Homebrew Time Saving Tip: Save Time with UniVessel Equipment
Part of Our Time Saving Homebrew Tips and our Homebrew Tips and Tricks Series
Time can be a big factor when it comes to homebrewing. Sure, it may be nice to spend sunrise until sunset carefully hand crafting a batch (or batches) of beer, but the practicalities of life can and do factor in when we’re deciding if we can brew a batch of beer. For your stage of life, time may not be a factor. If so, that’s awesome. For others, time saving tips and techniques could help you brew more often.
Save Time with UniVessel Equipment
- UniVessels are vessels that serve two purposes. Kettles that also work as fermenters and fermenters that also work as kegs. Using a single vessel for two things means less cleaning and saved time.
- Ferment in Your Kettle! Anvil kettles offer a FIAK (ferment in a kettle) add on that allows you to ferment directly in your kettle. This lets you entirely skip cleaning and sanitizing a separate fermenter. Combine this with the BIAB style of brewing and you have a single vessel mash tun, brew kettle and fermenter! Chapman’s Stainless Steel Fermenters – Search Amazon for “Chapman Fermenter” – Adventures in Homebrew – Austin Homebrew Supply – also function as a univessel brew kettle/fermenter.
- Serve in Your Fermenter! Kegmenter vessels act as both fermenter and serving keg. That means one vessel to clean instead of two – at MoreBeer, at William’s Brewing
