparging as well as recirculating your mash in a RIMS or HERMS system! It’s wide mouth means no grain will clog it up like is the case with many other sparge arms. Here are some of the features of the More Beer Ultimate Homebrewing Sparge Arm:

Heavy gauge, food grade stainless and silicone construction
Built in ball valve allows you to easily adjust the flow rate
Included check ball will prevent back flow
A single, large diameter outlet port trickles onto a stainless disc, which distributes sparge water gently and evenly. This port is also much easier to flush out and keep clean than many other sparge assemblies with multiple small holes that grain gets stuck in during recirculation
Stainless tube measures 18.5″ from the top to the bend, and 8.5″ from the bottom to the center of the distribution disc.

Coupon Code Date: 8-2-2017 to While Supplies Last
Promotion Details: Brewer’s Edge Home Brewing System For $299
Promo Code: BREWERS EDGE
Product User Rating: 5/5
Availability: In Stock
Coupon Description: If you are looking to break in to home brewing and want an economical all grain home brewing setup then this is the home brewing deal for you! Williams Brewing is offering the Brewer’s Edge all in one home beer brewing system for just $299. The BrewersEdge is a simple an compact home brewing system that has high end features such as digital temperature control and electric heating. The Brewer’s Edge eliminates the need for an outdoor burner or even a 220 volt circuit. The Brewer’s Edge home brew setup plugs right in to any standard 110 volt household outlet. The Brewer’s Edge Mash and Boil’s exclusive double wall stainless construction conserves heat to achieve a rolling boil with only 110 volts and its precise thermostat and internal home brewing sparge basket lets you mash and boil in the same vessel. A typical brew day with the Brewer’s Edge Mash & Boil home beer brewing system begins with formulating your 5 gallon all grain recipe and then heating your strike water to 162° F, the preset heat temperature. The just mix your crushed grain into the sparge basket already inside the Mash and Boil. The mash will cool to 152° or so, and then you set your thermostat to 150°, cover, and let mash for 1 hour. After one hour, lift the sparge bucket and lock on its included legs, and let the malt sugar drip into your Mash & Boil, which has now became a boiling pot. Turn the thermostat up to 218° F and prepare for your boil. Now remove the grain basket, and when the boil begins, add your hops as per your recipe. Boil for 1 hour, and then cool with a suitable wort chiller, or use the stainless valve with ½” hose barb to run the wort through your external chiller. The Brewers Edge homebrew system also features a delayed start timer, so you can program the Mash and Boil to turn on up to 24 hours after setting. For example, load it with strike water, and have it set to be hot when you come home from work to save time. Intended for 5 gallon batches, maximum capacity is 7½ gallons.
