100HL Cider Fermenter/Cider Fermentation tank
A cider fermenter is a vessel used specifically for fermenting apple juice or other fruit juices to produce cider. The fermentation process involves converting the sugars present in the juice into alcohol and carbon dioxide using yeast. A cider fermenter is designed to provide an ideal environment for this fermentation process to take place.
Product details
1.Features of a cider Fermenter:
Material: Cider fermenters are commonly made from food-grade materials like stainless steel, Stainless steel is a popular choice due to its durability, easy cleaning, and resistance to corrosion.
Capacity: Cider fermenters come in various sizes, ranging from small homebrewing sizes to larger commercial-scale vessels. The capacity chosen depends on the volume of cider you wish to produce.
Blow-Off Tube: To allow carbon dioxide to escape during fermentation while preventing air from entering the fermenter, a blow-off tube is typically used. This helps maintain an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment, which is essential for a healthy fermentation process.
Racking Port: Most cider fermenters have a racking port with a valve near the bottom. This allows for easy transfer of the fermented cider while leaving behind any sediment or lees that have settled at the bottom.
Sample Port: A sample port is often included at the top of the fermenter. This enables you to take small samples of the cider during fermentation to monitor its progress without the need to open the fermenter and risk contamination.
Temperature Control: Some cider fermenters come with built-in cooling jackets or the option to attach temperature control devices. This feature allows you to regulate the fermentation temperature, ensuring optimal yeast activity and flavor development.
