Collection — Unitank conical fermenters

A real conical.
At every scale you brew.

The Unitank is Bräu Supply's standalone fermenter — jacketed, pressure-capable, sanitary tri-clamp throughout. Same vessel that ships inside our BräuPro brewhouses, sold on its own to pair with any tri-clamp hot side, double your fermentation capacity, or replace whatever plastic conical, carboy bucket, or band-heater compromise you're still tolerating. Three scales: homebrew 5G–20G, 1 BBL pilot, and 3–5 BBL production.

What makes a Unitank

A vessel built to do every cold-side job — well.

Same architecture across every scale. The geometry, the fittings, the pressure rating, the standard tri-clamp ports — these don't change when you move from 10G to 1 BBL. What changes is jacket coverage, controller, and how much beer comes out the bottom.

01

Pressure-capable to 15 PSI

Spund, carbonate, and closed-transfer to keg without ever exposing the beer to air. No more siphons, no more bottling-bucket oxidation, no more lager that tastes like cardboard after week three.

02

True 60° conical bottom

Trub falls to the apex. Dump it through the butterfly valve after cold-crash. Harvest clean yeast for the next batch. No racking off the trub bed, no fermenter-shaped sediment cake.

03

Dimpled cooling jacket

Tap water for ales. Glycol for lagers and any temperature below ambient. The jacket holds set point within ±0.5°F across a 14-day fermentation — no band-heater swings, no fermentation chamber required.

04

Standard tri-clamp everything

1.5", 2", and 3" tri-clamp ports. No proprietary fittings, no shop-only spares. Replacement gaskets at any homebrew store, every valve serviced with a 9/16" wrench. The vessel is repaired, never replaced.

Pairs with any tri-clamp hot side

Bring your own brewhouse.

The Unitank is a standalone fermenter. It doesn't care how the wort got there — pour it in cold, or land it via tri-clamp from any compatible kettle. Common pairings on the Bräu Supply side:

Three sizes. Same architecture.

Match the Unitank to your batch size — or to the brewhouse you already own. Architecture, fittings, and parts are constant across the lineup; what changes is jacket coverage, controller, and capacity.

Why the Unitank

Designed around how fermentation actually works — not around what's cheap to fabricate.

01 · Vessel design

Dedicated, not compromised

The Unitank exists to ferment beer. It isn't a kettle that someone bolted a thermowell onto — the conical bottom, jacket, ports, and pressure rating were sized for the fermentation use case from day one.

02 · Temperature

±0.5°F across a 14-day lager

A dimpled body jacket gives even, full-body cooling. Pair with glycol and a controller and you get rock-stable set points across the longest cold-side beers you'll ever make.

03 · Pressure

15 PSI · spund and transfer closed

Carbonate naturally during the tail end of fermentation. Push finished beer to keg under CO₂ without ever exposing it to air. Beer that tasted right on Day 14 tastes right on Day 90.

04 · Trub & yeast

Dump · harvest · move on

Conical bottom + butterfly valve = trub leaves cleanly, yeast harvests cleanly, and the next batch's pitch is sitting in a sanitized jar by Sunday afternoon. No racking, no second-vessel hop.

05 · Fittings

Standard tri-clamp throughout

1.5" and 2" tri-clamp at every port. Off-the-shelf gaskets, off-the-shelf valves, off-the-shelf spares. Nothing about owning a Unitank means waiting on a single-supplier part.

06 · Scale

One architecture · three scales

Learn the workflow at 13 gal. The 1 BBL and 3–5 BBL builds behave the same — same ports, same hardware, same cleaning regime. You scale your vessel, not your process knowledge.

Side by side

Compare the scales.

Same workflow, same fittings, same pressure rating. Here's where the three sizes diverge — and where the 1 BBL is moving to match the 3–5 BBL build.

One architecture · three scales

Start small. Scale without rebuying the workflow.

Every Unitank uses the same fittings, same cleaning regime, same valve hardware. The vessel grows; the process you learned doesn't.

Step 1 · learn the workflow

Homebrew Unitank

8, 13, or 26 gallons. Master pressure transfers, spunding, and yeast harvest at homebrew scale.

From $1,849 USD

Scale up
Step 2 · go commercial

1 BBL Unitank

Same valves, same ports, bigger vessel. Closed hop additions and transfers

From $2,699 USD

Production
Step 3 · production · soon

3 / 5 BBL Unitank

Side manway, base jacket, commercial CIP layout. Same six accessories, same cleaning chemistry — at a scale that pays a taproom's bills.

Launch Q3 2026

Already own a Homebrew Unitank? The 1 BBL and 3/5 BBL use the same valve, gasket, and racking-arm hardware. Your spares drawer carries over. The next vessel is just a bigger version of the one already in your garage.

Unitank questions

Common questions.

I'm in the US — will I get hit with tariffs, duties, or brokerage fees?+

No. Every price on this site includes free continental US shipping, and we prepay all duties, tariffs, and brokerage on your behalf. You won't get a courier collect-on-delivery for surprise import fees days after your order lands. The price you see is what you pay. (Alaska, Hawaii, and international freight — contact us for a quote.)

Do I need a BräuPro to use a Unitank?+

No. The Unitank is a standalone fermenter. It pairs with any tri-clamp kettle — our BräuPro and Unibräu brewhouses, your existing HERMS or RIMS, or someone else's pilot system. The only thing the Unitank cares about is that wort can get into it; how that wort got made is your call.

What's changing with the 1 BBL build?+

The current 1 BBL Unitank ships with a partial body jacket — same configuration that's been inside the BräuPro 1 BBL for the last two years. Starting fall 2026, the 1 BBL moves to a fully jacketed + insulated build, matching the spec of the 3–5 BBL production line. Faster crashes on lager, less ambient bleed-through, same vessel envelope. Current builds remain in stock until the changeover; updated builds open for pre-order this summer.

How is this different from a Spike, Ss BrewTech, or plastic conical?+

Three things.(1) It's jacketed.Most homebrew conicals manage temperature with an immersion coil sitting inside the beer — one more thing to clean and sanitize, cooling from a single spot instead of the whole wall, and hardware in the way of your trub dump and yeast harvest. The Unitank's dimpled jacket cools from outside the vessel; nothing inside but beer.(2) Pressure-rated to 15 PSI— spund, carbonate, and closed-transfer to keg without ever exposing the beer to air.(3) Standard tri-clamp at every port, and it's the same vessel that ships inside our commercial pilot systems — the architecture you buy at 13 gal scales to 1 BBL without changing your process.

Tap water cooling or glycol — which do I need?+

Tap water works for ales fermenting at 65–72°F if your tap is cold enough year-round — which it isn't, for most of North America in summer. Glycol is required for lagers, cold-crash, and anything where your set point is below ambient. Most homebrewers add a glycol chiller within the first year. We sell a matched BEF-02 glycol kit on the parts page.

Can I run two batches on one BräuPro?+

Yes — that's the most common second-purchase pattern. Brew on Saturday, ferment in Unitank #1, brew the next batch the following weekend, ferment in Unitank #2. The BräuPro brewhouse runs back-to-back at whatever pace you want; only the fermenters are the throughput bottleneck. Add a second Unitank in the same size class and you've doubled your output.

What's the warranty?+

2 years full warranty on the vessel, jacket, valve hardware, and every Bräu Supply-manufactured part. Lifetime parts support — every component is serviceable and individually replaceable. Tri-clamp throughout means most replacement parts ship from stock the day you ask for them.

When do the 3 BBL and 5 BBL Unitanks ship?+

Production launch is targeted for Q3 2026, parallel with the BräuPro 3–5 BBL systems. Waitlist members get early pricing, build-slot priority, and the prototype walkthrough in Q1. No deposit required — joining is non-binding.
