Inkbird Compatible Thermowell and Stopper

thermowell#10 Stopper and Thermowell for use with compatible PET Carboys and Chapman UniVessel Fermenters.  The stopper has two holes so that it can accommodate both the thermowell and an airlock.

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

This carboy thermowell is used in conjunction with the Inkbird Digital Controllers and many others, to more accurately regulate internal temperature during fermentation. It is exceptionally useful during the start of fermentation when the lag between ambient temperature in the refrigerator and actual temperature in the carboy can vary greatly. Now you can keep your beer or wine within one degree of the set point on your digital controller. Designed to fit either 3, 5 or 6 gallon PLASTIC carboys or any other similarly sized opening hole. The unit comes with a 15″ stainless steel thermowell and a #10 silicone stopper that will accommodate our sanitary filter, FIL90, as well. It can be used in any container with a stopper opening of this size where you need to accurately monitor and control liquid temperature.

New Oak Barrels – variety of sizes, worldwide shipping

eBay Seller nopal_verde sells a variety of oak barrels in a range of sizes.  Free engraving is available on some offerings. These ship from Mexico, but shipping charges are generally reasonable to the US.  They also ship worldwide.

Check the seller’s eBay listings for current price, description and availability.

The smaller sizes could be dual purpose.  You could mature a whiskey in it first.  After that you have a used whiskey barrel you can use to age a barrel stout or other homebrew.

Hands on Review Speidel Fermenters

German Made, Speidel Fermenters are available in a range of sizes 3.2 gallons all the way up to… 132 gallons.  Check out the full lineup including accessories and replacement gaskets.

I’ve owned a 5.3 gallon Speidel fermenter since October of 2011.  I use it for small batch BIAB beers.  I’ve been very impressed with that fermenter.  More recently, I picked up the 7.9 gallon version so that I can ferment full 5 gallon batches with all the same advantages.  This is a hands on review of both fermenters.

About X2 Uni From MoreBeer:

We guarantee you will love the fit and finish of the BrewBuilt X2 Uni Conical. Born of thousands of hours of research, contemplation, and development; the engineers and critical minds behind its realization scoured years of feedback from home and professional brewers alike to determine the ideal feature set of a stainless steel conical fermenter. Made entirely of 304 stainless steel with a mirror-polish finish inside and out, this unit is purpose-built to advance your fermentation process, improve the quality of your finished beer, and look good doing it. Available in three models: the X2 Uni, Uni+ and Jacketed Uni. No matter which path you choose, you’ll be well on your way to making higher-quality beer for years to come.

X2 Uni

The base model Uni offers the most affordable entry to fermenting with a BrewBuilt X2 Conical. Pick up the fermenter now and add upgrades at your own pace. You will love the premium feature set this conical has to offer right out of the box. Extra-large 2” bottom port and stainless butterfly valve makes dumping yeast and hop trub a cinch. The welded-bar reinforced four-leg base gives this unit an extremely sturdy, and there’s no need to add a bracing shelf if you choose to upgrade with rolling casters. The handles feature a molded silicone grip and stop half-way when they swing out so you won’t pinch your fingers when you pick up the fermenter. Other features you’ll love include etched internal volume markers, adjustable feet, sample valve, thermowell, and the unique Blowoff U Barb. With a host of premium upgrades and accessories available, you have plenty of options for improving and customizing the X2 Uni to best suit your needs and brewing style.

X2 Jacket Uni

When it comes to temperature control for a homebrew conical fermenter, in-solution cooling coils have long been the answer. It’s a simple, relatively inexpensive apparatus that can offer adequate performance in most scenarios, especially for fermenters in the home-level size range. But nothing compares to the performance you get with a jacketed tank. Once again, BrewBuilt looked to professional-level conicals for inspiration and decided it was long overdue for jacketed conicals to be readily available for homebrewers. Circulating cooling solution through the jacket provides your fermenting beer with added insulation from ambient temperatures, allowing for increased cooling capacity in warmer environments and cold crashing after fermentation is complete. The X2 Jacketed Uni also comes standard with the Flex Chamber, Pressure Pack, and neoprene jacket.

As of this positing, MoreBeer has a limited number of refurbished X1 UNI Conical Fermenters. Availability is limited, check link below to see if you can get in on this batch.

MoreBeer 6 Gallon Bucket w/Spigot and Sediment Filter [Fermentation or Bottling] – $15.99, BEATS 2018 Deal

Plastic Bucket - 6 gal. (With Spigot) FE345

6 Gallon Food Grade Bucket from MoreBeer.  Includes MoreBeer’s Sediment Block Spigot, which helps minimize trub uptake.  Spigot can be rotated up (if you use this as a fermenter) or down (if you use this as a bottling bucket).  Note that lids are sold separately.

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

A six gallon food grade bucket for fermentation or bottling with a built in spigot.  Outlet barb accepts 3/8″ ID vinyl tubing.  To use as a fermenter you will need to pick up the optional lid, stopper, and an airlock.  Includes our new Sediment Block Spigot, which will help minimize trub uptake as you rack after fermentation.  If using this as a bottling bucket, simply rotate the spigot to maximize product output.  Spigot includes gasket and sediment blocking lock nut and can easily be removed for cleaning and sanitizing.

If you use the bucket for fermentation be sure to use care when cleaning. Do not use any abrasive pads that would scratch. Once you get a scratch in a plastic bucket it is very hard to sanitize.  This is also why we don’t recommend storing equipment in a bucket between uses as a fermenter. A hot PBW soak is often a perfect way to clean a bucket, followed by a Star San soak for killing bacteria.

Please note:

  • Buckets are translucent and do not come with lids.
  • Buckets are not designed to hold pressure.
  • Lids are not gasketed and so do not always form a perfect, airtight seal. Not intended for long-term storage.
  • Food-Grade to 180° F

 

Limited Availability Deal of the Day: As of this posting, this is marked down to $15.99 as a MoreBeer Deal of the Day. Shipping is also free to addresses in the contiguous US with most $59 Orders. Availability: This is available today only, while supplies last.

Hands on Review: Fermonster Fermentors

Fermonster PET Fermentor

With all of the fermentor choices out on the market, there are plenty of good reasons to not be fermenting in that plastic bucket that came with your starter homebrew kit. Most of us make that realization when we can no longer fool ourselves into calling it “white”, and it carries the aroma of all the previous hop varieties it’s seen. PET Plastic fermentors are the logical next step up from the HDPE plastic buckets.

PET Is far less porous than HDPE. Because of that, it makes for a great oxygen barrier. As a material, HDPE passes through 50x the amount of oxygen over a given time than PET. So PET makes for better long ferments like if you’re lagering (or are just the forgetful type). Glass is an even better oxygen barrier, not allowing any oxygen to permeate it. But from a practical perspective, just like Coca-Cola figured out, glass is heavy and creates a nasty mess when you drop it. PET Is also cooler than that plastic bucket because the fermentor is clear, which allows you to view the exciting chemistry going on inside your brew.

The Fermonster comes in different sizes and options. They come as big as 7 gallons or as small as 1 gallon. And also intermediary sizes of 6 gallons and 3 gallons. You can get it without a spigot or with one if you want to do gravity beer transfers instead of using a siphon.

Hands on Review: Delta Brewing Systems Fermtank TC

Delta Brewing Fermtank TC

Stainless steel is the material of choice for brewing equipment in general. For fermentors, that is especially the case. It is an ideal material for a fermentor because of its cleanability. Stainless is resistant to staining, is durable for scrubbing, and compatible with different cleaners. In contrast to plastic HDPE buckets, stainless can keep oxygen out of your fermenting wort.

Delta Brewing Systems offers a handful of homebrewing products, selling them since 2019. They sell two versions of their Fermtank stainless fermentor. The two have a lot of the same core features, but the recently released Fermtank with Tri-Clamps ups the game in a lot of key areas. The most obvious difference to other fermentors is the 8-gallon size. That size is designed to allow extra volume into the fermentor for those batches where you have a lot of dry hop debris left over (and thus you leave more liquid behind than you normally would). On paper, an 8-gallon fermentor sounds like overkill for a 5-gallon batch, but it’s designed to support all kinds of variations to get you 5 gallons into your serving keg. There are volume markings etched inside, starting at 3 gallons. The optional chilling coil extends down to the 3-gallon level (meaning if you want to chill your wort, you need more than 3 gallons). The thermowell sits at 3.75 gallons.
