Fermenting vessel options

[MikeBusby]

I am looking to improve my fermentation process. My set up currently is a Brewster Beacon 40, a plastic FV with a tap at the bottom, and a standard Ferminator. I currently transfer to bottles, but kegging is an option in the future.

I want to get a better FV. So, on my checklist is:

• Fits inside a Ferminator. The height is unimportant as I can buy extensions, but the diameter is.
• Although I don’t have immediate plans to pressure ferment, I would like this option in the future.
• Effective in terms of racking the beer without transferring too much trub in.
• Some means of dry hopping with minimal risk of oxidisation.

What would you guys recommend?

Fermenter King Snubnose

Collection bottles are a needless complication and can be frustrating, so just go with one with a conical bottom.

If you want a dry hop port and greater stability in the floating pickup, go for the Gen 3 Snubnose, but I haven't yet found the need to upgrade my Gen 2s

The Apollo looks good and hopefully will be available soon. Built in handles and a wider opening to clean. Also, like gen 3 has themo wall and dry hop port. think they will be available in new year.
