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?

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?

12/10/2006 -- Hi is it possible to get this seven gallon fermenator in europe

11/17/2006 -- Is there a way to install a "blow off tube" to get rid of the foam of primary fermentation, to prevent the bitterness or off flavors? Also, what is the best method to sanitize the opening of the upper valve, just prior to bottling/kegging. Idoaphor?

11/11/2006 -- I like to do my secondary ferment in a glass carboy, Will using the Fermenator finish off my beer as well as glass? Also, It seems that when you were to open the bottom valve to drain out sediment you would lose too much beer. Will Fermenator clean out more sediment than just being careful with a racking cane in a carboy?

8/20/2006 -- In an answer to another's question, you implied you could bottle directly from the fermentor. To do this, you'd first have to remove (virtually completely) sediment through the bottom valve; then add bottling sugar through the top hatch; and then attach a bottle-filling wand to the bottom valve -- correct? But somehow, you'd also have to mix the bottling sugar throughout the finished brew, so you'd . . .

5/25/2006 -- i too have been using the mr. beer kit and am ready to move up the ladder. my question is this, do you still use a primary and secondary fermenter with the steel fermenters?

4/9/2006 -- I'm considering a 7 gallon stainless steel conical fermenter, but have several questions. 1) I was given a Mr. Beer brewing kit several months ago and was surprise I could make beer that actually wasn't bad. Now I am ready to graduate to another level. Regarding the fermenter; I am assuming that since you can't see when the yeast has finish fermenting (by bubbling) you must have to check with . . .

3/28/2006 -- I am actually interested in this fermentor for something other than brewing. I want to use it to grow anaerobic bacteria in my lab! In order to do that, I need to know if the fermentor is completely airtight and if there is a way to vent excess gas from it without letting outside air in.

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?

6/16/2005 -- I have a few questions. 1. What's the best way to clean the pot on the Extractor Pro-Series II? I can't figure out a way to get to the top and top-ended sides. 2. Regarding the concial fermentor - how do you regulate the temperature? I have a hot plate for the carboy but that wouldn't work on the fermentor. 3. You said the fermentor separates the sediment form the ferment - do you empty . . .

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

5/12/2005 -- I'm undecided on which size ferenator is best suited for my needs. I wish to brew both 6 gallon and 12 gallon batches. Can i do the smaller batches in the 12 gallon model ?

3/28/2005 -- Thanks for you quick reply on my Iodophor question. Although I am not yet a customer, your immediate assistance has guaranteed that I will be making my next materials purchase with you. I've been brewing about 10 years, but only about 4-5 batches per year, so I still consider myself fairly green. I purchased a pony keg about 3 years ago to save on brew cycle time (bottling). In keeping with reducing . . .

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?

12/23/2004 -- What is the outside measurments of the fermentor. Height, total width?

11/26/2004 -- I am new to this. Do you need any additional equipment besides the conical fermentor? I have seen two-stage kits that come with a ton of stuff (i.e. fermentation lock, etc.)

9/1/2004 -- Can this fermenter be used for wine or just beer?

6/1/2004 -- What is the advantage to a conical fermenter? Does it just let you pour off the sediment so you don't need to move it to a second container?

5/13/2004 -- Most recipes I use are for 5 gallon runs. Would I have to increase these to 6.8 gallons to use this fermenter? Also how do you rack this to a carboy without getting all the sediment in there also?

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? . . .

12/16/2003 -- What you mean by 21" wide? is that the diameter? if so, the numbers don't agree, you'd end up with much more than 12.2 gallons. How do you estimate the 12.2 gallons then?

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.
