14 Gallon Blichmann Fermenator G4

Goldsteam is proud to carry the Fermenator G4 from Blichmann Engineering. This pressure capable conical can do it all with plenty of additional options to help you produce the best beer possible. Not only is this the best stainless steel conical fermenter in the market, but Blichmann stands behind it, by offering a lifetime warranty.

Standard features include:

• Welded Tri-Clamp Fittings: All fittings are 1.5” tri-clamps and are sanitary welded into the heaviest gauge tank and lid on the market.
• Pressure Capable Unitank: With 15 PSI (1 BAR) pressure capability, and the included integral pressure relief valve, you can ferment under pressure for reducing fruity esters in your beers, pressure transfer beer into kegs, or carbonate and use as a serving vessel.
• Aseptic Racking Valve: The revolutionary patent pending aseptic racking valve takes the struggle out of keeping your sampling valve sanitary. Similar to pharmaceutical grade sampling valves, the new G4 aseptic valve can be filled with sanitizer between uses so all wetted surfaces always remain sanitized. No spraying. No worrying. No contamination.
• Brushed Exterior, Polished Interior: Let’s admit it: our breweries are show-pieces for friends and families. And we work hard to keep them looking new. Like our Pro Brewing equipment, we’ve selected a sleek brushed exterior finish that is significantly easier to keep free of stains and fingerprints and gives that true pro-look to your brewery. Lastly, we’ve put a mirror polish on the interior to improve cleaning and yeast sedimentation.
• Positive Seal Racking Arm: Loosening a racking arm clamp can lead to beer leaking from the joint, or worse yet, a clamp popping off and causing the loss of the full batch of beer. We’ve included an integral seal to eliminate beer leaks, and a long position indicating pin to allow the fitting to be easily rotated with minimal loosening of the clamp.
• Integral PRV: Pressure vessels should ALWAYS have a pressure relief valve (PRV) installed during use for safe operation. Unlike some competitors, we include the PRV as an integral part of the lid so you never accidentally forget to install it, and don’t have to pay $60+ to buy one.
• Dial Thermometer: The included tri-clamp thermometer reads in F and C, and the scale is perfect for fermentation temps.
• Lifetime Warranty: Rest assured that this will be a lifetime investment. We guarantee it.

Optional accessories include:

• Cooling Kit: The trombone-style cooling coil is the easiest-to-clean coil on the market. No more trapped debris in-between tight spaces. Full 304 stainless steel design. Two 1/2″ NPT connections for full flow into oversized 3/4″ tubes, allowing for maximum heat transfer. Full sanitary construction with a built-in 1.5″ tri-clamp port for accessories such as the air lock, blow off, spunding valve, or CIP spray ball! Achieve professional-level results with temperature controlled fermentation.
• External Level Gauge: Many homebrew conicals include an etched internal level gauge.  To actually use it, however, you’ll need to keep the lid off of your fermenter exposing the wort to potential contamination.  The G4 external level gauge is a design borrowed from our line of Pro conicals.  Much easier to read, and you never have to open the unit to view it.
• Caster Kit: The optional casters and front/rear-mounted handles make mobility easy. Working on uneven or rough surfaces? Add the caster extension frames for extra stability!
• Leg Extensions: Leg extensions raise your conical to allow gravity draining into your kegs if you’d rather not perform a pressure transfer.
• Carb Stone: Carb stones do present a potential contamination issue with their small pores. That’s why we developed an optional three-piece design to allow the stone to be completely disassembled for improved sanitation. And the stem is long enough to fully reach into the main fermentor body, so the bubbles don’t just quickly combine and lose their effectiveness. This stone can also be used for oxygenating the wort before fermentation!
• Thermowell: The tri-clamp thermowell is a great addition to your Fermenator™ G4.
• CIP (Clean in Place): The CIP kit makes cleaning a breeze.
• Spunding Valve: The Blichmann Spunding Valve is purpose-built for pressure fermentation. With exacting precision, you’ll turn out lager-like beer at ale temperatures in no time!
• Tri-Clamp Blow Off Tube Kit: The unique, versatile design allows it to fit all G4 sizes, from 7 gallons all the way up to 1BBL! Every interior surface is visible, making it easy to see and clean any residue from fermentation.
• Yeast Harvester: Harvesting yeast has never been easier! The Blichmann Yeast Harvester offers the perfect sanitized, oxygen-free environment for yeast to flourish and grow. The O2 barrier collection bottle can collect up to 500ml and fits 1.5″ tri-clamp dump valve. With 4 easy steps, the yeast harvester couldn’t be easier.
• Aromanator­™: Looking for a way to add your hops to your fermentor without adding unwanted oxygen? The Aromanator is your solution. Use this accessory to dry hop through any 1.5″ tri-clamp port. Comes with keg post to purge oxygen from the Aromanator and a 2″ butterfly valve to seal your wort before hop addition.
