The Sspunding Valve from Ss Brewtech allows you dial in the precise pressure at which you want your Unitank fermenting. A spunding valve is essentially an adjustable pressure relief valve. Normal PRVs that are found on kegs, couplers and come stock on Ss Unitanks, operate as safety features that will release pressure when it's nearing dangerous levels. Spunding valves, on the other hand, allow you to set the release pressure much lower. Simply dial in your desired fermentation pressure, and the Sspunding valve will release excess pressure when it gets too high. The compact, non-scaled Sspunding valve will take a little extra time to set, but can be done easily enough using the gauge included on the Ss Unitank. Check out FE892Bfor the scaled version. The polycarbonate cup is designed to hold sanitizer so that the tank remains 100% sanitary throughout the course of the fermentation process. You can pair the spunding valve with a 1.5" tri-clamp tee (H666) and 90-degree elbow (H667), which enables the unit to be installed on the Unitank’s blow off arm, as shown in the photo. (Scaled version shown in example photo - FE892B). All 304 Stainless Construction Only for use with pressure rated Unitanks 1.5" TC interface Removable sanitizer cup Easy disassembly for cleaning Not for use on low pressure vessels (Chronicals, etc.) For Your Safety: Always leave the fixed-pressure PRV included with the Unitank in place. Never exceed the maximum rated working pressure of the vessel at any time during operation.

The Ss Grain Mill sports an all-in-one design, featuring a hi-torque DC motor combined with a leveraged gear reduction system that drives a series of billet aluminum pulleys and high inertia rollers that make easy work of the toughest wheat and rye malts — Capable of up to 350 lb/h
Differential Speed Rollers
Dating back to the early days of craft brewing, feed mills were often repurposed in breweries due to the lack of availability of milling equipment designed specifically for processing malt in brewing applications. Conversely, in a home brew settling, corona mills, and other repurposed mill designs intentioned for processing raw grain in a home kitchen were adopted for their ease and accessibility.
Naturally, if you're feeding livestock or making grits, you typically want to pulverize the grain. However, if you're brewing beer it’s preferable to crack the endosperm in several places and then sheer off the husk, keeping it mostly intact. This shearing and crushing action maximizes both efficiency and lautering performance, reducing or eliminating the need for rice hulls or other lautering aids. The two rollers inside the Ss Grain Mill are both driven by the onboard motor, but designed to rotate at different speeds. This key feature is at the heart of our purpose built mill designed for home and pro brewing.
Machined Fluted Stainless Steel Rollers
Other mills that are designed to pulverize grain, often rely on hardened steel knurled rollers to extend their usable life. The shearing action of the Ss Grain Mill places less stress on the roller to effectively process the grain. We settled on the more professional approach of fluting the rollers, which enhances the ability for the two rollers to engage the malt and effectively shear the husk from the endosperm. It was also important to us that this mill be functional in either a home or pro-environment, so we decided to cast the rollers in solid 304 stainless steel, with each roller weighing a robust 7.5 lbs.
Furthermore, the profile of the rollers has been completely rethought. Most small mills rely on a wide processing envelope and a small, 1.5-2” diameter roller. We have emulated the design of large production mills, and increased the diameter of the roller to 4”, and narrowed the processing envelope. This design increases the rotating mass, and stores rotational energy, which ultimately helps to smooth abrupt changes in rotational speed. Furthermore, the entrance angle is less aggressive with a larger roller, resulting in additional mechanical advantage.
Precision Gap Adjustment
Eleven points of adjustment ranging from 0.5mm to 2.0mm open up a wide range of malt products. Gap adjustments are tool-less and can be made without any disassembly, or complicated procedures.
Extruded Aluminum Chassis
The two piece extruded 6061 aluminum chassis promotes structural rigidity resulting in a more precise degree of roller alignment. This is important to retaining consistent roller gap settings from batch-to-batch. Furthermore, the two-piece construction isolates the motor and rollers in separate chambers, preventing the motor and drivetrain from accumulating dust and debris. All rotational pulleys, and rollers have their own dedicated fully sealed ball bearings for low drag and long life.
25 lb. Hopper Capacity
The Ss Mill will include a custom tooled 4mm thick ABS hopper that is both structurally strong and lightweight. Designed to hold up to 25 lbs. of grain at a time, the Ss Grain Mill has been clocked in prototype testing at processing roughly 350 lbs. per hour of barley malt. Which is roughly a 50 lb. sack every 8 mins, making it perfect for batch sizes from 5 gallons to 5 BBLs.

Upgrade your home brewery with an innovative, Stainless Steel, 7 Gallon Brew Bucket™ Fermenter! You will enjoy many of the benefits of a stainless conical fermenter but at a fraction of the cost and you are going to love how easy it is to use! Made by Ss Brewing Technologies from polished 304 Stainless Steel, the Brew Bucket™ fermentor is not only functional it is downright beautiful. At MoreBeer! we know brewing equipment and we truly believe this is a piece of equipment you are going to enjoy using every brew day.
We inspected and used the Brew Bucket™ and one of the most unique features that stood out is that the Brew Bucket can be stacked during fermentation, even with an airlock attached. We also like the conical bottom that allows trub to settle out in a concentrated space that minimizes the surface area of the trub that is in contact with your beer. The included Patent Pending Rotating Racking Valve is also a brilliantly simple design allowing you to rotate the racking arm inside the Brew Bucket down during fermentation to minimize trub, and later up to get clear beer when racking! Etched Volume Markers on the inside were super handy when filling and display in both Liters and Gallons.
The build quality is really amazing for the price. Welds are clean. The lid is strong and the spring loaded lid hatches are solid. The lid includes a removable, molded silicone gasket that ensures an airtight seal. We love an airtight seal so that we can be sure to see the airlock working. The welded on stainless handles make the BrewBucket fermentor super easy to move.

The Ss recirculation manifold is a nice gentle way to recirculate your wort. The manifold sits on top of the grain bed and evenly distributes the flow through 24 different holes on top of the manifold. Works great with our recirculation bulkhead fitting (BE386) and 1/2" FPT to 3/8" knurled hose barb (BE387). The manifold will fit in Ss Brewtech 10-30 gal kettles and mash tuns. It's 12.6" in diameter of 304 stainless steel with a 3/8" hose barb inlet.
Updating the iconic series of Chronical fermenters is not something Ss took lightly. The Chronical was a product launched in the earliest days of Ss Brewtech. It, along with the Brewmaster Edition that would join a few years later, has formed a core product line that has elevated the standard of what homebrewers have come to expect from a cylindro-conical vessel, and what homebrewed beer could be.
So, with a blank sheet of paper, they went to work designing the ultimate Chronical fermenter. Priority number one was to continue on Ss's mission to elevate every home product they offered to sanitary connections and valves. For the Chronical 2.0 they addressed that by adding a new welded 3/4" TC sampling port, and paired that with an all-new sampling valve based on the Pure Flow sanitary technology. Secondly, Ss redesigned the lid to use the Unitank's lid-mounted cooling coil system, which removes the side-mounted weldless ports from the Chronical BME. The Chronical 2.0's lid-mounted cooling coils extend further down into the fermenter, enabling users to ferment partial batch sizes.
Although Chronical 2.0 is a massive evolutionary leap forward, Ss also stayed true to the product line's core. The full-width lid, a revolution when the original Chronical launched is retained, the pro-inspired 60° cone, and bottom dump port is still here. And last but not least, the ever-popular neoprene jacket from the Chronical Brewmaster Edition is standard on Chronical 2.0. This means that every Chronical 2.0 has a coil and jacket included as standard.

Another great invention coming out of Ss Brewtech, the Keg WaSsher! This is a hands free, clean in place keg washer that will make cleaning kegs one of the easiest steps of the brewing process. Gone are the days of disassembling your keg to clean it.
The cleaning process is pretty simple. Just take the keg lid off, attach the keg washer, attach both ball lock QDs, stick the whole thing upside down in a bucket full of sanitizer, turn on the pump and your keg is clean.
The Keg WaSsher is designed to fit in a standard 5 gallon bucket. It also only uses 2 gallons of cleaning solution resulting in less chemical waste and evironmental impact. If you want to get fancy, you can set up a wash station with 3 buckets to perform an initial cleaning, fresh water rinse, and sanitizer. All you have to do is lift the whole apparatus from one bucket to the next!

The Unitank 2.0 features 50% more cooling surface than the previous generation for better cooling efficiency and crashing performance.
Manufactured with professional level quality that has been the standard for Ss Brewtech's professional-level Unitanks
New Ss Brewtech Racking Arm co-molded with the geometry of the valve body and TC gasket which prevents the arm from coming loose
Quickly carbonate beer in under 24 hours using the carb stone while precisely monitoring head pressure
Adding an optional Sspunding Valve to the Unitank gives the brewer the ability to ferment under pressure
An evolutionary step forward in homebrew technology. The Unitank 2.0 builds upon the venerable Unitank line by increasing the full body wall thickness from 1.2 to 1.5mm 304 Stainless Steel. Then we added a fully laser welded, professional-grade jacketed cooling solution to the already advanced feature set the original Unitank is known for. With up to 50% more cooling surface area, maintaining a stable temperature and crashing your beer has never been more efficient.
Jacketed Cooling
The benefits of jacketed cooling are numerous, and such engineering has become the standard in Ss Brewtech professional Unitanks for years. With Unitank 2.0, those same benefits are available to the 5, 10, 15 and 31 gal home or nano brewer.
When paired with FTSs Touch and Ss Glycol Chillers, the Unitank 2.0 can provide an uncompromised level of fermentation control. The increased surface area of jacketed cooling allows more precise temp control not seen in the home brew industry. Additionally, the added surface area allows the fermenter to crash cool in even the most challenging environments.
Another benefit of moving to jacketed cooling is that removing the coil makes the cleaning process much more straightforward. When used with the Ss Brewtech CIP ball, cleaning can be performed just as the pros do in craft breweries.
Staggered inlet and outlet ports for the glycol jacket help with even coolant distribution in the jacket. The rear-mounted thermowell cleans up the coolant control wiring for an even more professional setup.
Keyed Racking Arm
Like the Chronical 2.0, the Unitank 2.0 features a version of the new Ss Brewtech Racking Arm co-molded with the geometry of the valve body and TC gasket; this ingenious design captures the racking arm and prevents it from coming loose. Additionally, the keyed elements of the valve allow the brewer to know precisely what direction the racking arm is facing based on the orientation of the valve on the vessel. What's more, the Unitank valve is the same full pressure-rated valve used on professional Ss Brewtech equipment.
All the Valves & Ports
The Unitank 2.0 continues with all the beloved features of the original Unitank. On top of all the fully welded TC connections and pro features, the Unitank 2.0 allows the brewer to quickly carbonate beer in under 24 hours using the carb stone while precisely monitoring head pressure. After fermenting and carbonating, the brewer can perform a true pressurized and closed transfer to a keg or canning machine significantly reducing the chances of oxidation when compared to open transfers.
Higher pressure limits allow the user to dispense beer directly out of the vessel. Lastly, adding an optional Sspunding Valve to the Unitank gives the brewer the ability to ferment under pressure and gives them the option to use the final few gravity points left of active fermentation to naturally carbonate their beer instead of force carbonate. This feature set and flexibility are why pro brewers use Unitanks in their brewing and packaging processes.

The Brew Bucket was the first product and the origin of Ss Brewtech, and for many brewers, the Brew Bucket was their first chance to ferment in stainless steel. Nearly a decade later, Ss challenged their engineering team to pair some of the newest technologies with the original design.
Brew Bucket Pure Flow Valve
The star of the Brew Bucket 2.0 is the new Brew Bucket Pure Flow Valve. This valve uses Pure Flow technology, originally developed for the Ss line of professional brewhouses. The removable silicone membrane of the valve provides a sanitary environment where beer makes contact with nothing except silicone. Additionally, they have molded the racking arm geometry into the valve’s silicone diaphragm to provide a seamless flow path for beer when transferring from the Brew Bucket 2.0.
Sanitary Connection
The valve attaches to the Brew Bucket using a welded external garden hose thread fitting that allows for a compact, easy-to-use connection without the need to fumble with additional clamps and gaskets. The threads are located externally and sealed by the gaskets built into the Pure Flow silicone, keeping them clean and sanitary. With the new valve design, the brewer can fully rotate the racking arm 360 degrees for maximum control while racking a finished beer.
Conical Base
The Brew Bucket 2.0 continues what made the original a great solution for home brewers. The pro-inspired conical base helps minimize trub interaction with fermented beer, thus limiting any concerns of off flavors produced during maturation. Combined with the rotatable racking arm, brewers can effortlessly rack off clean beer like the pros do in craft breweries.
Full Width Lid
The Brew Bucket 2.0 features the same full-width removable lid as the original, with a wide access opening that makes cleaning and sanitizing a breeze. Finally, the included thermowell has been repositioned to the lid, and the increased length allows for accurate readings, even when brewing partial batches.

Automatically release pressure inside your fermenter during pressure fermentations Regulate beer flow during pressurized transfers from fermenter to keg Built-in pressure gauge for easy reference when adjusting the spunding valve Pressure gauge is interchangeable—swap to different pressure ranges that better suit your application Diaphragm spunding valves offer higher accuracy compared to spring & poppet spunding valves Comes complete with Duotight ball lock QD and rigid joiner With this complete kit you'll be ready to use the BlowTie 2 Spunding Valve right out of the box. The BlowTie is used to release excess pressure on a pressurized fermenter or from a receiving keg during pressure transfers. This diaphragm spunding valve is much more accurate than the spring and poppet style, and works much better at lower pressures. This version of the Spunding Valve Kit includes the Duotight Ball Lock QD which allows you to attach the BlowTie directly to the QD via the 8 mm rigid joiner. The BlowTie 2 can also be upgraded with a Digital Mini Pressure Gauge. Pressure Fermentation Pressure fermentation is becoming more and more popular at the homebrew level, but in order to do it safely and accurately, you need a way to release excess pressure. You'll pressurize your vessel to your desired psi, but once fermentation begins and those hungry, active yeast start creating CO2, the pressure inside the vessel will increase. Attach a spunding valve and set it to your desired pressure, and it will blow off when the pressure gets to high and close up again when it's back to your desired psi. Pressure Transfers Even if you don't have a pressurizable fermenter, you may have done pressure transfers from keg to keg during filtering or after fining. During pressure transfers, it's a good idea to have a bit of head pressure in the receiving keg, especially if you're transferring beer that is already carbonated. Having a spunding valve in place will allow you to consistently control the head pressure and give you more consistent results, without losing carbonation in the process. Diaphragm vs. Poppet With the poppet style spunding valve, a spring pushes against a poppet to keep the valve closed. When the poppet lifts up to open, the surface area the gas pushes against becomes larger, and the spring has to work harder to push the poppet down and reseal the valve. This can lead to more gas being released than intended, and the remaining pressure in your vessel may be at a lower psi than your spunding valve’s set psi. Instead of a poppet, the spring inside the BlowTie pushes against a diaphragm, which has an immensely larger surface area. This means the surface area that the gas pushes against while the diaphragm is closed is significantly closer to the surface area it pushes against when the diaphragm is open. This leads to higher accuracy, and the remaining pressure after excess gas is released will be much closer to your set blow off pressure. Kit Includes: BlowTie 2 w/ Integrated Pressure Gauge (0-15 psi) 8 mm Duotight Gray Ball Lock Disconnect 8 mm OD Rigid Plastic Joiner
The Vorlauf Arm Assembly is great for recirculating your mash. It fits right into the Ss Brewtech recirculation bulkhead fitting with a 1/2" knurled FPT locking nut. Made from 304 stainless steel.
Our new FTSs quick disconnect kit is the perfect way to increase the efficiency of your cooling system while also making it easier to detach your fermenter's chiller coil for easy cleaning.
The neoprene sleeve both insulates and wicks away condensation to reduce temp loss in your FTSs tubing. The sleeve is 10 feet in total length and can be cut to custom lengths to adapt to any FTSs setup. Once cut, use the included velcro strip to secure the sleeve to the quick disconnect fitting.
The quick disconnect fitting was custom tooled for Ss Brewtech with 3/8" hose barbs and features all EPDM seals, which maintain sealing properties at low temperatures. In addition, they include all stainless internal hardware, and integrated valves in both the male and female components to prevent spilling. These fittings work great with either glycol or chilled water from a cooler.

IP55 Water Resistant Rating: Ready to handle the messiest brew days and easy cleanup.
Magnetic Drive: Ensures smooth, efficient, and sanitary wort transfer.
360° Pro DIN Fitting: Allows for secure, sanitary, and easy connection with customizable outlet placement.
1.5" TC Center Inlet Head: Engineered for advanced brewing setups including mash recirculation and transfer.
Inspired by countless brew days in our garages and basements, as well as our experience in professional breweries, Ss Brew Pump is our take on a classic piece of brewing gear that is key to so many homebrew setups around the world.
Featuring an IP55 Water Resistance Rating, an easy-to-use DIN Head, Magnetic Drive, and 1.5” TC Center Inlet Head, Ss Brew Pump is engineered to tackle even the messiest of brew days!
IP55 | Water Resistant
Just like the high-quality pumps found throughout craft breweries, the Ss Brew Pump is IP55 certified and ready to handle the messiest of brew days.
From the Ground Up
Designing our own pump is something we have been eyeing for a while. Pumps are critical to any form of advanced brewing. From mash recirculation to transferring wort to cleanup, a quality pump is a key part of every brewday.
Years of working in professional craft brewing environments, where water-resistant pumps are the norm, made the foundation of our brew pump an easy decision. It had to be IP55 rated to handle the unavoidable messes that happen and the cleanups that follow them.
Once we unlocked the design for waterproofing, we turned to a laundry list of specs and features we wanted. That led to the creation of the Ss Brew Pump; one of our favorite products and now a staple in all of our team’s homebrew setups.
Magnetic Drive
It’s no secret that magnetic drive pumps are perfect for brewing applications. Instead of using a direct drive system where sealing off the wort from the drive shaft and motor is a major concern, Ss Brew Pump uses a high-end magnetic drive that allows for smooth, efficient, and sanitary operation.
360° Pro DIN Fitting
Commonly found on Pro Brewing Tanks, DIN fittings allow for a secure and sanitary connection that is also super easy to use. Unlike a TC connection, the DIN Head on Ss Brew Pump allows for a secure connection that applies even pressure on every bit of the silicone seal and is easier to remove and reinstall without having to fumble with a large clamp.
The DIN Head can also be rotated and secured in a full 360 degrees so that you can place the Pump’s outlet exactly where you need it for your brewing setup.
Note: Ss Brew Pump is currently not compatible with Legacy versions of Brew Cube | Pump Mount Plate Kit, Brew Cube | Valve Tree Manifold, and Portable Valve Tree. Ss Brew Pump uses a larger mounting plate and the bolt holes to secure it are in a different pattern than the Chugger pumps these products were originally designed for. We are working to update these products and plan to have them available soon.

A stable mash temp is one of the most important elements of the brewing process. The Ss Brewtech InfuSsion Mash Tun is the perfect choice for brewer’s looking to upgrade their aging plastic cooler. It’s built to last, made exclusively of 304 stainless steel and designed for those who want professional grade equipment and features for their home brewery. The double walled construction with injected high density foam insulation is incredible at mitigating temp loss and holding temperatures stable throughout the duration of a typical mash rest.
The venerable InfuSsion Mash Tun has been updated with TC ports throughout for easy integration with the rest of the Ss Brewtech line up. Additionally, the InfuSsion Mash Tun is the first Ss product to be released with the Patent Pending Pure Flow Valve platform. Fully sanitary, easy to clean, and micro adjustable Pure Flow valves are designed as the ultimate brewing valve.

Compatible with the new T.C. model and the original InfuSsion Mash Tun.
This kit is designed to include all the necessary components to use the recirculation bulkhead included with the InfuSsion Mash Tun for vorlauf and mash recirculation processes. To install the kit on a standard mashtun begin by installing the included 1/2" FPT x 1/2" Barb on the exterior of your mash tun's recirculation bulkhead. Be sure to use PTFE tape for a liquid-tight seal. If using the supplied kit on a TC mashtun, begin installation with included 3/4" TC to 1/2" 90 Barb, 3/4" TC gasket and clamp.
Next, locate the 3/8" knurled locknut, 3/8" silicone tubing, and recirculation manifold. Trim the tubing to your desired length, and then use the hose clamps to secure the two ends of the tubing to the manifold and locknut.
As a best practice, begin the mash recirculation for the first 5-10 mins using the vorlauf attachment to clear any small grain particulate and to set the mash bed, then swap the vorlauf attachment for the recirculation manifold for the remainder of the mash rest. Please keep in mind this kit is designed to use with a wort pump and an external heat source, such as a RIMS tube to maintain mash temps, which is not supplied.
Includes:
Recirculation Manifold
Vorlauf Attachment
3/8" Barb to 1/2" FPT Knurled Locknut
(2) 3/8" Stainless Hose Clamps
