Conical Fermenter GF30 Grainfather

Conical Fermenter GF30 Grainfather Conical Fermenter Pro with Controller

The Grainfather Conical Fermenter Pro allows you to control the heating of your unit (and cooling with the Glycol Chiller NOT INCLUDED), dump yeast, take samples and transfer wort via our innovative dual function valve design. The 60-degree (Golden Angle) cone allows for optimum yeast/sediment drop down, giving you clearer beer. The Conical Fermenter Pro comes with a built-in controller with wireless connectivity and sleek digital display. This means you can connect the controller to the internet and Grainfather App and track fermentation with automatic alerts and notifications from wherever - at work, playing golf, fishing...anywhere with an internet connection.

Conical Fermenter Features:

New controller that’s built into the fermenter with wireless connectivity and improved digital display
30L (7 US Gal) capacity
304 stainless steel, double walled body, for constant and stable temperature control
Dual valve tap for easy yeast dumping, transferring, and sampling
30W, 12V heating element inside the cavity of the fermenter, which heats the environment between the fermenter walls, allowing for even/controlled increase in temperature
Connect the Cooling Pump Kit or Glycol Chiller to the integrated cooling sleeves that are welded to the two fermenter inner walls for even cooling
60-degree (Golden Angle) cone for optimum yeast/sediment drop down, giving you clearer beer
Heating capabilities that can achieve up to 10°C higher than ambient room temperature*
When used with the Cooling Pump Kit or Glycol Chiller, cooling capabilities that can achieve as low as 4°C*

*Results will vary depending on the ambient temperature and humidity. Efficiency can be improved when using the Conical Fermenter Pro Insulation Jacket
Integrated Gentle Heating: In the cavity of the fermenter between the outer body and cone sits a 30 Watt, 12V heating element. Unlike standard heating elements/sources that directly heat the liquid, this heat source is designed to heat the environment in between the walls of the fermenter, which in turn heats the liquid. It is similar to controlling the temperature in a temperature controlled room. The fermenter acts as an artificial environment which can be heated, meaning the temperature is raised in an even and controlled manner which is much better for the yeast.

Integrated Cooling Sleeve: In between the two stainless steel walls sits a cooling sleeve (also made of stainless steel). This cooling sleeve is welded onto the inner wall of the fermenter and can be hooked up to the additionally purchased Glycol Chiller. Temperature is dialed into the Temperature Controller and as the cooling liquid travels through this sleeve, it cools the stainless steel which in turn evenly cools the beer in the fermenter. The cooling sleeve never comes into contact with the beer, it is completely concealed, built into the fermenter and never needs cleaning or sanitising - a true innovation for a fermenter of this scale.

Easy Access to the Interior for Hassle Free Cleaning: The Grainfather Conical Fermenter has a smooth interior with no additions such as cooling coils or additional sampling valves meaning it is easy to clean and minimises the risk of infection.
Golden Angle Conical:The conical shape of the fermenter is typical for professional breweries. Our conical has been designed with the 'Golden Angle' of 60؛. This is the optimum angle for yeast and sediment to drop down to the bottom of the cone without getting stuck to the sides, allowing you to transfer from above the sediment line, resulting in clearer beer. The conical shape also allows for better mixing during fermentation due to the path of convention currents that it enables to occur.
Dual Valve Tap: Make the yeast dumping, transferring and sampling process more professional with this innovative all in one valve. Sampling and transferring is done through an inlet above the sediment line, allowing for clear, sediment free beer. Easily collect your yeast from below the sediment line with the same unique valve for recultivating and pitching. The innovative design of the valve allows for this dual functionality and less cleaning for you.
