DO YOU BREW LIKE WE DO?
This is our preferred configuration around the shop and we couldn't help but share it! So what makes is so special? It has the same basic functionality as the Advanced Brewer model, but includes a unique 2" blow off configuration with PRV/gas post which can later be used to build a dry hop kit. It also features a short-style sight glass as part of the bottom dump valve assembly - so we can peek in at the magic happening inside.
CONFIGURATION HIGHLIGHTS
- Top-mounted 2" TC blow off arm with butterfly valve for 100% oxygen-free operations
- 6" to 3" TC reducer + 3" to 2" TC reducer on main head port facilitates future upgrade to dry hop kit by simply adding a sight glass or extension spool
- 2" combination PRV/gas post for pressure transfers or dry hop kit purging
- Wide body 15 PSI pressure relief valve
- Sanitary sampling valve for testing and serving
- Rotatable racking arm with butterfly valve for hassle-free transfers
- 0-30 PSI pressure gauge for monitoring fermentation and carbonation
- 6" thermowell with cord-grip for temperature monitoring and cooling control
- 90 degree dump elbow with butterfly valve for easy yeast dumps and harvesting
- Full-view sight glass on the dump elbow assembly for visual yeast monitoring
- FREE GIFT: 5mm neoprene insulation jacket (quantities limited!)
- 8.8 gallon gross tank capacity offers an industry-leading max batch capacity of 7 gallons with 20% headspace margin
- Heavy-duty 3mm stainless steel full body wall thickness for maximum durability, corrosion resistance, and weight stability
- Built-in cooling jacket for precision temperature control (from ambient to near-freezing temps) for fermentation, cold crashing, and carbonation. Click here to learn more about built-in cooling jackets.
- 100% sanitary tri clamp system for contamination prevention, accessory versatility, and clean-in-place (CIP) capability
- 15 PSI operating pressure (30 PSI max pressure) enables natural or forced carbonation, pressure fermentation, and oxygen-free transfers to kegs or bottles
- 60-degree cone angle to help maximize settling of yeast and sediment
- Classic 3-leg design ensures natural stability vs 4 legs and maximizes accessible working space at conical bottom
- 6” main head port for easy access with optional 6” to 3” reducer for large dry hop additions, clean-in-place system (CIP), or floating dip tube assembly
- Three 1.5” head ports for full accessory flexibility, including blow off assemblies, PRVs, pressure gauges, spunding valves, and dry hop additions
- Two 1.5” ports on tank backside (and out of the way) for glycol IN and OUT connections
- Angled 1.5" port on side of cone for ideal thermowell reach and placement at center of tank
- Horizontal 1.5" port on side of cone for carbonation stone, lower thermowell placement for smaller batches, or optional heating element
- Front-facing 1.5" horizontal port on cone for sampling valve or other accessories
- Front-facing 1.5" angled racking port enables maximum reach into cone when paired with a racking arm
- 2” bottom dump port for racking off yeast and sediment (pre or post fermentation) and optional sight glass for improved visibility
