The Vulcan Conical Kegmenter combines the convenience of a conical pressure fermenter with the toughness of a stainless steel keg. It has a deep 90° cone with a 3″ tri-clover dump valve, so you can dump yeast and trub straight out of the bottom.
It’s built from 1.8–2.14mm thick 304 stainless steel, making it extremely tough and durable. Because it’s stainless rather than PET, you can clean it with heat and strong commercial-grade chemicals, and you can even boil in it. Inside, it’s finished to the same standard as a 50L commercial keg rather than a mirror polish.
This starter kit comes with a pressure fermenter lid with a floating dip tube, red and yellow carbonation caps and a 45psi PRV, plus a 600mL collection container with a 25psi PRV. It sits on a triple-suspension rubberised stand that helps prevent scratching and makes it easy to move.
To ferment under pressure you’ll need a spunding valve, such as our BlowTie Spunding Valve, which is sold separately.
Vulcan or Romulan?
The Vulcan has a clean outer skin with no extra ports, so there’s less to clean. The Romulan version adds a 2″ tri-clover side port for a heating wand and a 1.5″ tri-clover port on the cone for a rotating racking arm.

Cleaning
We recommend StellarClean (PBW) for everyday cleaning, StellarSoda (caustic) for a deep clean, and StellarSan to sanitise. Never use bleach or chlorinated TSP (pink powder) on stainless steel. They can cause pitting, which isn’t covered by the warranty.
