Open Fermentation Tank
Open fermentation tanks are traditional vessels used for various fermentation processes, such as those used for beer, wine, and certain types of sourdough bread. Unlike closed fermentation tanks, open tanks do not have airtight or airtight lids, allowing exposure to ambient air during fermentation. Open fermentation tanks are relatively simple and cost-effective compared to closed fermentation tanks with advanced temperature control and cooling systems. However, open fermentation is not suitable for all beer styles and requires expertise and careful sanitation practices to avoid contamination. ZYB Craft will recommend the most suitable open fermentation tank for you based on the type of beer you need to brew.
