Fermentation Vessels

Name: Fermentation Vessels - SKY AGRO
Brand: Tanks
Availability: InStock

Fermentation vessels are cylindroconical tanks designed for controlled primary fermentation, yeast management, and efficient separation of solids throughout the brewing process. Manufactured in food-grade SS304 stainless steel, they provide a stable, hygienic environment for consistent fermentation performance, supporting everything from pilot batches to full-scale production.

Available from 1 hL to 300 hL, fermentation vessels are fully insulated and dimple-jacketed for glycol cooling, enabling precise temperature control during fermentation, conditioning, and cold crashing. The conical base promotes effective yeast collection and discharge, while pressure-rated construction and sanitary fittings ensure safe operation, reliable process control, and repeatable product quality across installations.

Built for consistent fermentation

01

Precise temperature control

Glycol-fed jacket segments covering the cone and body allow independent zone control, keeping fermentation temperature stable from pitch to crash cool without relying on ambient cellar conditions.
02

60° conical base for clean yeast cropping

The steep conical base promotes reliable yeast sedimentation, making successive crops straightforward and reducing carry-over into the finished beer.
03

CIP-ready fittings as standard

Spray-ball inlet, drain, and sample valve positions follow standard hygienic fitting layouts so the vessel integrates directly with CIP circuits without additional modification.

Cellar efficiency and control

04

Pressure-rated for flexible operation

Designed as a pressure vessel, allowing spunding, closed transfers, and in-vessel carbonation. This reduces oxygen pickup, supports COâ‚‚ retention, and improves overall product stability from fermentation through to transfer.
05

Full-drain, hygienic construction

60° conical base and flush-ground internal welds eliminate dead zones, ensuring complete drainage and consistent clean-in-place performance. Hygienic design reduces contamination risk and supports repeatable batch quality.
06

Integrated sampling and control

Sanitary sample valve and side-mounted thermowell enable accurate in-process monitoring without opening the vessel. Supports consistent fermentation management and reliable quality control across batches.

Available configurations

CCV - Indoor

Standard cylindroconical fermenter for controlled cellar environments. Fully jacketed and insulated, suited to primary fermentation, conditioning, and cold crashing in indoor installations.
CCV - Outdoor

Same specification as indoor vessels, designed for external installation without additional casing. Suitable where indoor space is limited or capacity is expanded beyond the building footprint.
Open-top fermenter

Traditional open vessel for top-fermenting styles. Supports yeast cropping from the surface and is suited to breweries producing cask ales or styles requiring open fermentation character.
Yorkshire Square

Two-chamber fermentation system for classic Northern English ales. Upper chamber promotes yeast head formation and top-cropping, enabling distinct fermentation profiles with traditional ale strains.
