The X1 Uni+ is the result of pairing the BrewBuilt Conical Fermenter with a host of premium accessories. Your customers can take complete control of their fermentations by adding the ability to regulate temperature, monitor activity, harvest yeast, pull the clearest samples, and improve many more aspects of the fermentation process. The BrewBuilt X1 Uni+ includes a slew of upgrades to unlock its full potential, including a custom fitted CoolStix™ and insulating neoprene jacket, Flex Chamber Trub Separator & Yeast Harvester, and the Pressure Pack with Clear Float Technology.

CoolStix™ Cooling Rod
Brewing great beer is nearly impossible without controlling the fermentation temperature. The CoolStix offers an easy-to-use, innovative solution to achieve perfect fermentation temps. Pair it with an IceMaster Glycol Chiller or a BrewBuilt Chiller Pump Kit placed in ice water. Cooling solution will cycle through the CoolStix to lower the temperature of the fermenting beer whenever needed. The beauty of the CoolStix is its straight vertical design, which is much easier to clean and sanitize than a cooling coil. The custom-sewn neoprene jacket will help keep your temperatures stable so you’re not constantly cycling your submersible pump.
Flex Chamber – Trub Separator & Yeast Harvester
The Flex Chamber attaches directly to the dump valve and can be used for monitoring fermentation activity, dropping trub, harvesting yeast, and many other tasks. Ball lock adapters can be attached to the threaded ports on either side, allowing one to connect oxygenation or carbonation stones. Or flush the pressurizable Flex Chamber with CO2 and use it to inject hops and other additions into the fermenter. Also works well as storage vessel for harvested yeast!
Pressure Pack with Clear Float Technology
Add pressure capability with the Pressure Pack upgrade. With a pressurizable conical, brewers can ferment, carbonate, and serve all in one vessel. The Clear Float Technology racking tube can be used for taking samples, transferring to keg, or serving finished beer. This innovative feature draws liquid from the top down so the clearest, most sediment-free beer is being pulled. Using pressure to draw a sample also eliminates the small amount of oxygen that would otherwise be injected into beer when using the plunger-style sample valve.
Pressure transferring from fermenter to keg will protect beer when it’s most vulnerable. Kegging is the last step where there’s potential for the beer to be damaged from oxygen exposure. The Pressure Pack allows the user to keg from the top down and leave sediment behind.
X1 Uni Conical Fermenters
The BrewBuilt X1 Uni was purpose-built with today’s brewers and modern brewing processes in mind. The end result of thousands of hours of research, contemplation, and development, this conical fermenter boasts a feature set that will advance your customer’s fermentation process, improve the quality of their finished beer, and look absolutely stunning while doing it. Made entirely of 304 stainless steel, the quality exceeds what has previously been done in brewing applications and approaches the level of pharmaceutical-grade finish. With all the premium features brewers demand, and a list of available upgrades, the X1 Uni will be their favorite piece of brewing equipment for many years to come.
2” T.C. Dump Valve
With an oversized 2″ bottom port, extra-large dry hop charges can be added worry-free. Many conicals can run into clogging issues with a standard 1.5″ dump valve, but BrewBuilt designed the X1 Uni with hop lovers in mind. Flocculating yeast will slide right down the smooth interior walls, collecting neatly in the bottom of the cone to make yeast harvesting and removal a breeze. And the butterfly dump valve will integrate perfectly with the included Flex Chamber Trub Separator and Yeast Harvester.
Reinforced Foundation
Many homebrew conicals on the market receive a common complaint, and that’s the tippiness that comes with a three-legged design. This design is mostly fine when the unit is set on an even surface, but it also results in users needing to purchase a bracing shelf if they ever upgrade to rolling casters or add leg extensions. The X1 Uni features a four-leg, welded-bar reinforced base modeled after professional brewery tanks. Although it’s more expensive to make them this way, the cost is well worth it, as this seemingly small detail provides an absolutely rock-solid foundation. This is a critical feature for those planning on adding rolling casters. The reinforced legs also allowed the conical to stand taller, so there’s no need for additional leg extenders. Mount an elbow, a sight glass, or the Flex Chamber underneath the dump valve and still have room to spare.
Extra Beefy Handles
We don’t recommend lifting and moving a full conical, but it may be necessary at some point with the help of a friend. The handles on the X1 Uni feature molded silicone over stainless steel for a solid, comfortable grip, and are uniquely designed to stop half-way when they swing out to protect fingers from being crushed.
Adjustable Feet
The standard thread-in feet enable the conical’s stance to be adjusted to compensate for uneven flooring. Quickly and easily adjust the fermenter if the brewery floor isn’t completely level. The feet can be swapped out with our high-quality casters at any time.
Other Features We Love:
The Blowoff U Barb extends outward and points down to prevent blow off tubing from kinking
Etched volume markers on the interior read in gallons and liters
Stainless steel lid clamp with single-piece molded silicone gasket
It’s an overkill, but Oh My God! The quality of this product, as such a price, is just unbelievable. And there’s lots of stuff included such as clamps, gaskets and end caps. The only thing you have to think about are the hoses for the chiller. That truly is pro stuff for the homebrewer. Can’t wait to pump some wort in that bad boy.
