Note: it is recommended that you have at least 1" on all sides for maneuvering clearance. Dimensions shown above do not include this clearance. Dimensions do not include airlock which is not used in a refrigerator. For low clearance installations, use 90o elbow (provided) on stopper and remote locate the airlock. For upright freezers and refrigerators it is recommended that you have 4-6" of clearance above the unit if you wish to dry hop or add finings through the lid hatch.
Blichmann Engineering 7 GALLON FERMENATOR WITH TRI-CLAMP VALVES
F3-7tri
Brand: Blichmann Engineering
The Fermenator is a beautifully designed product for the discriminating brewer. Its features provide commercial brewery functionality at a consumer good price. It’s easy to use and loaded with standard features. The standard 7 gal., 14.5 gal., and 27 gal. sizes are perfect for 5, 10 and 20 gal. batches.
Fermenator Features
F3 Tri-clamp Fittings
By popular request we have developed an optional tri-clamp (sanitary) fitting design for our full line of Fermenator conicals. This new design maintains all the operational features of our standard fittings, but adds that sleek professional look to your brewery. This completely weldless design includes a 1” bottom dump assembly complete with elbow, ball valve, barb fitting, cover plate, and all clamps and gaskets. The racking arm is a ½” tri-clamp design. Unlike our competitor, we also include the barb fitting, cover and all clamps and gaskets!
Unfortunately, units already sold cannot be retrofitted with the tri-clamp bottom dump and racking fittings since different size holes in the tank are required for the tri-clamp bulkhead fittings.
100% Stainless Steel
No need to pay extra to upgrade your Fermenator to all stainless. Everything that touches your beer is heavy gauge stainless steel. No need to worry about what options to buy…it’s all standard equipment!!
Weld-free Interior
The Fermenator is the only weld-free interior fermenter on the market!! No stress about bacteria hiding in weld cracks or porosity found in all welds. Even so-called sanitary welds. The surfaces of the Fermenator where the fittings penetrate are smooth (no weld "ripples") so it is a snap to clean and sanitize. Although the weld-free fittings are more expensive than welded fittings, we think it's well worth it for peace of mind and clean, bacteria-free beer.
Guaranteed 100% Leak Free!!! Stainless o-ring retainers hold o-rings firmly in place, eliminating any chance of rolling or leaking. The sealing design is identical to hydraulic systems under thousands of PSI.
Easy to clean weld-free fittings
All fittings used for the bottom dump and rotating racking arm are stainless steel high quality industrial fittings, not make shift hardware store parts and pipe fittings. And unlike welded fittings, ours can be removed for easy sanitizing by sanitizer, boiling, autoclaving...whatever. And our competitor's welded-in fittings can't be replaced if they get accidentally damaged or wear out!
Last, but not least, the weld-free fittings allow you to orient the dump valve in any position you want, not where it happens to end up when tightening a welded fitting....such as facing the rear of the refrigerator!
Rotating Racking Arm
That’s right! The rotating racking arm is standard equipment!! Just like the Craft Brewers huge conical fermenters. This feature allows you to start your siphon with the racking arm horizontal, and rotate it slowly downward until you just start picking up yeast sediment. Clearly the best and only way to siphon clear beer! And using the racking arm prevents wasting any beer or carrying sediment into your kegs which happens if you use the bottom dump to rack the beer. This exclusive design utilizes stainless flare fittings which can’t hide bacteria like compression fittings can.
Patent pending lid hatch - easy sanitary access to your fermenting beer. Minimizes exposure of the fermentables to oxidation and bacterial contamination when dry-hopping or adding finings as opposed to removing the lid entirely. This generous size opening also makes it much easier to pitch yeast than pouring through the small stopper hole.
Patent Pending Bolted leg system - higher strength and spotless interior New channel shaped legs offer improved strength and appearance. An exclusive welding process is utilized to install fasteners on the tank wall leaving the interior of the tank absolutely flawless and superior to TIG welded designs where weld distortion (rippling) is unavoidable. And the legs can be replaced in minutes if they are accidentally damaged!
New!! Pressure Capable Stainless Lid Just like the big breweries, use CO2 pressure to pump your finished beer up to 6ft above your fermenter to your kegs. Eliminates the need for elevating the fermentor above the kegs or bottling bucket. Ideal for chest freezers. Not intended for carbonation.
Wine-makers! Forms a 100% pressure and vacuum tight seal so no need for a floating lid! The sealing system is far superior to wine tanks and is completely impervious to oxygen. Most stainless wine fermenting tanks have a loose fitting lid for primary fermentation (to vent gas) and a floating lid for secondary fermentation (to prevent oxygen infiltration). This floating lid has an inflatable seal "tire" with a “bicycle pump” and must be checked periodically to be sure it hasn't deflated. It is also a source for bacterial contamination from the fermentation material on the walls of the fermentor.
(Patent Pending)
Improved seal lid - excellent sealing and long life. Patent pending. Exclusive bead molded into the seal profile offers improved sealing on the tank lip further protecting your fermentables from contamination. Top quality silicone material has improved bond strength and temperature capability for long life. And the softer material conforms better to the irregular tank surface for outstanding sealing capability. Far superior to all competitive seals!
New!! Folding Handles - fold neatly away when not in use and stay connected to the unit at all times! (Mouse-over photo for animation)
The 24 gal. unit cannot be moved when full due to the sheer weight of the unit. When empty, all units are light enough to easily be carried handle.
Ultra Low Profile Design The Fermenator can easily be placed in a full size refrigerator or freezer for maintaining fermentation temperatures at a fraction of the cost of immersion coolers which can run well over $600. And no worry about sanitation!
