32L Stainless Steel Conical Fermenter — Serious Brewing, Simplified Cleanup
The 32L Stainless Steel Conical Fermenter is the upgrade home brewers reach for when they're done fighting plastic buckets and glass carboys. Built from 304-grade stainless steel with a passivated exterior, it's designed to handle batch after batch without harbouring scratches, odours, or off-flavours — and the conical base makes trub and yeast removal genuinely effortless.
At 32 litres total capacity, it's sized perfectly for standard 23-litre home brew batches with plenty of headspace for active fermentation.
Why Go Conical Stainless?
Plastic fermenters scratch over time, trapping bacteria and wild yeast in micro-abrasions that no amount of sanitiser fully addresses. Stainless steel is non-porous, scratch-resistant, and completely flavour-neutral — it won't absorb hop oils, yeast character, or cleaning agents between batches. The conical base takes that a step further: rather than letting trub and dead yeast sit under your beer through the full fermentation, you can dump it off cleanly mid-ferment without disturbing the beer above.
Key Features

- Rotating racking arm lets you draw beer from above the yeast cake, maximising yield and minimising sediment carry-over
- Front-mounted thermowell accepts a digital thermometer (included) or the probe from a compatible temperature controller
- Smooth internal welds for easy cleaning — no hidden crevices for bacteria to hide
- Suitable for beer, cider, wine, mead, and kombucha fermentation
What's Included

First Use — Important
Before your first brew, clean the fermenter thoroughly to remove any residual machining oil from the manufacturing process. A hot PBW soak followed by a full rinse and sanitise is the recommended approach. This is standard procedure for any new stainless brewing vessel.
Good to Know
The thermowell is compatible with the MKII Temperature Controller Box probe, making it straightforward to add fermentation temperature control if you want precise lager or kveik temperature management down the track.
