30 Gallon Copper Conical Fermenter with Steel Stand

Fermentation is where your spirit's flavor is really born, and this 30 gallon copper conical gives that step the vessel it deserves. The conical bottom lets spent yeast and trub settle into the cone, so you can drop the sediment and draw off clean wash without disturbing the rest of the batch, leaving you a cleaner charge for the still.

The body is copper rather than plastic or stainless, which brings copper's natural affinity for binding sulfur compounds into play from the very start of the process. The vessel is lead-free throughout, and it rides on a sturdy black-painted steel stand that raises the outlet to a workable height for racking and draining.

At 30 gallons it's a capable match for a 20-plus gallon still, letting you ferment a full charge in one go. A worthwhile upgrade for any home distiller who wants to take control of the fermentation half of the craft.
