stainless steel glycol cooling jackets Open Fermentation Vessel
The Open Fermentation Vessel is a purpose-built container for open-air fermentation of beer, wine, cider, mead, koji, miso, hot sauce, and a wide spectrum of artisanal ferments. Crafted from food-grade 304 stainless steel with a polished interior and brushed exterior finish, it offers a sanitary, durable, and aesthetically refined environment for wild and controlled open fermentations alike.
Unlike closed fermentation systems that seal off all oxygen, this vessel embraces the open surface — allowing natural airflow, wild yeast capture, and the development of complex, terroir-driven flavor profiles that simply cannot be replicated in an anaerobic environment.
