This
15 gallon Conical Brew Kit is an exclusive offer from Learn To Brew and
includes all the equipment you need to get started homebrewing
excellent beer in a cylindro conical fermentation vessel just like the
pros! No other kit is like this one. The
products included in the Superior Kit were selected by our professional
brewers to give you the best brewing experience possible and will help
you make the best beer possible right from your own home.
Why
is this kit setup the best available to home brewers? This kit allows
for single vessel fermentation. This means you will brew your primary
and secondary fermentation in the 15 gallon conical fermentation
vessel. With the regular carboy or bucket kits you have to transfer
the beer from one container to the next. Moving the beer around
dramatically increases your chances of contaminating the beer with
unwanted bacteria or wild yeast. Transferring the beer also increases
the chances of oxidation. With the conical fermentation vessel you
eliminate the need to transfer the beer and because you are not
transferring the beer you will save all the set time to prep and clean
an extra carboy. Instead you take that time saved to enjoy another home
brew!
The kit includes:
- 15 Gallon Cylindro Conical Fermentation Tank
- 11.5” Food Grade, Alcohol Filled Thermometer
- 1 Large Nylon Mesh Grain Bag
- 1 Drilled Rubber Stopper
- Cleanser
- Three-Piece Plastic Airlock
- Food Grade Vinyl Transfer Tubing
- Triple Scale Hydrometer with Instructions and Plastic Case

Easy to Clean and Sterilize
All popular cleaning and/or sterilizing agents can be used on our
plastic (HDPE) fermenters. They will not harm the inert plastic
material. Water at 180 degrees is an excellent sterilizing agent; pour
it down the sides of the fermenter. The heat will sink into the plastic
and all the parts, killing bacteria. This procedure works with
stainless also. The large top makes it easy to get inside and scrub
dried trub with a Teflon scouring pad. The melting point of plastic is
250 degrees.
No Scratches Worries
One need not worry about tiny scratches in plastic or stainless. There
are two answers to the problem and both are easy. The first is to do
nothing. Sterilize with hot water. The second is to remove the scratch
by cutting down the sides with a dull knife. Draw the blade toward you,
scraping away the plastic. Grinding and buffing scratches in stainless
steel is more complicated.
No Secondary Transfers
No need to transfer wort or wine to a secondary fermentation vessel. It
is safer and less work to transfer the lees and dead yeast cells from
the bottom while you leave the fermenting process above untouched.
Fermenter Design and Shape
The precise shape of the 60 degree cone and top cylinder (one unit wide
by one unit high+) are fermenter design perfections developed over the
years by dedicated brewers looking to improve taste, consistency and
ease of use. The shape positions the yeast and convection does the
rest. The mixing motion of the currents assures complete yeast wort
contact. The yeast near the cool sides will sink and, upon hitting the
conical bottom, is forced into the center where it is warmer. Active
yeast tends to give off heat. The hard working warmer cells rise to the
top and spread to the sides to complete the cycle. Dead yeast cells
will drop to the bottom and are removed quickly and easily (about 30%
are alive) for disposal or reuse.
Precise Temperature Monitoring
Thermometer threads on the MiniBrew System brand of fermenters are
located near the middle of the wort for precise temperature monitoring.
A screw-in plug is included. Two different HBE thermometers are
available and sold separately.
Valves included
The 1/2" racking port threads are located on the side cone just above
the settled yeast level. The port valve is for sampling, specific
gravity reading and, of course, racking to bottles and kegs. The valve
at the apex of the cone is for filling the fermenter and draining dead
yeast. The thickest of yeast will flow through this large valve.
ALL THIS without
lifting a carboy, siphoning risk or breaking glass. Now small batch
brewing is easy and professional. Carboys, plastic buckets, converted
kegs and stainless are history. They just do not provide the benefits,
flexibility, ease of use and low cost.
