Good deal

Pressure Capable

The main selling point of the Flex+ over the standard Flex is the ability to pressurize up to 15psi compared to the Flex’s 2psi capabilities. What does this mean? Pressure capable means you can carbonate beer inside your fermenter (as opposed to bottles or kegs) in a little over 24 hours as opposed to a week. You can also pressure transfer your beer directly into a keg or bottles, eliminating any oxygen exposure.

Upgradable

With over 25 accessories available there’s no limit to what this fermenter can do! Want to add a thermometer or sight glass? It has ports for attaching those. Want to add wheels or leg extensions to transfer directly into a keg? It can do that.

Stainless Steel

We all start with glass carboys or plastic buckets, but the day you graduate to stainless is the day brewing gets extra fun. 304 stainless steel is professional grade, easy to clean, scratch resistant and will last a lifetime.

Removable Lid

To remove the lid, simply pop off all five clips around the side. That way, you can get your entire arm in the fermenter to clean and sanitize it.

3-Port Lid

The Flex+ comes standard with the 3-Port Lid. This lid and clamp combo are designed to hold up to 15psi and offers even more “Flex-ability" over the standard Flex. The lid has three 1.5” tri-clamp ports. These ports are specifically designed for a blow off (vents the CO2 gas that is produced during fermentation), hop additions port (so you don’t have to take off the entire lid or remove another accessory on the lid) and a pressure relief valve (PRV port) so you can stay safe when your Flex+ is under pressure.

*The 3-Port Lid will also fit the standard Flex.

02 / 06

Cone Shape

Commerical fermenters are cone shaped to reduce the amount of surface area the beer and dead yeast have to interact with. A flat bottom fermenter spreads yeast out along the entire bottom. A cone shaped fermenter reduces the contact surface area by over 50%.

03 / 06

Temperature Control

We can only brew so many styles of beer at room temperature. The Flex+ has a specially designed temperature control system called the TC-100, which will keep your beer within 1 degree of whatever your target fermentation temperature is!

04 / 06

Racking Arm

Racking is when you move your beer from the fermenter to a serving vessel. The Flex+ has a dedicated racking port, which is the lowest port with a valve. On the inside of the valve, the racking arm can be attached and rotated so you can drain the fermenter without sucking up all the dead yeast and trub that has accumulated in the cone. A racking arm comes standard with all Flex+ orders.

05 / 06

Tri-Clamp Ports

...two of them to be more specific. We added these connections to give you endless “Flex-ability” when you brew. Add a sample valve to pull those delicious samples or a sight glass to watch the clear beer drain out.

06 / 06

Half Batch Capable

The Flex+ can ferment up to 6 gallons of beer, but you don’t have to be committed to that amount every time. The Flex was designed to easily ferment a 2.5 gallon batch as well. Drink as much or as little as you want!
