Product details

The Grainfather Conical Fermenter Pro gives brewers more flexibility and freedom during fermentation than ever before! Connect the built-in wireless controller to the internet and the Grainfather App, add fermentation tracking devices and control/monitor fermentation from anywhere!

Take control of your fermentation by giving yeast the perfect environment to optimize your beer flavor profile. The Grainfather Conical Fermenter - Pro Edition features double-walled, stainless steel construction for durability and insulation and INCLUDES the Dual Valve Tap and NEW Conical Fermenter Pro Controller.

Dial in your fermentation temperature with the Wireless Controller. Use the Dual Valve Tap to take samples and when fermentation is finished, dump or harvest your yeast from the cone and transfer your beer all with the same valve. Samples and transfers are pulled from above the sediment line allowing for clearer beer while allowing for yeast collection from the bottom of the fermenter.

Conical Fermenter Pro Controller
Connect the Conical Fermenter Pro Controller to the internet and the Grainfather App, add fermentation tracking devices, and control/monitor fermentation from anywhere! Plus, it’s even got an improved digital display and water resistance.

  • Control your Grainfather Conical Fermenter Wirelessly.
  • Monitor and adjust your fermenters from anywhere in the world!
  • View temperature data via the Grainfather Connect App.
  • Ability to set fermentation schedules.

The Grainfather Conical Fermenter has been designed to give you the best in fermenting performance. Featuring the Golden Angle of 60°, the optimum angle for dropping yeast to the bottom without clinging to the sides, you'll have no problem getting a clearer beer faster than standard, flat-bottomed fermenters.

Dual Valve Tap:
Using the same concepts used in commercial breweries, the Dual Valve Tap ensures easy sampling and transferring while retaining the ability to dump or harvest yeast for reuse.

Grainfather Conical Fermenter

I do like this fermenter. But in the middle of my second batch my screen blanked out. Besides that it does what it is designed to do. Easy cleaning also.

Outstanding Quality Experience

Why buy a Grainfather Conical Fermenter Pro? Because it’s exceptionally well made and makes fermentation control so easy and consistent. And consistently good beer is why I bought a second CF Pro! Why buy it from Northern Brewer? Because it’s a perfect pairing of excellent quality equipment with outstanding availability and customer service. Without a doubt an outstanding quality experience.

Very good Conical Fermenter

This is our second conical fermenter from grainfather. Very good quality and performance.

Good fermenter, not so good dual tap valve.

I am currently fermenting in this Grainfather unit. I really like the insulating feature it has and the temp controller, but the dual tap valve
Doesn’t work at all so I am going to have to figure out a configuration using 2” tri clamp parts and a valve so that the trub and yeast can be dumped off. And I followed the instructions, I even tried to do a trub dump two hours after filling with wort and before pitching the yeast. Nothing would come out but a very very small trickle of wort. Still hasn’t dumped anything even after trying every day to clear it. So kinda feel the cost is a bit high for its operation is not quite as stated plus it will cost more in parts to hopefully get a proper dump valve setup.

Great features for the price

I looked at a lot of options before buying. I wanted something that looked like high quality, but had heating and cooling options. Many needed to be in a jacket which lost the nice stainless look.
I did have an issue with the power supply on batch #2, but after some back and forth it was resolved.
Heads up to unschooled like me: While I thought a 3 cubic foot mini fridge would work too cool the water, it struggles if the garage gets too warm. I swap out a frozenr water bottle here and there and that solves it. I just hate to spend on a glycol chiller.
I love the way this looks next to my Anvil Foundry 10.5.
