Sanke Fermentors are a relatively cheap alternative to purchasing a stainless steel conical fermentor. A brand new Sanke Keg and a Brewers Hardware Sanke Fermentor Keg Kit can be purchased for $200. Compare that to $640 for a similar sized Blichmann.
Advantages to fermenting in a stainless steel Sanke
- Safer than a glass carboy
- Little to no light or oxygen exposure
- Harder to scratch than plastic
- Able to be safely pressurized for transfering with CO2
Types of Sanke Fermentors
