BrewDemon claims that this is the “World’s First” small batch conical fermenting system. Whether or not that is true, this 3-gallon fermenter (which can brew 2 or 2.5-gallon batches) works great for beer, hard cider, wine or mead.
Unlike stainless steel or glass carboys, this plastic conical fermenter is made of a heat tolerant, food grade PVC plastic, and is available in two variations. You can order it in clear like the photo above, or choose amber instead. The clear tank can give you a better visual of the fermenting beer, but the amber may help protect against UV rays which is harmful to the beer.
Not only will you do all of your fermenting in just this one vessel, the conical design allows for easy transfer into bottles once the fermentation is finished.
Keep in mind that this fermenter is for small batch brewers only, as it can only handle less than 3 gallons at a time. This company does make the Big Demon, a plastic conical fermenter that can handle 8 gallons, but this particular model is small batch only. If you are looking to brew in bulk, look elsewhere.
