ANVIL 5 Gallon Fermenter King Junior

Product Information

The 5 Gallon Fermenter King Junior is a versatile pressure fermenter and keg designed for fermenting up to 4.7 gallons of wort. It can also be used as a gravity fermenter by attaching a blow-off tube or airlock. The Fermenter King Junior features a crystal clear PET tank, providing visibility of the fermentation process. It comes with a pressure lid fitted with a pressure relief valve and stainless steel ball lock gas and liquid posts. The liquid ball lock post is connected to a silicone dip tube that floats internally on a stainless steel float ball, ensuring that you always pick up clear beer from the top of the keg. This makes the Fermenter King Junior an excellent choice for fermenting fresh wort kits. With its relatively small size, fermenting up to 4.7 gallons of wort is simple. By attaching a spending valve to an MFL-type gas disconnect (not supplied), you can easily control the internal pressure of your fermenter. After fermentation, you can carbonate your beer in the Fermenter King Junior and serve it directly out of the fermenter by attaching it to your tap system or any handheld tap. Additionally, you can easily transfer carbonated beverages from the Fermenter King Junior to kegs, mini kegs, and growlers.

The Fermenter King Junior is manufactured by MCH Australia Pty Ltd and more information can be found on their website: www.anvilbrewing.com

Warnings:

1. Cleaners must be diluted to suitable concentrations before use. Ensure cleaners are chemically compatible with PET, silicone, EPDM, polypropylene, and stainless steel.
2. Do not apply more than 35 psi (2.4 bar) to the tank under any circumstance.
3. NEVER connect to an unregulated pressure source.
4. If you connect an external pressure source, ensure it has an independent pressure relief valve (PRV) pre-set to below 35 psi (2.4 bar).
5. Use only the RED pressure relief valve supplied by MCH Australia Pty Ltd on the pressure lid.
6. Do not tamper with the pressure relief valve.
7. Do not use the tank under pressure if it has been physically damaged. Conduct a hydrostatic test after every 24 months of use to ensure safety for reuse.

Pressure Lid Assembly Instructions:

1. Clean and sanitize all components before assembly.
2. Thread the red pressure relief valve into the pressure lid. Screw down firmly.
3. Ensure that the gas and liquid bulkhead fittings are correctly assembled with the post.

WARNINGS

1. Clean wash and sanitize the tank at temperatures below 122°F (50°C). Do not fill the tank with wort or liquid above 122°F (50°C)
2. Cleaners must be diluted to suitable concentrations before If extended contact time is expected, then users must ensure that cleaners are chemically compatible with PET, silicone, EPDM, polypropylene, and stainless steel.
3. Do not apply more than 35 psi (2.4 bar) to the tank under any
4. NEVER connect to an unregulated pressure
5. If you connect an external pressure source; ensure it has an independent pressure relief valve (PRV) pre-set to below 35 psi (2.4 bar).
6. Use only the RED pressure relief valve supplied by MCH Australia Pty Ltd on the pressure lid.
7. Do not tamper with the pressure relief
8. Do not use the tank under pressure if it has been physically damaged i.e. dropped on the ground
9. Do not expose to temperatures below 5°F (-2°C).
10. Keep the tank out of direct sunlight and other sources of UV
11. The tank is pressure tested at production and is marked with a date If it is being used under pressure, then a hydrostatic test must be conducted every 24 months of use to ensure that it is safe for reuse.

PRESSURE LID ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Clean and sanitize all components before
2. Thread the red pressure relief valve into the pressure Screw down firmly.
3. Ensure that the gas and liquid bulkhead fittings are correctly assembled with the post fully tightened onto the pressure lid. Insert the bulkhead fittings into the holes in the pressure lid and tighten the locknuts. O-rings should be located on the top surface of the lid for correct sealing.

FERMENTATION TIPS

Fermenting beverages under pressure provides brewers with the ability to reduce unwanted esters and speed up fermentation times with the capacity to ferment at higher temperatures with fewer off-flavors.

To control the tank’s internal pressure, brewers will need to attach our spending valve (part KK-9161) to either a stainless steel MFL-type gas disconnect (part BE-000731-00). Attach the spending valve to the MFL disconnect, set the adjustable valve to your desired pressure, and then attach the disconnect to the gas post of the tank’s pressure lid. The gas post is identified by a notch at the base of the post to help differentiate it from the liquid post.

Your liquid port should have the silicone dip tube attached to the float ball inside the tank. You are now able to hold pressure within your tank while releasing excess pressure. If your gauge indicates a slightly different pressure than your desired setting, you can easily readjust the valve pressure. We recommend 5 to 10 psi on ales and 15 psi on lagers.

Be careful when releasing pressure on any beer still fermenting under pressure. The headspace of your fermenter will fill with the fermenting beer’s krausen (foam) and could potentially clog your PRV and gas post-dip tube.
