Fermenting Under Pressure

The X3 Jacketed Conical and IceMaster Max 2 work hand in glove from yeast pitching to cold crashing External cooling jacket with neoprene insulation allows for unparalleled temperature control for a homebrew fermenter Max 2 glycol chiller with digital controllers and built-in submersible pumps provides quiet and efficient chilling Insulated tubing sets eliminate line sweating and feature dry break quick disconnects at the cooling jacket connection points High-quality, stainless steel table with rolling casters saves space in your brewery and can be easily moved whenever needed The BrewBuilt Ultimate Chilling package includes everything you'll need to maintain a precise level of temperature control throughout the fermentation process. The X3 Jacketed Conical is second-to-none in homebrew-level cooling capabilities—mirroring the fermenter design that professional brewers have long relied on to keep their temperatures in check. And what better unit to provide the cooling solution than the IceMaster Max 2? This low-profile glycol chiller provides all the cooling capacity you'll need and is compact enough to ride shotgun on the included stainless steel work table. X3 Jacketed Uni Conical & IceMaster Max 2 The X3 Jacketed Uni Conical offers cutting edge design features that have long been reserved for pro-level fermentation tanks. Circulating cooling solution through an external cooling jacket offers superior cooling power when compared to internal cooling coils, and eliminates the need for cleaning a wonky apparatus after you've transferred out your finished beer. This pressurizable fermenter also sports a neoprene jacket for added insulation, Flex Chamber collection container for yeast harvesting or trub dumps, internal floating racking tube for clear beer transfers, and so much more! The IceMaster Max 2 makes for the perfect tag team partner, providing all the cooling capacity you'll need for small-volume batches. And with two built-in submersible pumps with independent controllers, you can always add a sidekick fermenter and control both batches simultaneously. BrewBuilt Insulated Glycol Tubing Kit In addition to the conical and chiller, the kit also includes an insulated tubing set that improves chilling efficiency and eliminates line sweating. The kit consists of: 1 - Insulated Tubing Set (2 x 6' lines) 2 - High Temp Plastic Female QDs w/ 3/8" Barb* 2 - High Temp Plastic Male QDs w/ 1/2" MPT* 2 - 1.5" Tri-Clamps 2 - 1.5" T.C. Gaskets 2 - 1.5" T.C. x 1/2" FPT Adapters *These premium quick disconnects feature shutoff valves that provide a "dry break" when they're disconnected. That means no cooling solution leaking all over your brewery every time you take the system apart for cleaning. The Female QDs are installed on the insulated tubing, and the Male QDs are installed on the T.C. x FPT Adapters that connect to the cooling jacket's inlet and outlet. Stainless Steel Work Table The heavy-duty stainless steel work table is the final piece that makes this the Ultimate Chilling Package. Saddle up the X3 Conical and IceMaster Chiller to reduce the footprint of your brewery. And with the swivel rolling casters installed, you'll have easy mobility to move your setup if ever needed.  Please Note: Avoid moving the table while the Conical is resting on top or in use. This can lead to injury or damage to the conical and surrounding area. The table cannot accommodate the 25 or 38 gal X3 conicals.

Ferment under pressure with precisely tuned pressure settings Pressure fermentations help to suppress unwanted esters Make clean lagers faster and at higher temperatures Easy-to-read etched pressure scale from 15 to 30 psi Hand adjustable—turn clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower your setting Made from 304 stainless steel with polycarbonate cylinder MB is a brand dedicated to crafting and sourcing high-quality, professional-level brewing supplies The MB T.C. spunding valve will give you the highest level of accuracy when fermenting under pressure. Designed for use with any pressurizable stainless steel conical with 1.5" T.C. top ports. For larger units, the spunding valve can also be integrated into the blowoff pipework and used with a pressure gauge and tri-clamp tee. The polycarbonate cylinder that surrounds the spunding valve can be filled with water or sanitizer to keep your tank 100% sanitary throughout the fermentation process. Adjustable from 15-30 psi Made from 304 stainless steel 11.75" H x 4" Ø For Your Safety: Never exceed the maximum rater working pressure of your vessel at any time during operation. The fixed-pressure PRV on your conical should always remain in place while using this spunding valve.

Ferment, carbonate, and serve finished beer all in one vessel Pressure ferment as high as 25 psi to reduce esters and produce clean lagers at ale fermentation temps Extra-large draining sediment bottle allows you to drop out hop matter and yeast throughout your process Avoid oxidation by skipping the kegging process entirely—simply hook up your draft system to the lid's ball lock posts! So the first thing to understand is that this is a Unitank - you will be fermenting and serving from the same vessel. The lid has an adjustable pressure relief that you can set to different pressures. More on that later while we first talk about why we are so high on these...   The #1 reason we love the BrewKeg Unitanks is that they eliminate kegging day, which saves a bunch of time. The Brewkeg50 is perfect for a 10-gallon batch, with plenty of headspace for vigorous fermentations. When fermentation is done, crank down the temp, remove the yeast/trub collection ball and start immediately drinking because the beer is already carbonated. Since this is not the standard brewing process, stop and think that over - you don't need a separate night or hours on a weekend morning to clean and keg. You are going to save 2 or more hours with every batch! Plus, you are skipping the most oxidative step in brewing of going from your fermenter to your keg. Yes, the one down side is that your fermenter is tied up as a keg but to many of us who really love brewing our own beer but are time challenged – the sacrifice is totally worth it.   Another great time saving feature is that you can skip wort cooling and 'hot pack' these kegs, literally filling them after boil at around 190°F. Stick them in your refrigerator, let them cool overnight, and pitch yeast the next day. Hot packing is gaining a lot of traction and we suggest you google the term to learn more. It’s been a standard practice in Australian homebrewing for years.  We've been fermenting under pressure for years now with various pressurizable conicals, and if you want to make amazing lagers quickly you need to try it. Fermenting under pressure reduces esters and even beers fermented between 65-80°F have amazing German lager malt profiles. We've fermented a beer under pressure with WLP001 at room temp and all the tasters thought it was lager yeast. The pressure relief assembly, located in the center of the lid, is the slickest out there and adjusts from no pressure up to 25 psi. Leave it open for no pressure fermentations of ales and IPA's where you want the esters. Close it down to make amazing lagers under pressure, quickly.   Features: Made from stainless steel Conical base Extra large, easy to remove sediment ball Includes stainless steel stand 25 psi working pressure & built in relief valve 40 psi maximum pressure rating Ferments clean and clear beer from 64-82°F Beer is carbonated perfectly at the end of fermentation Beer ready to enjoy sooner Eliminates kegging Easy to clean and sanitize Does not include wheel set pictured in the manual Dimensions: Height: 34.7 in. Diameter: 15.6 in Actual Volume: 60L (15.85 gal) Please note: the BrewKeg50 is too tall to fit in one of our kegerators.

Ferment and serve from the same vessel—no need to transfer from fermenter to keg Low profile design fits inside a standard kegerator which can be used for fermentation temperature control Fermenting under pressure allows you to ferment with lager strains at higher temps while reducing esters Made from stainless steel with conical bottom Extra-large collection container for harvesting yeast or dumping sediment The #1 reason we love the BrewKeg Unitanks is that they eliminate kegging day, which saves a bunch of time. The Brewkeg12.5™ is perfect for a 3-gallon batch, and with the low profile, it still fits in a standard kegerator, which can be used for fermentation, as well as serving. When fermentation is done, crank down the temp, remove the yeast/trub collection ball and start immediately drinking because the beer is already carbonated.
