SS BREWTECH 64 litre UNITANK 2.0

UNITANKS: THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR SIMPLIFYING THE BREWING PROCESS.

In the world of brewing, efficiency and flexibility are key factors in creating the perfect beer. That's where unitanks come into play.

These innovative vessels combine the functionality of a fermenter and a bright tank, allowing brewers to ferment and carbonate their beer all in one container. But what exactly sets a unitank apart from a regular conical fermenter? Let's dive in and explore the benefits and features of this game-changing brewing equipment.

To put it simply, all unitanks are conical fermenters, but not all conical fermenters are unitanks. The main distinction lies in the pressure capability. Unitanks are designed to handle pressures of up to 15 PSI, making them suitable for both fermentation and carbonation processes.

This means that brewers can now streamline their brewing operations by using a single vessel for multiple purposes. One of the biggest advantages of using a unitank is the simplification of the brewing process. With a unitank, brewers can consolidate several steps into one piece of equipment. Gone are the days of transferring beer between different vessels for fermentation and carbonation. With a unitank, the entire process can be carried out in one container, saving time and effort. 

While unitanks do have the capability to serve beer directly from the vessel, it is highly recommended to transfer the beer to a dedicated serving vessel such as a Brite Tank or Keg. This precaution ensures that there is no inadvertent pickup or mixing of fermentation by-products in the finished beer, resulting in a cleaner and more consistent taste. Another benefit of unitanks is the flexibility they offer. Brewers can easily control the fermentation temperature, pressure, and carbonation levels within the same vessel.

This level of control allows for experimentation and fine-tuning of the brewing process, ultimately leading to better beer quality and flavor. In addition to their functional advantages, unitanks also offer practical benefits for breweries. By reducing the number of vessels needed for brewing, unitanks help save space and streamline the cellar setup.

This is especially beneficial for smaller breweries or those with limited space. Additionally, unitanks can be easier to clean and maintain compared to multiple separate vessels, further improving the efficiency of the brewing process. Unitanks are a game-changer in the brewing industry. By combining the features of a fermenter and a bright tank, they simplify the brewing process and offer flexibility, control, and practicality to brewers. Whether you're a small craft brewery or a large-scale operation, unitanks can revolutionize your brewing operations and help you create the perfect beer. So, why not give unitanks a try and take your brewing to the next level?

SS Brewtech 64 litre Unitank.

An evolutionary step forward in homebrew technology! First was increasing the full body wall thickness from 1.2 to 1.5mm 304 Stainless Steel. Next a fully laser welded, professional-grade jacketed cooling solution was added to the already advanced feature set the original Unitank is known for. With up to 50% more cooling surface area, maintaining a stable temperature and crashing your beer has never been more efficient.

Jacketed Cooling

The benefits of jacketed cooling are numerous, and such engineering has become the standard in Ss Brewtech professional Unitanks for years. With Unitank 2.0, those same benefits are available to the home brewer.

When paired with FTSs Touch and Ss Glycol Chillers, the Unitank 2.0 can provide an uncompromised level of fermentation control. The increased surface area of jacketed cooling allows more precise temp control not seen in the home brew industry. Additionally, the added surface area allows the fermenter to crash cool in even the most challenging environments.

Another benefit of moving to jacketed cooling is that removing the coil makes the cleaning process much more straightforward. When used with the Ss Brewtech CIP ball, cleaning can be performed just as the pros do in craft breweries.

Staggered inlet and outlet ports for the glycol jacket help with even coolant distribution in the jacket. The rear-mounted thermowell cleans up the coolant control wiring for an even more professional setup.

Keyed Racking Arm

Like the Chronical 2.0, the Unitank 2.0 features a version of the new Ss Brewtech Racking Arm co-molded with the geometry of the valve body and TC gasket; this ingenious design captures the racking arm and prevents it from coming loose. Additionally, the keyed elements of the valve allow the brewer to know precisely what direction the racking arm is facing based on the orientation of the valve on the vessel. What's more, the Unitank valve is the same full pressure-rated valve used on professional Ss Brewtech equipment.

All the Valves & Ports

The Unitank 2.0 continues with all the beloved features of the original Unitank. On top of all the fully welded TC connections and pro features, the Unitank 2.0 allows the brewer to quickly carbonate beer in under 24 hours using the carb stone while precisely monitoring head pressure. After fermenting and carbonating, the brewer can perform a true pressurized and closed transfer to a keg or canning machine significantly reducing the chances of oxidation when compared to open transfers.

Higher pressure limits allow the user to dispense beer directly out of the vessel. Lastly, adding an optional Sspunding Valve to the Unitank  gives the brewer the ability to ferment under pressure and gives them the option to use the final few gravity points left of active fermentation to naturally carbonate their beer instead of force carbonate. This feature set and flexibility are why pro brewers use Unitanks in their brewing and packaging processes.

We recommend adding the Unitank Essentials Kit,  FTSs Touch Temp Control and and FTSs Touch Heating to your setup.
