MiniBrew™ 6.5 Gallon Conical Fermenter
The flagship homebrew conical fermenter — cleaner workflow, easier transfers, built to upgrade. 🍻
Made in the USA • 60º Conical Design • 4" Top Port • Food-Grade HDPE
Brew Cleaner Beer With Less Hassle ✅
The MiniBrew™ 6.5G Conical Fermenter is the original homebrew conical designed for brewers who want a simpler, more controlled process. Ferment, manage trub, and transfer from one vessel with confidence—without the mess and guesswork that comes with buckets and carboys.
This is your rock-solid base system: standard hardware included, with optional upgrade kits available when you’re ready.
Why the 6.5G MiniBrew Conical Works So Well
True 60º Conical Design
The 60º cone encourages yeast and trub to collect where they belong, so you can manage sediment and transfers with more control and less disturbance.
One-Tank Workflow
Reduce transfers, reduce exposure risk, and keep your process clean and repeatable—from fermentation to serving vessel.
Easy to Clean + Easy to Use
A wide 4" top port makes cleaning, krausen removal, and dry hopping dramatically easier than narrow-neck fermenters.
Tough, Brew-Day Practical
Made from food-grade HDPE (high-density polyethylene) with a smooth interior—lightweight, impact-resistant, and far safer to handle than glass.

- RKRick K.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoLOVING IT!
Great product, great service!!!!!!!!!!!
- OOlafRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoLogical
I enjoy the simplicity and logic of this design. I haven't brewed in years partly because it’s a messy process. And I try to make purchases that can be used for several applications. This can also be repurposed for making wine as well. And I think kambucha if I’m not mistaken. Knowing me, once I get started I’m probably going to get another one or go larger! Customer service is excellent as well! You won’t regret getting one, I assure you.
- BWBrian W.Rated 5 out of 5 stars4 years agoLove this Conical
I love this fermenter. I graduated from carboys to this conical fermenter and couldn’t be happier. Easier to clean, able to dump trub, no more raking to secondary and you can’t beat the price.
- NBNeb B.Rated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoFirst batch
I brewed a Belgian pils and it is currently in primary! Great design, just wish the plastic welds were a little cleaner on the lid. I’m going to add a few tri clover pieces to allow for pumping from fermentation vessel to keg . All in all I’m very pleased with the design .
- TTTom T.Rated 5 out of 5 stars5 years agoMy first MiniBrew Fermenter
Haven't used it yet but looks to be of very high quality. Much shorter than I imagined it to be, will probably use on my counter top so I have enough height to transfer to my kegs. No instructions for assembly included, ( mostly common sense ) , but I feel instructions of stand assembly and where and how much if any thread tape is required with the weldless fittings and ball valves. Would like to see an option of a wall mount, which I currently have 2 fast ferments wall mounted. Overall I like the design and quality and am looking forward to using it.
