Brewtools Fermenter Range
Brewtools kit is modular, so it helps to think in “jobs”. Here’s what each part of the range is designed to do, and who it tends to suit in practice.
Unitanks
These are your main fermentation vessels – the core of a proper beer fermentation setup. If you want cleaner, more repeatable results (and a workflow that doesn’t feel improvised), this is usually where you start. Unitank Light is the simpler route in; the full Unitank range is for brewers who know they’ll want more flexibility as they build out their system.
Brite Tanks
Brite tanks are about the step after fermentation: conditioning, carbonation and serving prep. They’re a good fit if you’re already happy fermenting in one vessel but want a dedicated tank for getting beer bright, stable and ready to package – particularly useful when you’re brewing often and want to keep your fermenters free.
MiniUnis
Compact “pro-style” tanks for brewers who want the Brewtools approach in a smaller footprint. They’re handy for tight brew spaces, smaller batch sizes, or when you want multiple vessels for different beers (or different stages) without filling the whole room with stainless.
Glycol Chillers
This is the backbone of fermentation temperature control for jacketed tanks. If you’re serious about stable temps year-round (or you’re running more than one vessel), glycol is the usual next step. It’s one of those upgrades you notice in the glass.
FCS Kit
If you’re building out a more advanced setup, Brewtools also offers the FCS Kit – a full fermentation control system that gives you live monitoring of temperature, gravity and pressure, plus automated control over gas, heating and cooling when paired with compatible accessories. It’s becoming increasingly popular with brewers who want tighter control and a more joined-up fermentation setup.
If you’re stuck, work backwards from your workflow: how you’ll cool it, how you’ll transfer it, and where it’ll live. The right brewtools fermenter usually makes itself obvious after that.
