How many Fermenters do you have.

[DaNewf]

4 pages in and no mention of the Mr. Beer fermenter (unless I missed it).

Have none of us used it (I opted for the Cooper's DIY kit over Mr. Beer when I started) or have all those that used it since gotten rid of it?

I figure that some brewers hang on to the Mr. Beer fermenter for nostalgia purposes or to brew small batches in.

Inadequate don't begin to describe the feeling...

I have no idea!

I've been a winemaker for a long time, and I have many carboys (both glass and better bottles) in 5 and 6 gallon sizes for that- maybe 25-35(?) of those. I have lots of 'ale pails' in sizes 6.5 gallons up to 8 gallons- maybe 10(?) of those. I have lots of 3 gallon carboys, both better bottles and glass. I have some big primary bin-type of fermenters for big batches of wine.

So, 50-60(?) maybe. Give or take a dozen or so.

But this really is perfect:

I have exactly one less than I need at all times. Oh...and one more than my wife wants in the house .

I only have 1 Ale Pail & 3 5G carboys (2 glass, 1 BB) rarely used. With just one small temp-controlled ferm chamber, that's all I'm willing to try at one time.

Catdaddy66,

Just in case you were only feeling a 'LITTLE' inadequate...



Now ALL of us feel that way, too.

I forgot about the dozens of one gallon jugs, by the way.

However, I have a big house and things like carboys can fill up half of the basement with room left over- that's how my obsession first got out of control.

The sad part is that right now, I only have about a dozen big carboys full. That's from wine I made last fall, and will be bottled before making the wine from this fall's harvest. I have chokecherry wine, apple wine, crabapple wine, and plum wine to package. The rhubarb, cider, oaked blackberry, and blueberry has been bottled. I had far more full carboys a month ago, and still have a long way to get to get it all packaged.

Winemaking is a great hobby for a procrastinator!

I had four. Two buckets, 2 glass carboys. Dropped one a couple weeks ago and lost my lager and the carboy. Nobody was hurt but it was a very sad time.

Just curious how many fermenters you all have. I have 9 Plastic buckets ( thanks to a 10$ sale) ands 5 glass carboys ( thanks to a 14$ sale)

I have billions of them. Working in my basement as we speak.

Yeast are fermenters. Vessels are fermentors.

Substance over form!

Good catch.

3 6 gallon (one glass)
4 5 gallon
4 4 gallon

Thought I had a lot, since my fermenting chamber can hold only 6. Apparently I am mistaken

That's what I love about brewing... It's the perfect hobby for lazy people like me!

My daughter... "Aren't you going to bottle today?"

Me... " Nah! I'll get to it next weekend."

Lol!

I had one for a while until I murdered it with close to boiling temp water.

It was good for small batches. As good as any other vessel.

But then I murdered it with 200°F wort. Oops.

Yeah don't do that.
