This product is available in two models: DB-45 with a 45 L capacity and DB-115 with a 115 L capacity.
Both models are made from 304 stainless steel (304 SS), a food-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless commonly used in brewing equipment.
DB-45: approximately Dia 45 x 124 cm, weight ~20 kg. DB-115: approximately Dia 50 x 100 cm, weight ~26 kg.
These conical fermenters are suitable for fermenting beer, wine, and whiskey (distilling uses require compliance with local laws). They are designed for typical alcoholic fermentations.
The standard description does not list an integrated jacket or cooling system. You can use external temperature control methods (e.g., glycol jacket retrofit, cooling jacket accessory, immersion chillers) or ask the seller about optional jacketed/custom versions.
The listing does not specify a pressure rating. Do not use it for pressurized fermentation or carbonation unless the seller confirms a pressure rating or supplies pressure-rated fittings and certification. Spunding or carbonation should only be done with verified pressure-capable equipment.
The product description does not specify included fittings. Typical conical fermenters include a bottom drain/valve, racking port, sampling valve, and airlock/bung port, but you should confirm with the supplier which fittings and sizes are supplied or available as options.
The conical shape funnels yeast and trub to the bottom. After primary fermentation slows, close the inlet, open the bottom valve (or dedicated dump port) to remove trub/harvest yeast, then rack beer from the racking port above the trub layer to a packaging keg or conditioning vessel.
Leave headspace for krausen and CO2. A common recommendation is to fill to about 70–80% of total capacity for vigorous fermentations. For wine or less vigorous ferments you may fill higher, but always allow headspace for foaming.
Rinse with hot water after use, then clean with a brewery-safe alkaline cleaner (e.g., PBW or caustic solution) to remove organic residues. Rinse thoroughly and sanitize with an acid sanitizer (e.g., Star San) prior to use. Avoid chlorine-based cleaners on stainless to prevent pitting and discoloration.
Yes. 304 stainless steel is widely used in the brewing and food industries and is suitable for long-term contact with beer, wine, and spirits when properly cleaned and maintained.
Many fermenters can be fitted with additional ports and accessories. Check with the supplier for available port sizes and customization options (thermowells, spunding valves, sample valves, CIP spray balls). Ensure any modifications maintain sanitary welds and seals.
Place the fermenter on a level, sturdy surface that can support its full weight when filled. Use the built-in legs, stand, or a purpose-built rack. Avoid tilting when full; follow the supplier's installation guidance for stability and access to valves.
The description lists 304 SS material, which is commonly food-grade, but it does not list specific certifications. If you require certificates (e.g., material test report, FDA contact, or EU/CE compliance), request documentation from the supplier before purchase.
Warranty, shipping packaging, and after-sales support vary by seller. Confirm warranty length, what it covers (material/ workmanship), shipping weight/packaging, and availability of replacement parts or technical support with the vendor prior to purchasing.
