Product details

Introducing the Reactor Stainless Steel Conical Fermenter, our next generation of fermenter for the avid homebrewer. Chock full of features, the Reactor will revolutionize your fermentation process from pitching to sampling, packaging, and cleaning. Solid 304 stainless steel construction makes the Reactor durable, light-proof, and incredibly easy to clean.

The conical bottom of the Reactor allows for yeast and excess trub to settle out of the finished beer or wine ensuring only the clearest product remains for packaging, while the adjustable racking arm allows for easy sampling during active fermentation and makes bottling or kegging a breeze. Boasting a large capacity of 8.5 gallons ensures enough headspace for even the most vigorous of fermentations, while the embossed volume markings provide simple volume measurement with a quick glance.

The wide opening and integrated bottom dump valve make cleaning the Reactor a quick and easy job - no need to invert the fermenter to empty the contents, simply open the bottom valve to drain cleaning solution and rinse water. The lid features a removable silicone gasket to ensure an airtight seal while the clamps firmly latch the lid to the body of the fermenter. Comes complete with a stopper for a turnkey fermentation experience.

Reactor Stainless Steel Conical Fermenter Includes:

  • Reactor conical fermenter main body
  • Lid with removable silicone gasket
  • Size 5 drilled rubber stopper
  • Racking arm assembly
  • Bottom dump/cleaning valve
  • Replacement gaskets for racking arm assembly
  • Rubber feet for legs

Reactor conical fermenter

Finally splurged on this after admiring it for a long time. Sadly, it's been a disappointment so far. First, there were no instructions. So I figured it must be fool-proof. (NOT!) The dump valve gets horribly clogged. Had to dig out the clog with a wire through the open valve. When it does unclog, a rush of beer is there to greet you (and your clothing, and the floor). The first time, I panicked and tried to quickly close the valve, but couldn't because the wire was still in there. What a mess! Tried again after a few days and the valve was clogged again. When I finally transferred the beer to a keg, there was at least 1/2 gal missing AND there was still a cone full of sediment. Some of the sediment transferred to the keg and clogged the keg. I was able to force CO2 into the keg's OUT port to unclog it, but ended up getting some beer in the CO2 line. Ugh. Had some hop chunks in the beer too. My old siphon procedure has none of these issues. I'll probably just use this as a secondary fermenter and siphon into it like I do with my plastic fermenters.

Nice fermenter

Have my first batch in this vessel fermenting right now. I really like how easy this looks to clean when done!

Great piece of equipment. Well built. Extremely easy to clean and sanitize and doesn’t weigh like an elephant.
But best of all is Northern Brewer customer service. Hard to beat.
