Optional Tri-clamp Blow-off Kit

F3 family of conical fermentors: 42, 27, 14.5, and 7 gal gross capacities. Perfect for 31gal (1bbl), 20gal, 10gal, and 5 gal batch sizes. Shown with optional equipment. Blow-off bucket for demonstration purposes only and is not included or offered.

New to the Blichmann Engineering line-up is a massive 42gal gross capacity MODULAR conical! Perfect for the 1bbl (31gal) batch brewer. We've leveraged our lid sealing system to create a 15 gal extension for our 27 gal conical! Available as a complete unit if you only intend to brew 1bbl batches, or as an extension for a 27 gal conical so you can brew smaller batches too! Looking for more capacity for the F3-27 you already own? The extension is a bolt-on option!* Includes blow-off hose assembly. Blow-off bucket for demonstration purposes and is not included. F3-42 shown with optional leg extensions.

(*may require drilling 2 holes on earlier F3-27 models)

Adds much needed capacity to the earlier 12.2 gal and 24 gal models for krausen head-room and also provides pressure capability for CO2 pumping of the finished beer or wine. The 7 gal model, having plenty of space for a 5gal batch, utilizes a flat lid for reduced height. ALL models are pressurizeable.

Lid hatch allows easy sanitary access to your fermentables for adding finings, hops, or just that overwhelming desire to take a peek inside. Pressure relief valve prevents overpressurizing the unit.

The racking arm and bottom dump are easily removed in less than a minute so they can be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

Note that the racking arm is in its "up" position. When the beer is ready to rack, the arm is rotated downward until a slight yeast pick-up is detected.

Super easy to sanitize - can be periodically disassembled for cleaning, sanitizing, and maintenance.

Elevates fermentor allowing you to gravity drain the finished beer or wine into kegs or bottling buckets. Great if you don't have CO2 pressure available. Also much faster than connecting the CO2 gear up to the fermentor.

New industrial high quality non-marking casters with wheel locks are now available for all F2 and F3 series Fermenator conicals! Wheel outriggers add stability.

Not compatible with leg extensions since the unit would be too top heavy to safely move. Although the casters will bolt onto the extension legs, the additional length of leg extending below the caster bracket will interfere with the rotation of the caster swivel rendering the casters inoperable. Do not defeat this important safety feature by sawing the additional length off of the extension leg!

Increases overall height by 3-1/4".

Kit includes mounting brackets, wheels (3) hardware, and leg braces. Casters, brackets and braces are plated steel for durability.

By popular request we have developed an optional tri-clamp (sanitary) fitting design for our full line of Fermenator conicals. This new design maintains all the operational features of our standard fittings, but adds that sleek professional look to your brewery. This completely weldless design includes a 1” bottom dump assembly complete with elbow, ball valve, barb fitting, cover plate, and all clamps and gaskets. The racking arm is a ½” tri-clamp design. Unlike our competitor, we also include the barb fitting, cover and all clamps and gaskets!

Unfortunately, units already sold cannot be retrofitted with the tri-clamp bottom dump and racking fittings since different size holes in the tank are required for the tri-clamp bulkhead fittings.

We are also offering an OPTIONAL tri-clamp blow-off assembly that fits into the #7 stopper hole on the lid. The blow-off assembly is actually compatible with ALL Fermenator conicals we’ve ever built! It includes an elbow, 1” barbed fitting, and a ½” barbed fitting for CO2 pressurization of the unit for pumping the finished beer.
