Kegland Kegmenter 29L Stainless Uni Tank Pressurisable Fermenter
- Description
- Shipping information
These are great if you want to pressure ferment but want something longer lasting than a plastic fermenter.
In the box:
- 29L Kegmenter
- 4" Tri Clamp
- 4" Ball lock post lid for tri-clamp
- Silicon dip tube and float
Note - No airlock is included.
These are great paired with a spunding valve for regulated pressure fermentation (available from BKT separately)
Please note - these are made from brand new commercial kegs and can have slight cosmetic marks on the side from where the kegs have rubbed together. They are an industrial product so expect industrial aesthetics.
SAFETY - ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK YOU HAVE DE-PRESSURISED THE FERMENTER BEFORE REMOVING THE TRI CLAMP. YOUR FACE IS NICE AND WE WANT YOU TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
From the manufacturer:
These 29L stainless steel vessels are designed just like a commercial beer keg but with a large 10cm (4inch) tri-clover opening at the top so you can easily get inside the keg to clean it out. This new 29L Size is perfect for doing 20-25L batches so you have a bit of spare head space inside the Kegmenter.
The Kegmenter can hold 2.5bar which makes it possible to carbonate and ferment in the same vessel. You can either carbonate naturally with the use of our adjustable pressure relief valve (spunding valve) or if you are using a CO2 gas cylinder you can force carbonate.
Being able to hold pressure also means you can push the beer out of the fermenter directly through a filter or even dispense directly from fermenter to draft beer tap if you wanted to.
The chimes on the Kegmenters have specifically been designed to be taller than normal chimes so they are high enough to give clearance over the stainless posts on the KL05890 Ball Lock Post Lid. This means the Kegmenters can be stacked. The interlocking stacking chimes means the kegs can be safely stacked up to 4 high.
The Kegmenter can also be used with the 2inch to 4inch tri-clover concentric reducer. This means you can reduce the 4inch opening down to 2 inch opening so you can attach one of our Alcoengine Reflux or Alcoengine Pot still to the top. If you want this part click here KL06156

Brewing frequently asked questions
How long does it take to brew beer?
The time it takes to brew beer can vary, but on average, the process takes about 4 to 6 weeks. This includes the various stages such as malting, mashing, boiling, fermenting, conditioning, and bottling. However, some beer styles may require longer aging periods for optimal flavor development.
Is home brewing worth it?
Many people find home brewing to be a rewarding and enjoyable hobby, allowing them to create unique and customised beers. It provides a deeper understanding of the brewing process and offers the opportunity to experiment with different ingredients and styles. Additionally, home brewing can be cost-effective in the long run compared to purchasing craft beers. However, it requires time, effort, and a certain level of commitment. Whether it's worth it ultimately depends on one's passion for brewing and the satisfaction derived from the process and the end product.
Is home brewing legal?
Home brewing for personal use is generally legal, and there is no need for a specific license as long as certain conditions are met. Home brewers are allowed to produce beer, wine, and cider for personal consumption. However, there are limits on the amount that can be brewed without a license. As of January 2022, the limits were 100 litres for beer and 100 litres for wine per household.
It's important to stay informed about any updates or changes in the regulations, so it's advisable to check with local authorities or brewing associations for the most current information regarding home brewing laws in the UK. Always ensure that you comply with the relevant regulations and guidelines to enjoy home brewing within the legal framework.
