Nice Product

10/9/2009 -- I'm considering the 7 gallon and 14 gallon conical fermentors. How much beer would be produced from/in each fermentor? Also if I were to use the 55 gallon Boilermaker brew pot, what would be the output of wort in gallons? would three 14 gallon fermentors be sufficient to fetrment the output from the 55 gallon boilermaker output?

9/26/2009 -- Does the price that your quoting include the tri-clamp from Blichmann, or would that be an extra I would need to buy from them? Do you carry that option?

7/17/2009 -- Is a 5 gallon carboy big enough to secondary ferment a 5 gallon batch of beer?

1/6/2009 -- I would like to know if you have 14.5 Gallon Fermenator - Conical Bottom in stock?

2/9/2008 -- Hmmm. Looks like what I need. I am SO tired of futzing around with hoses and racking canes. But I'm a little confused about all the "head room" above the must in batches smaller than 14.5 gallons....what keeps the must from oxidizing in the later stage of fermentation? Is it airtight?

2/6/2008 -- I am considering the purchase of a 14.5 gallon cylindroconical fermenter. What is the best way to sanitize these vessels? Currently I employ two 7.5 gallon carboys; I fill one completely up with an Iodophor solution then transfer the solution to the second carboy. Does one completely fill these fermenters to ready them? Will the lid seal leak?

1/26/2008 -- I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

1/11/2008 -- What are the two valves for? Can I use this fermentor for the entire process or do you recommend transferring to glass in the final stage. If I can use this for the entire fermentation process, does this come with a hose I can use for bottling. Is the 14.5 the entire volume or is there blowoff room. The dynamics of the foam should be different. What is a typical foam height rise during the first couple . . .

10/2/2007 -- Can you use a 5 gallon batch in a 14 gallon conical fermentor without any problems?

5/12/2007 -- can you give me a shipping estimate to business address in Pa zip 17821 for the 14.5 fermenator thanks tom

4/16/2007 -- I recently purchased the 14.5 gallon fermentor. I want to push beer from the fermentor through a filtration system on its way to the Cornelius keg. What type of adaptor/connector do I need for the connection to the fermentor? Also, what is the maximum pressure recommended by Blichmann Engineering? Thanks, Bill

3/24/2007 -- Why a 14.5 gal fermentor when most brews are in 5,10, & 15 gal. Also is the head space included in the 14.5 gal. Also is this compatable with blow off tube?

1/2/2007 -- Hello again! What would the shipping cost of the 14.5 gal. fermenter be to Rich., Va. zip code 23111

8/16/2006 -- Which stainless alloy is this made from, i.e. 316, 304, or other?

5/21/2006 -- I'AM THINKNG BUYING THE 14.5 GAL. FERMENATOR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FOR SURE THAT I CAN USE IT FOR BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FERMENATATION IN MAKING A BATCH OF WINE.THIS WOULD SAVE ME ALOT OF TIME.

3/26/2006 -- I LIVE IN A HOT CLIMATE, CAN I USE A STANDARD FRIDGE TO PUT THE 14 GALLON CONICAL FERMENTER IN? AND IF SO COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW WIDE IT IS AFTER ASSEMBLED?

12/29/2005 -- I usually make beer in 5-6 gallon batches. How do you adjust the process with larger fermentors?

9/27/2005 -- What size are the bottom and side valves on the fermenator and are they larger on the larger units?

9/1/2005 -- When bottling from the fermentor do you just attach a siphon hose to one of those spigots on the bottom of the fermentor?

5/16/2005 -- i am new to this, and i have seen and heard of people using plastic buckets for final fermentation, their purpose for doing this is so they can attach a spigot to the bucket for bottling, is this ok to do or is glass the better choice? thanx again and i find that you question and answer part of the site to be very helpful

3/13/2005 -- I'm just getting started brewing and I had a question. As a primary fermenter which is better, plastic bucket, plastic carboy or glass carboy. Then for secondary fermentation, plastic carboy or glass carboy?

8/18/2004 -- I'm interested in the 14.5 gal conical fermenters, but want to run 2-stage fermentations. Can you effectively run a 2-stage fermentation in a single conical vessel? ...does the bottom valve actually allow you to efficiently remove trub after a primary fermentation without losing lots of wort/beer in the process? Thanks in advance for any input you might have here.

8/15/2004 -- Is it possible to use a larger fermenter such as the 14.5 gal conical to brew smaller batches such as 5 gal? I would like the capacity to brew larger and smaller volumes with the same fermentor.

6/28/2004 -- how much could a 14.5 gal fermenator weigh when its full? a 27 gal I have to think about where I'd put it ya know?

6/18/2004 -- can you ship this femenator to Alaska? And can you add a thermometer?

12/19/2003 -- I am having trouble keeping the temp in the room I am making wine between 70 and 75 degrees as specified in the wine kit I have. I live in Colorado and often the temp at night dips way down, and in the day it can get quite warm. I am not around at all times to adjust the thermastat. Could I solve this problem by wrapping the carboy with an electric blanket or something of the sort? Any suggestions? . . .

10/23/2003 -- I noticed most of the malt extract brew kits are 5 gallon batches. Will a 5 gallon carboy be sufficient for fermentation, or will I need a 6 gallon carboy to allow for foaming? Thanks, I'm new to this.
