30L Chubby Apollo
PET Pressure Fermenter
Australian made 30L round bottom pressure rated fermenter.
The Keg King team have substantially improved the already popular '30L Chubby' fermenter with a range of features including a larger 115mm lid opening, integrated carry handles and a heavier duty PET. The team have listened to what home-brewers have been saying and integrated these improvements into this new product, now named the 30L chubby Apollo. These tanks are manufactured and individually pressure tested to 5 bar in Melbourne, Australia, ensuring these tanks can be used with up to 25psi of pressure. These units come standard with a floating dip tube, dip tube filter, Pressure Relief Valve and ball lock posts.
If you'd like to ferment under pressure you'll need to purchase a spunding valve to regulate the pressure inside the tank during fermenting.
These tanks are blow moulded using a thick PET template, PET has a maximum working temperature of 50°C. Do not fill these tanks with boiling or hot liquids as they will damage the PET. Each tank is stamped with a date, these tanks are not suitable for use under pressure after this date unless they are hydrotested.
Warning: Please read through the entire manual before operating. Improper use of pressurised containers can lead to damage to products, property and injury.
Instruction Manual:
Features:
- Wider 115mm Lid for Easy Cleaning: The Chubby Apollo features an impressive 115mm lid, making it easy to get your arm inside for thorough cleaning.
- Durable tank: These units now feature a thicker PET giving the fermenter body a more rigid design less susceptible to caving in or deforming.
- Integrated Handles: Built-in handles allow you to move your fermenter around even when it’s full. These handles have been strength tested and are able to hold a 25L batch from just one handle. This being said please make sure to use both handles when moving the fermenter when full to minimise the risk of mechanical fatigue and unnecessary strain on the PET.
- 30L Capacity: Perfect for single batches of up to 25L.
- Versatile Use: While it’s a closed bottom pressure fermenter, it can also function as a simple gravity fermenter with an airlock. To use as a standard fermenter you'll just need to drill a hole close to the bottom and add your choice of bulkhead tap.
- Stable Design: The bottom chime ensures the tank remains upright without the need for an external rack or frame.
- 1/2" Standard Lid Port: The extra wide lid includes a dryhop port and a convenient 1/2" centre port with a hex cap. The ½ inch BSP threads on the lid allow for additional equipment like thermowells or CIP systems to be added.
- Australian Made: These tanks are blow moulded in Melbourne Australia and individually pressure tested. Please be aware that the lid and accessories are not manufactured in Australia.
