The Benefits of Open Top Fermentation

Open-top fermentation allows brewers to harvest yeast efficiently and easily, ensuring its vitality without trub or hops interference. Open fermentation also facilitates the release of unwanted compounds like sulfur, enhancing beer and spirit quality. Proper sanitation is crucial, as is transferring the beer to a secondary vessel after primary fermentation. Open fermentation is a captivating avenue to explore the art of brewing and distilling. All Deutsche tanks with top-mounted manways allow the option for partial open-top fermentation by opening while fermenting to let the product vent.
