Kombucha Fermenter All in One Complete System

With built in heating control, these Kombucha All-in-one Complete Systems with heating process control and removable lid are the simplest way for brewing the best kombucha, root beer, hard seltzer or making hard liquor.

Included equipment with Kombucha Fermenter System:

• Conical fermenter with removable lid, fittings and valves (Small / 8 gallon to Large / 24 gallon are water jacketed; 1.5 BBL / 63 gallon and larger are water jacketed and insulated); with pressure rating of 14.9psig these tank can be used as brite tank prior to serving or kegging
• Stainless Water Heater 
• Power Control (see note below)
  
• Stainless steel filter basket

Available sizes with supporting accessories for complete brewing process control (gross volume is listed below; process volume is typically 10-20% less):
Small — 30L / 8 gallon
Medium — 60L / 16 gallon
Large — 90L / 24 gallon
1.5 BBL — 240L / 63 gallon
3 BBL — 420L / 90 gallon 
5 BBL — 720L / 190 gallon
7 BBL — 1080L / 290 gallon
15 BBL — 2200L / 595 gallon 

Optional equipment: 

• Water Chiller can be used to regulate/cool fermentation temperature, and crash the kombucha post-fermentation for serving
• As an alternate to kegging, Dispenser can be connected directly to the fermenter for serving fresh, cold kombucha, seltzer, root beer, or wine
• Additional Conical Fermenters with Heaters (without the controller that comes with the complete system

Boiling water in the same vessel that tea ingredients are brewed in ensures the environment is sanitary for the SCOBY and will result in the most consistent, best tasting kombucha. (During the boil transfer a cup or two of boiled tea through the tank bottom and side ports to ensure they are fully sanitized.)

Running cold water through the tank fermenter jacket after boil enables rapid cool down of tea brew with ingredients. A quick stir (use a boiled spoon) or bubbling oxygen in the bottom port will ensure even temperatures throughout the tea before adding SCOBY.

Note on Power Control: The 120V brew kit plugs directly in the wall and should not be used during fermentation (at 100% output it might scorch the SCOBY); the Small to Large 240V brew kits come with a Tabletop Controller that plugs into a 240V NEMA 14-30 receptacle, the 1.5BBL (63 gallon) to 15BBL (595 gallon) brew kits come with a Touchscreen Power Controller that an electrician hard-wires directly to a breaker panel. (Let us know beforehand if you have single or three phase power. If you have 3 phase power, confirm if across all phases is 208V or if there is a 240V 'high leg'). The controller can be used to heat during fermentation (keep output below 3% during fermentation). For heating of a second controller during fermentation (ie. when fermenting above room temperature) a single heater controller (either Tabletop or Touchscreen) should be added for each fermenter. 

Note: When serving directly from the tank (or when carbonating prior to kegging), after removing the pellicle, seal the lid (always use the pressure/vacuum relief valve) and add 3-5psig of CO₂. See this article on how to carbonate in the BREWHA fermenter.

Multiple 5-in-1 conical tank with heater kits can be added to your brewery to increase your brew production volume. See link above for additional conical fermenters with heaters. 

These complete kombucha brew kits are similar to our complete beer brewing kits but they do not contain the Mash Colander equipment (for holding grain ingredients for making beer; the Colander is lowered into the fermenter with the removable lid removed), brewery pump and several other accessories that are included with the beer brewing process equipment kits.

These tanks can also be used to brew root beer, for making hard seltzer, to brew beer as a 'wash' for liquor making production, in a wine making process, or other fermentation applications.
