Drums & Fermenters
Every batch needs somewhere to sit while it works. Beer, wine, olives, a molasses wash or a curing brine, the job is the same: food grade plastic, a lid you can trust, and enough room that it does not climb out the top on day two.
Sizing is the first decision. The 30 Lt brewing fermenter with a screw lid and the Handcraft Supplies 30 Lt suit a standard batch. The 60 Lt drum with a clear screw lid is for bigger brews, or for anything you want to see into without opening. SSS Plastic make the Italian food grade vat with handles and the Italian plastic fermenter barrel, which are what most people use for olives, sauce and grape must. For pressure work, the Keg King Apollo 30 L conical comes as a kit with a yeast dump valve, the Apollo 30 L Snub Nose is the shorter one for tight fridges, and the Fermentasaurus conical PET 35 L starter kit lets you watch the yeast drop out. Spare lids with no hole, the Morgans 30 W rigid shell heat pad and the 20 Lt olive curing pail with its inner grate are all here too.
Worth knowing: leave real headspace, a quarter of the vessel at least. Cleaning krausen off the ceiling is a job nobody enjoys twice.
Both stores, Laverton North and Epping, keep the common sizes in stock. See also fermenter accessories, airlocks and spunding valves and stainless steel tanks.

Graduation volume stickers for the Fermentasaurus conical fermenter, sold by Keg King as an accessory. They let you read the level off the side of the vessel instead of guessing from the top.

Clearance stock: a 20 litre plastic fermenter, listed against a miscellaneous code as a drum. Sold at a clearance price, so expect it to be exactly what it is rather than showroom fresh.

A 5 litre glass fermenter and dispenser bottle, perfect for kombucha, water kefir or a small batch brew. The clear glass lets you watch the ferment work its magic, and the wide form makes filling and cleaning easy. A lovely vessel for the home fermenter.
This particular kit is a one-click option for those who want to be able to brew under pressure with a 55L Tri-Conical FermZilla. Designed as a double batch system that goes perfectly hand in hand with the BrewZilla 65L Gen3.1.1 or Gen4 if you are looking to Brew All Grain or Partial Mash beers.
This kit now includes a 600mL Collection container with a 3 Inch Tri-clover connection that is the gold standard for sanitary design and effortless removal.
This is a very good starting point for those who are just getting into pressurisable fermenters but also want to dabble in yeast harvesting and purged dry hopping. If you would prefer a more simplistic pressurisable fermenter in a similar size, we would very much recommend the 60L All Rounder FermZilla Pressure Brewing Kit. This unit does not have the added collection container / butterfly valve assembly at the bottom.
The FermZilla 55L Tri-Conical can be used in the following ways:
Basic Gravity Fermenter - New Brewers
Pressure Brewing Kit - Most Popular
Hop Bong Pressure Kit - For Intermediate Brewers
Glycol Twister Pressure Brewing Kit - Glycol Obsessed
*(We recommend fermentation fridges/chambers over glycol chilled)
We would also still recommend getting a CO2 Gas to be able to transfer to a keg/bottle/can or dispense directly out of the unit. As these units were designed to be fermenting and pressure transfer vessels for your delicious cargo.
What we have inside this kit is:
- 55L Conical FermZilla Tri-Conical Base Kit (unassembled)
- 2 x Red Carbonation Caps (We use these as Gas posts)
- 2 x-Yellow Yellow Carbonation Caps (For Liquid Posts)
- 1 x Stainless Steel Float with Silicone Dip Tube and Mesh Filter (You will need to cut this to your desired depth)
- 1 x BlowTie Integrated Spunding Valve Kit
- FREE! 0-15psi Integrated Blow Tie Spunding Valve RRP$39.95!
- 1 x duotight 8mm x Gas Ball Lock Disconnect
- 1 x 8mm Rigid Joiner Tube
*The above items cannot be removed / altered within this kit*
The new and improved FermZilla 55L brought to you by the critical key minds and engineers behind the original Gen1 and Gen2. But with all the tweaks that make it the most cost-effective conical fermenter to date!
The new FermZilla is a revolution in home brewing allowing home brewers and small micro-breweries a level of control that meets everyone's budget. With the FermZilla you have many of the benefits of a much more expensive stainless conical fermenter but with the additional benefit of being able to see the fermentation process in action and also ferment at pressures up to 2.4bar.
This is an incredible product at an extremely attractive price point in all the different sizes and models.
What's new the difference between Gen2 and Gen3?
1. Moulded 3 inch tri clover ferrule in the body of the FermZilla tank
2. 3 inch Tri-Clover Butterfly Valve
3. 3 Inch Tri-Clover 600mL Collection Container
Please note:
When using this vessel under pressure. You must perform a water pressure check to ensure your connections are leak proof. To do this. Fill your FermZilla up with water, then apply a minimum of 15psi pressure to the vessel. Check for leaks around all Cap / Threads.
Occasionally these units may come with some small indentations/dimples/dents from shipping, this is just a reality of shipping large blow-moulded thin-walled vessels. But dont panic, these fermenters are designed to endure minor deformations such as this. This was a necessary implementation into the design so that they can withstand some accidental suction from cold crashing and rough handling in transit without compromising their integrity and ability to endure high pressures. All small dents will push out and settle with use and positive pressure and are only an issue and warrant replacement in the rare event they start to show white stress patterns or have damaged the plastic.
Warnings:
Please read the instructions thoroughly before use.
Keeping the units out of direct sunlight is a must for all PET fermenters. Sunlight degrades PET.
Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 35°C and pressure ferment past 5psi at these temperatures.
Please note:
When using this vessel under pressure. You must perform a water pressure check to ensure your connections are leak proof before you fill the fermenter every time.
To do this. Fill your FermZilla up with some water, then apply a minimum of 15psi pressure to the vessel. Check for leaks around all Cap / Threads by tipping it upside down, in all directions where there are risks of leakage.

2 Inch TC Clamp - 2 Segments:
Made from 304 stainless steel and compatible with wide range of other standard 2inch tri-clover fittings.
This is a standard 2inch tri-clover clamps. They are commonly used in brewery hardware and are compatible with our Alcoengine Pot Stills and Reflux Stills and will allow you to connect these stills to keg boilers.
They are often used on brewery hardware larger than 100L in size.
2 Inch TC Beaded Seal - Silicone:
This silicone beaded seal is 2" is suited to sanitary tri-clover clamp connections. The seal itself can come in a wide range of colours (chosen at random based on supply at the time.)
Colours can include: White, Black, Brown, Transparent, or Semi Transparent White and Blue. Temperature Range: -54°C to 200°C
Cornelius Type Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) (RED 35psi / 2.5BAR):
This is the most common relief valve on all ball lock kegs. If you do have a lever tab second hand ball lock keg, you can switch it out with one of these.
GREE - 65psi (4.5Bar)
GREY - 100psi (6.9Bar)
NOTE: This is a safety device designed to release pressure at the approximate rated pressure. THIS IS NOT TO BE USED AS SPUNDING VALVE. The pressure rating on these is approximate with tolerance of +/- 10psi. If you need accurate pressure control to hold residual pressure in a pressure fermenter or pressure vessel we would recommend using the BlowTie or alternatively you can get the whole BlowTie Kit.
PCO1881 Male x 2 Inch TC (POK):
For all you hop bongers out there. We have an end cap for all end caps! The Polyketone 2 Inch Tri-Clover x PCO1881 Male Thread (PET drink bottle thread like a Schweppes / Coca Cola bottle)
4 Inch TC Pressure Lid with 2 Inch TC Port:
Get a better RAPT Pill WiFi reading with the all new Kegmenter Lid from KegLand. Suits any standard 4 Inch Tri-Clover Ferrule.
Reinforced Industrial Plastic 4 Inch TC pressure lid with 2 Inch TC port. Suits a 35psi RED Pressure relief valve and two carbonation caps. You can also fit a temp twister and 600mm thermowell probe into it.
Due to the large 4 Inch Tri-Clover diameter, it is difficult to get higher pressures without leaking. Therefore we suggest using this up to 1.5 BAR (21psi)
This should only be used with a Red 35psi PRV (Pressure Relief Valve) or the Yellow 17psi PRV

This stainless steel kegmenter comes with an airlock and a flat plate, but it can also be used under pressure if desired. We suggest purchasing the lid with ball lock posts and pressure relief value if you want to use this Kegmenter under pressure.
These stainless steel vessels are designed to look and function like a commercial beer keg, but with a wide 10cm (4inch) tri-clover opening at the top that allows you to easily clean the keg. This new 29L size is ideal for 20-25L batches, giving you some extra headroom within the Kegmenter.
With the 3600W heating element, this oversized 118 Lt kegmenter can also be used as a distillation boiler. Since it's a 2inch Tri-Clover feature, it'll fit right into the port on the Kegmenter's foundation.

Frequently asked questions
What size fermenter do I need?
For a standard 20 to 23 L beer kit, a 30 L fermenter leaves room for the foam that forms during fermentation. A 60 L fermenter or vat suits bigger batches or fermenting wine must, and a 15 L fermenter is good for small batches.
Plastic, glass or stainless steel: which fermenter is best?
Food-grade plastic is light, affordable and easy to handle. Glass does not scratch or hold flavours. Pressure fermenters such as the Apollo and FermZilla let you ferment under pressure and transfer beer without exposing it to air. All of them make good beer when kept clean.
Do I need an airlock?
Yes, if your fermenter has a sealed lid. Fit an airlock through the lid grommet or a bored bung so gas can escape and air cannot get in. Pressure fermenters use a pressure lid or spunding valve instead. See our airlocks.
How do I keep my fermenter at the right temperature?
Keep it somewhere with a steady temperature, away from direct sun. In cooler months a fermenter heat pad or heater belt holds the temperature up, and a temperature controller makes it easier still.
