Stainless Steel Tanks
Beer Fermentation Tank
A beer fermentation tank, also called a uni-tank, from 1 to 200 BBL in SUS304 or SUS316L, used for fermentation, maturation and sedimentation in one vessel.
Product Overview
A beer fermentation tank, also called a uni-tank, from 1 to 200 BBL in SUS304 or SUS316L, used for fermentation, maturation and sedimentation in one vessel. Fermentation is where yeast transforms wort into beer, and the conical bottom lets unwanted sediment be discharged while the beer stays in the tank. Yeast can also be collected and reused from the cone, which saves a recurring cost over time.
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose This Specification
Yeast Collected and Reused From the Cone
Harvesting yeast from the conical bottom and repitching it removes a recurring purchase. Over a year that is one of the clearest savings in a brewery.
Three Stages in One Vessel
Fermentation, maturation and sedimentation all happen in the uni-tank, so beer is not transferred between vessels and does not pick up oxygen doing it.
Sediment Discharged Without Losing Beer
The conical bottom drops trub and yeast to the tip, so it can be discharged while the beer above stays in the tank.
1 to 200 BBL Range
The same design covers a small brewpub and regional production, so brewhouse capacity can be scaled in steps.
Application scenarios
Where It Is Used
- Primary fermentation of wort into beer
- Maturation and conditioning in the same vessel
- Sedimentation of trub and yeast before transfer
- Yeast harvesting for repitching the next batch
- Small-batch brewing at 1 BBL
- Production fermentation at up to 200 BBL
Who it is for
The Buyers This Product Suits
Craft Breweries
The uni-tank is the standard fermentation vessel for craft production, and 1 to 200 BBL covers the whole size range.
Breweries Managing Yeast Cost
Collecting and reusing yeast through the conical bottom saves a lot of money in the long term.
Brewers Minimising Transfers
Fermenting, maturing and settling in one tank removes the transfers where oxygen and infection get in.
Problems it solves
What It Fixes
Buying Fresh Yeast Every Batch
The conical bottom lets yeast be collected and reused rather than discarded with the trub.
Oxygen Pickup During Transfers
A uni-tank handles fermentation, maturation and sedimentation without moving the beer.
Sediment Ending Up in the Finished Beer
Unwanted sediment is discharged through the cone while the beer remains in the tank.

Sourcing And Inspection
This product is supplied through TrueGlow Imaging, working with manufacturing partners whose facilities are visited and verified rather than taken on trust. In-process quality control and delivery supervision are available so goods are inspected before the container is sealed. Certifications quoted on this page are those stated on the product specification and belong to that product range rather than to our trading entity, so ask for the certificate covering your specific item.
Handling guide
Getting It Right First Time
Step 1
Size the fermenter against your brewhouse batch size plus headspace for krausen.
Step 2
Confirm the working pressure rating required for pressurised fermentation.
Step 3
Match glycol cooling capacity to the total fermenter volume, not one tank.
Step 4
Harvest yeast from the cone at the right point in the cycle for viability.
Step 5
Choose SUS316L where the cleaning chemistry or water chemistry justifies it.

FAQ
Beer Fermentation Tank Questions
What volumes are available?
1 to 200 BBL, customised.
What is a uni-tank?
A fermentation tank used for fermentation, maturation and sedimentation in one vessel.
Can we collect yeast from it?
Yes. Yeast is collected through the conical bottom and can be reused, which saves a significant amount over time.
Which materials are available?
SUS304 or SUS316L.
What is the minimum order?
One unit, with a production capacity of 100 units per month.
What is the model number?
HTK-BFJG-01.
